Can the Hair Extension Color Be Changed?
One of the standout features of Cliphair’s extensions is their customizability. Made from durable Remy human hair, our extensions can be dyed, toned and styled to suit your desired look. So in the unlikely event that you really cant find the color your looking for in our collection, you can create your own colored hair extensions. Opt for a light shade for the base like Lightest Blonde and use a semi-permanent dye that matches your own hair to dye them. Want to try a rooted or ombre effect? Or rainbow-colored ends? Check out our blog ‘How to dye hair extensions’ for a full guide and tutorial.
The premium quality of our extensions ensures that even after dyeing, the hair retains its soft texture and natural sheen however this is based on semi-permanent dyes or gentle toners. Using bleach, high volume peroxides and lighteners isn’t recommended for human hair extensions as they have already been bleached during manufacturing so this will affect the quality. For the best results, we recommend consulting a professional stylist when customizing your Remy extensions to maintain their quality and longevity.
