Colouring Hair Extensions
When colouring hair extensions the first and most important consideration is whether you have human hair or synthetic hair.
Colouring synthetic hair (as well as using heat on this type of hair) simply won’t work.
If you have human hair, it is possible to colour your hair if necessary. Please note: Your best option is to avoid colouring by matching the hair extensions to your natural colour or as close as possible. However, this is not always possible. When choosing a colour from your extension supplier, try to choose a lighter shade and then colour the extensions darker. This is less damaging to the hair than lightening the hair extensions.

Hair Extensions – Getting The Ultimate Curl
Before you consider styling your hair extensions, it is important you make sure you have human hair extensions and not synthetic hair! Synthetic hair will just melt for frizzle from the heat.
Even if you have added curly hair extensions to your hair, the chances are you’ll still have to style them after a few weeks. The reason for this is that most hair extensions are naturally straight hair which have been processed to be curly/wavy. But getting the curl back in your hair is really quite easy.
