These two hair types could be styled in an uptight but firm bun, half side up, made into a French braid, pig tail braiding or even all round twist. These two hair types are the most common for the work environment.

You could use a body wave hair or a Peruvian island curl, to achieve a classy and pretty hair to your wedding or as a wedding guest.

The hair comes in three bundles, making it possible for you to either reduce or increase the hair extension. Bundles are available in Virgin Remy Natural Straight hair, Virgin Remy Island Curl, Yaki Straight hair and Virgin Remy Body wave. These awesome bundles come with a matching closure and can also be made into a wig. Each bundle weighs about 3.5 ounces, and is usually light, except of course you want a full hair which would require about four bundles.

Other hairstyles that are suitable for multiple occasions and are easy to make include beach waves, that is majorly giving your straight hair and body wave hair some more lose curls, short or long bob, mid length curl, half side perm, and many more.

It is to be noted however, that you can style your hair according to your preferred choice, and these are only suggestions. When styling, take note of the sew-in lines of the hair extension, the lace closure or frontal that you have added too, in order to avoid the glue lines showing underneath the hair. For example, if you have a center part sew-in on, do not attempt to pack a ponytail, as it would not come out very nice. Remember that life isn’t perfect, but your hair can sure be.

There are leave-in conditioners for Peruvian curls, body wave and natural straight hair and they have their exclusive use and should be sprayed about 3cm away from the hair. Get an appropriate conditioner, depending on the weave type, and apply it to the hair. Avoid using too much products on the hair, to prevent the hair from shining and glossy like synthetic hair.

The solution is not to set them aside, but rather modify them to suite your needs. A simple routine with a dye will give you the results your need.

To avoid damaging hair extensions or getting the wrong results, it is important to use the right methods and hairs. Virgin hairs are the best types of weaves for dyeing. They lack extreme chemical processes; hence they can be dyed without causing damage to the hair. Here is a complete guide on how to dye hair extensions.

Gather your supplies and create a workspace

You will need a few tools to be properly equipped for the DIY. The supplies should include an application brush, bowl for mixing, gloves to protect your hands, shampoo, and conditioner to wash afterward. Choose a workspace that is exposed to good ventilation. Also, ensure that the workspace gives you flexibility to work on the hair extensions.

Choose a color

Choosing a color to dye clip in hair extensions is not set in stone. Yes, you should start by selecting the color you want but at the same time, there are other factors to consider. Ensure that the dye is from a developer line or professional hair color. The ideal developer is a 10 or 20-volume developer. Higher volumes can damage virgin hairs and leave you regretting your actions.

Prepare the dye

Preparing the dye is always as easy as following the manufacturer’s instructions. Mix the dye with appropriate parts of color and developer. Set aside a least 5 ounces of the mixture for the dyeing proceess.

Apply the dye

The application is done in gentle strokes using a brush. Place the hair extensions on a roll of foil or suitable material to avoid staining the workspace. Gloves are necessary to protect your hands and skin from any effects of the dye. Some dyes are prcessed with chemicals that may be unfriendly to sensitive skin. Start the application of the dye from the tips of the hair extension which is close to the clips. Work your way downwards each time. It is important to note that working in the opposite direction could defeat the process and damage the hair.

Process

The processing part allows the color to seep into the hair extensions and change them. After applying the dye on the hair, cover them in plastic wraps or films. This prevents the color from drying out without making the needed modifications. This step should take about 30-40 minutes during which time you can check the hair extensions. Use a dry towel to rub off the color on the tip of the hair. If the dye has changed the appearance of the hair it would be evident. If not, re-apply the color on that section and cover backup.

Rinse and dry

After the steps above are complete, rinse off excess dye with warm water. You can use moisturing, color-safe shampoo to wash the extensions and rinse thoroughly. Place the extensions on a clean, absorbent towel, apply a suitable conditioner, comb out and leave to dry.

Achieving darker shades

Clip in hair extensions can be dyed a few shades darker. To achieve a darker shade of your hair extensions, simply buy an appropriate lightly colored virgin hair. Use the procedure above to apply a suitable dye on the extensions. Rinse and dry carefully to retain your results.

Follow the normal procedure to process the dye with the hair extensions. When it gets to the rinsing steps, first apply a leave-in conditioner on the tips of the hair that were not dyed. The leave-in conditioner protects these wefts and prevents the dye from running down and sticking to the non-dyed parts during a rinse. Comb and dry accordingly.

Lighter shades

If you want to dye your hair extensions in a lighter shade of their original color, you simply can’t. It is impossible to distort the original structure and form of the weave to something lighter. Is is advisable you buy the light shade you need or opt for toning the current color.
