    The Punk Rock era starting in 1975 inspired many to push the boundaries of style, this turning point in fashion eventually led us to the more open minded, experimental society that we know and love today! Now more than ever we search for bold, unique ways to express ourselves and stand out from the crowd. At Cliphair we have 7 funky colored hair extensions to do just that, including Blues, Pinks, Reds, Purples and even more in multiple hair extension styles. Read todays blog for a full tour of these shades and how to make your own bespoke coloured hair extensions at home.

    1. Silver Hair Extensions

    The Grey and Silver hair trend burst back onto the social scene around 2017 and has held its popularity ever since. Our Silver or Grey hair extensions are a pure ash, cool, light silver shade that can be used to match silver hair or added to other colors for a funky ombre effect. We find they work particularly well with black hair for a steely galactic look! You can find our Silver Extensions in many of our hair extensions including Full Head Clip-Ins, Tape-Ins and Hair Wefts. We also have a Ombre that uses our #Silver/Grey shade called #T1B/SG that is a root of black melting into Silver.

    7. How to get Rainbow Hair at home?

    Rainbow Hair

    The Rainbow hair trend is still as popular as ever, it’s also surprisingly easy to achieve as long as you use the right products! As all of our hair extensions are made from 100% Remy, Human hair they are safe to dye with semi-permanent colour if you wish to make your own colour creation! Bear in mind, any chemical service applied to hair extensions will affect the quality just like with your own hair. If you plan to dye your extensions we advise regularly treating them with a deep conditioning mask to retain the moisture in the hair.

    Blonde Hair Extension

    Step 1 – To achieve bright, funky or pastel shades on the hair you will need a very light base to work on. We advise using our shade #60 LIGHTEST BLONDE as this is a super light, clean blonde and will provide the exact amount of lift needed to achieve any vibrant colour. Never attempt to bleach or lighten your extensions, this could ruin them and seriously effect the quality.

    Crazy Colour

    Step 2 - To achieve multiple colours on the hair you will need to purchase a few different semi dyes. At Cliphair we recommend using “Crazy Colour” which is a trusted, semi-permanent hair dye brand that specialise in colourful hair colours. Its super simple to use and ready straight from the bottle, no need for any mixing or measuring!

    Dying Hair Extension

    Step 3 – Once you have your selection of colours, simply separate your hair extensions into the chosen width of sections you would like. Using gloves, apply the dye directly onto the hair making sure to completely saturate every piece to avoid any patchiness. If using multiple colours, you can use a divider like hair foil or cling film to prevent the colours mixing with each other.

    Step 4 – Now leave the dye on the hair for the advised time on the product instructions, usually this is between 20-40 minutes. As mentioned earlier, any dying service even something as gentle as a Semi will still have an effect on hair extensions as they are not attached to the natural root. Please make sure to condition well after colouring to return natural oils to the hair, this will help to keep your extensions healthy and hydrated.

    8. Crazy Colour Hair Dye

    “Crazy Colour” as recommended in the step by step will lose its vibrancy with each wash, normally fading completely off the hair within 10-12 washes. There are many different shades you can experiment with including pastel hair colours and neon hues. To find out how to stop your colour fading check out our blog.
