Customer: “Can we dye the hair?”
Answer:
If the hair is our Russian virgin hair extensions then it is possible to bleach, highlight and dye the hair, but you run the risk of drying out the hair. Remember this is cut hair which begins losing its moisture rapidly. It reacts differently than scalp hair so usual recipes may give different results.
If the hair is our custom European hair extensions or our Indian Remy hair extensions then it is only possible to dye to a darker color. Most likely we have already bleached and/or dyed the hair. We use permanent fiber dyes that cannot be easily removed and stains the hair in such a way that makes removal and fading very difficult. If you try to highlight or bleach the resulting color will be stained and uneven. Unless the hair is a “bleach” color. Our color ring contains 7 bleach colors that we do not dye so the hair can be highlighted, bleached and/or dyed.
