Thinking Of Colouring Your Halo Hair Extensions? Watch This Video First!

Everyone welcome back to our channel if you're new here welcome to the sitting pretty family and hit the subscribe and bell notification. If you want to see more of our content, i'm going to be talking about how you can color your halo at home. Now coloring, your halo at home, i feel, can be a little bit risky, but if you really want to do it, then i will tell you a few things that you can keep in mind to do it. I do recommend taking it to a hairdresser just because they have really high quality colors most of the time and they know a lot about coloring, and sometimes they will know a lot about coloring, hair extensions too. So the first thing that you need to know is that hair extensions are very different to the hair on our head. They have gone through so much processing that uh. You know to get them to the color that they are and because they're not attached to any nutrients anymore. They go through a lot of chemical processes that um allow the hair to be the way that it is when you buy it as a hair extension. So what tends to happen is the hair itself is actually quite porous. So as soon as you apply color to the halo, it sucks it up really quickly and you end up with uh that color kind of staining the hair. So it's really important that when you're going to be coloring it that you actually wet your halo first, like really wet it with a lot of water, so that it's soaking wet, squeeze the water out. And then the key is to apply the color as quickly as possible and as evenly as possible, so that the halo gets colored evenly. Now that can sound a bit daunting because it's like okay, i've got to like you've, got a time limit and it's a bit of a rush, but don't stress out too much it'll be fine. I have done it before it works, but you do run the risk of a patchy result anyway, because hair extensions are a little bit difficult to color. Just because of what i said, they've been through so much processing and every hair is different. So the hair - that's on this halo, will be different to the hair. That'S on this halo, just because it's different hair, it's like a natural resource, so it's not going to be the same every single time, and so each halo can color differently in that sense. So that's just the way it is. Unfortunately, we can't change that. It'S just the nature of hair and the nature of this product, but if you really do want to color it um, there are ways of doing it and it can work. The second thing to keep in mind is that you really can't be coloring, something that's this light to say the color that i have in my hair or darker, it's too extreme, and it's going to come out patchy. So the best thing to do is to buy a halo color. If you know that you need to color it by the color closest to the color that you want to be and that you want to color. And then, if you apply the color, it's sort of there's not as much of a contrast and there's not as much of a processing. That'S gone through the halo underneath when you put the color on so it should work a lot better and just come out a lot smoother. So that's more talking about using actual color and i would 100 recommend stay away from packet. Colors like from the supermarket. Try not to use that on the halo. You can always buy like the color and peroxide and mix them together. That'S going to be a higher quality color than a pack of color from a supermarket. So that's just my advice there. So, if you're not needing to use like deep, dark colors on your halo, then another thing that is really simple and easy to do is uh toning, your halo and there are a couple ways that you can turn your halo. So there's toning with toning products like from the salon and you can buy your own toners and mix them and apply them again. They should be wet and you need to really watch the color, because, if you're putting like an ash color onto the halo - and you leave it on for too long because the halo is very porous like i said it does actually start developing really really quickly. So you could end up turning your halo like silver or something if you leave it on, if you walk away from it and leave it on too long. So that's something to consider like be really careful. Watch when you're coloring any hair extensions. You need to be watching and stay with it because it does develop very quickly and the other tip that i would recommend is using like if you're wanting to ash up a blonde say like this color here and you don't want, you want to get rid of The gold - that's in it, you can actually use vanilla, blue shampoo, but you don't apply vanilla, blue shampoo, directly to the hair. You apply it in some water, like a tub of water mix it around and you dunk the actual halo into the water, and you keep watching it change and become ashy out, as the halo keeps getting dipped in the water and it's a gentle way of toning. It comes out super even super balanced and you don't have any patches. The other thing you can do is use a blue shampoo and if i can recommend any blue shampoo, the best one we've ever used on our halos is the evo blue, shampoo, big fan of evo products. As you might have heard, i talk about their heat protector. A lot too but um they yeah their blue shampoo, is amazing. If you're, just wanting to use a direct blue shampoo on the halo, so yeah coloring can be really sensitive with any hair extension like i said, i would always opt you to go to a hairdresser because they are so good at what they do and they know What they're doing, but if you really don't want to, then they they are. The tips that i have for coloring. Your halo at home definitely wet your halo. First use a color that isn't so drastically different from your hair extension watch, the color as you're, applying it and staying there with it, so that you know when to rinse it and you use blue shampoos in water like vanilla or evo's blue shampoo. If you're wanting to tone your halo directly, so i hope this video was helpful if you're thinking about coloring your halo at home.
