i don't want to buy new extensions because they're pretty expensive so i was thinking i should just take them to a salon to have them dye them to my natural hair color which is a light brown/dirty blonde color.i've read that it's a basic rule that you cannot dye extensions lighter (because they would be damaged from being processed too many times, even if they are human hair), but you can always dye them darkeris this true?and would their be an exception to that rule if i just brought them to a professional at a salon? considering they know what they're doing and the extensions would still be in good condition.i haven't looked into how much that would cost .but i was thinking if it was cheaper to just do it myself without ruining them how would i go about that? what products would i need to buy etc?yes, they are HUMAN HAIR extensions.
I've bleached my extensions before (they're made with human hair also) and it didn't make them damaged or anything so I'd recommend it :) The best bleach I've used so far is Raw Beyond Bleach from Hot Topic (about $10-13)I'd wash your extensions the night before to get rid of any hair products etc for the best resultsHere's what to do: 1Put sections of the extensions on aluminum foil and put the bleach on it, then fold up the aluminum2Get a blow dryer and turn on high heat to heat up the foilDo this for about 10-15 minThis helps activate the bleach and it works better/fasterCheck every 5-10 minutes to see how the color looks and when it gets to the color you want, take out the extensions and rinseIt's really easy and simple:) Good luck!
