Many people buy blonde hair extensions to dye as they are the perfect blank canvas to work from to create bespoke shades.

    How to tone hair extensions Ash Blonde?

    The easiest and safest way to tone hair extensions into an Ash Blonde shade is to use Purple Shampoo. This is weaker than an actual toner and can easily be diluted to control the strength. As Blonde hair extensions tend to be more porous than your hair we advise using the shampoo in a water bath rather than applying directly to the hair.

    No. You should never attempt to make hair extensions lighter with dye, toners, or lighteners like bleach. This will seriously damage the hair and affect the lifespan.
