Have you ever bought a high-quality human hair extension with great anticipation, only to find that the color simply wouldn’t adhere during the dyeing process? This isn’t an isolated incident, nor is it due to your own mistake, nor does it mean that the product you received wasn’t 100% human hair.
In fact, this is precisely a small challenge brought about by the ‘deep protection’ process that top-quality human hair undergoes before leaving the factory. Don’t worry, you’re just one step away from your ideal hair color. This article will reveal the mystery and provide a clear and effective ‘three-step solution’ to help you easily overcome dyeing problems and achieve your desired hair extension color.
Why Does Your “Human Hair” Resist
The Culprit: Industrial “Protective Layer”
Acid Treatment: To achieve uniform color and texture, hair strands are treated with acid, causing excessive closure of the hair cuticles.
Silicone Coating: To achieve perfect shine, the hair surface is tightly coated with silicone oil, like wearing a “raincoat.”
In simple terms
It’s not that the hair is “damaged,” but rather that it’s been “too well protected,” preventing the dye from penetrating.
Three-Step Solution to Activate the “Coloring Power” of Hair Extensions
2. Use lukewarm water (not hot water) to repeatedly and carefully rub and wash the hair extensions.
3. When you feel the hair change from “smooth” to slightly “rough,” congratulations, the protective layer has been successfully removed!
This step requires advanced technique and specific products; it is strongly recommended to perform it under the guidance of a professional hairstylist.
2. Allow 50% longer waiting time than when coloring your own hair to give the dye sufficient time to penetrate.
3. After applying evenly, wrap with a shower cap or use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently heat from a distance. The heat effectively helps open the hair cuticles.
