You've stalked the best hair extension stylist on Instagram, finally secured a hair appointment with her and bought the perfect hair extensions. You bought Virgin Indian Hair and it’s the perfect length, style and texture -- it’s too bad the shade just isn't quite right. The trick with Virgin Indian hair is that because it has never been colored the color can range from a natural black to a soft dark brown and you just might be an natural off black.
Sunny’s Girl Tip: We read the order notes so if you want darker or lighter bundles please tell us!
If you've ever been frustrated when trying to color-match Virgin hair extensions to your real hair, don't give up or settle on what's "good enough." Instead, take a tip from the pros and dye the extensions yourself -- that's their secret weapon to achieve the perfect blend and match to their client’s hair. Most virgin Indian hair extensionshave never been colored, so your color choice should balance dimension and coverage to blend in with your own hair. Here are some great out-of-the-box solutions for depositing color on extensions:
