Can I Color or Dye My Hair Extensions?Updated 8 days ago

Yes — most SL Raw Virgin Hair extensions can be professionally colored because they are made from 100% raw, unprocessed human hair. This gives you the flexibility to customize your shade, whether you're looking to lighten, darken, or add dimension.

However, there are important exceptions and care considerations to be aware of.

What You Can Dye

• Raw Wefts, Closures, Tape-ins, and Wigs made with raw Indian or Vietnamese hair can be colored

• Hair has never been chemically treated, giving professional colorists a clean slate

• Results vary based on undertone and natural pigment (as with real hair)

⚠️ We recommend working with a licensed colorist, especially when bleaching or lightening.

What You Cannot Dye

• Seamless I-Tips and other Remy-based products cannot be colored due to their protective coating

• Any pre-colored extensions (like Jet Black, Medium Brown, Burgundy) should not be lifted or redyed

• Organic Keratin Bonds may not hold color evenly if treated post-install

Attempting to dye non-raw items may lead to damage, matting, or uneven color.

Will Coloring Shorten the Lifespan?

Yes, coloring — especially bleaching — can reduce the longevity of your extensions.
To preserve the quality, we recommend:

• Deep conditioning treatments post-color

• Minimal heat styling

• Using color-safe sulfate-free shampoos

• Letting hair air-dry when possible
