HAIR EXTENSION DISCOLORATION & FADE

Have you noticed your hair extensions change colour / fade after a few months of wearing them? Then carry on reading for tips how to avoid this happening, and what to do when it does.

HOW TO PREVENT DISCOLORATION

1. When in the sun use UV protectant sprays on your hair.
2. Avoid prolonged sun exposure.
3. Always use a sulfate-free & paraban free shampoo that is gentle on the hair.
4. Always use a heat protection spray on your hair & hair extensions when using heated tools.
5. Reduce the temperature of the water to wash your hair as hot water opens the cuticle of the hair & the hot water can cause colour to fade a lot faster.

DISCOLORATION

  • CAUSES OF DISCOLORATION

    Hair extensions can become discolored due to various factors, including exposure to sunlight, heat from styling tools, sun creams and certain hair care products. Additionally, improper washing and maintenance can lead to fading / discolouration.

  • CAUSES OF COLOUR FADING

    It's essential to understand that colour fading is a natural process that will occur, just like it does with your own natural or coloured hair. Typically, colour fade happens gradually due to everyday wear and tear from washing and using styling products. However, issues can arise when the colour fades more rapidly than expected, often caused by washing your hair in hot water, exposure to certain ingredients or UV rays.

  • HOW TO RESTORE COLOUR FADED EXTENSIONS

    You can use colour-depositing conditioners to help restore colour into your extensions following professional advice before purchasing. If you decide to dye or tone your hair extensions you must consult a professional before considering any colour service, this is entirely your responsibility.
    It is important to remember that these extensions have already been treated chemically and may not return to colour you purchased after dyeing.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

1. Your hair extensions will love regular hydrating conditioning treatments.
2. Avoid excessive heat to prolong their lifespan and keep them looking vibrant.
3. Regular salon visits for refittings and the maintenance for your hair extensions.
