Tips for coloring extensions
You can color and style your extensions. Please note that the hair has already been lightened. Therefore, it should not be bleached any further.
It's best to color your new hair with a hair dye. This way you can achieve the desired color gently and effectively. Tinting is much gentler than dyeing because tinting contains no ammonia and only natural ingredients. This way you minimize the risk of damaging the hair. The color particles in these products do not penetrate the hair, but rather lie around it like a coat. Tints have a positive electrical charge that is attracted to hair with its negative charge. This effect is even more intense when your hair is wet. That's why you should tone your hair after you wash it. Don't forget that the color will be more intense if the initial color of the hair is light. With tints you should only make the hair two to three shades darker. We do not recommend whitening.
The hair in the Rubin Premium Line still has its natural hair scales. You can dye it like your own hair and match the hair color perfectly.

It's best to keep such treatments to a minimum so that you can enjoy your real hair extensions for a long time.
