How to Dye Cliphair Extensions into Ombre
I have been working on a new look for my hair and my extensions, and after I got my desired result I couldn't wait to share it with you beauties.
The hair I used for this is from Cliphair Ltd and it's remy human hair in the lightest blonde shade.
Their hair can be curled, straightened, washed and even dyed, but I know not many girls are willing to put dye on their extensions, since you can't be sure of how they will react.
The double wefted lightest blonde hair extensions from Cliphair look exactly like in the pictures from their website, the lush, thick hair is super smooth and feels very silky to the touch.
I took this beautiful blonde and turned into a bright red to blonde ombre:
And I even have a picture tutorial of how I achieved this hair, step by step!
You will need:
- plastic covers for the surface you will be working on
- two boxes of hair dye of your color choice
- a comb or a brush
- a recipient to mix your hair dye in
- a paint brush, mine is from Wella
- your hair extensions
Now let's look at the steps that I took:
Steps
Step 1
Place the first weft on your surface, you will work on them one by one. Don't skip combing or brushing through your weft, this will ensure you get all the hair covered.
Step 2
Cover your weft in a good amount of hair dye mix, and go as far as your natural hair would go if you are only doing the ombre on the extensions and not on your hair too.
Step 3
For the rest of your extension's hair length, flip your brush and do strokes that continue from the blunt dye and fade into the ends.
At the end your weft should look like this:
Step 4
All done? Great, now flip the weft on the other side and repeat the process!
Step 5
Wait 40 minutes then wash off the dye with cold water.
I actually dyed my extensions twice that day because the first time I did not measure correctly and I ended up with the red part on them being way shorter than my red hair. Here is my final result:
I am very pleased and surprised that after two consecutive dying sessions, the hair is still shiny and soft!
I also dyed my previous Cliphair extensions and I still have them to this day. I can't guarantee that other brands would work just as well, but if you have Cliphair, you have nothing to worry about.
And as for how they look on myself... it's SHAMELESS SELFIE PICTURE TIME!
And there I was, in the front of my house, taking selfies like the lady that I am ha ha :D
I am very happy with how they turned out, I was going for a "fire" look and I think it got there.
Have you ever dyed your hair extensions at home dolls? How was your experience?

How do you like the Cliphair extensions? What set did you get (grams?)? I have 2 sets of extensions from Tressmatch and love them but want to try another brand sometime.
Maria B says:
March 20 2015
I have the 220 grams set in medium brown and this was an 170 grams set with an 18 inch length in lightest blonde. I am very pleased with Cliphair so far, I'd recommend them for sure. One brand I have had problems with before would be Oscar Hair Extensions (if they did not change their name again), I found plastic and rubber hair strands in my wefts.
But nothing like that happened with Cliphair either times I ordered from them.
TheMakeupCase17 says:
March 20 2015
Good to know. I really want to try Hair Secrets as they're the only company that makes extensions in my color (medium reddish brown) by they're kind of spendy. But I've heard nothing but good things about them.
Maria B says:
March 20 2015
I need to check them out, it's great that they do other colors than just the standards, most girls have a mix of shades in their hair.
TheMakeupCase17 says:
March 20 2015
At least with human hair extensions you can dye them if they don't have your color.
Maria B says:
March 20 2015
Oh yes, I don't even worry about colour matching anymore, as long as they are similar or lighter than my hair.
TheMakeupCase17 says:
March 20 2015
I got light brown to color as I knew if I got blonde it would come out too light. I've learned a lot bout hair color since I've been doing it myself for over 20 years.
Maria B says:
March 20 2015
So since you were 5, right? Still can't believe you are a day older :) great job
TheMakeupCase17 says:
March 20 2015
LOL! I've been dying my hair since 1992 when I was 18.
TheMakeupCase17 says:
March 20 2015
Oh I forgot to add I've dyed both sets of my extensions and they came out great. Just had to use 2 boxes of color as its a lot of hair!
Maria B says:
March 20 2015
Me too, if I were to do a full hair dye I don't think 2 boxes would have been enough. Which is great because it means you get a lot of hair in the wefts 😁
TheMakeupCase17 says:
March 20 2015
My heavier set from Tressmatch is 150g (I also have their 120g set) which is perfect for me as I have baby fine hair. Anything thicker would probably be too much for me.
Maria B says:
March 20 2015
Oh lucky girl! You save money on extensions he he. I know Cliphair also let you design your own set if you want, which is great because you get to choose number of strands and how much it will weigh. My sets are double wefted because I have a bit more hair.
TheMakeupCase17 says:
March 20 2015
There's a local beauty supply store near me that sells all sorts of wigs & extensions. I want to see how much it would cost for them to make me a custom set sometime.
Maria B says:
March 20 2015
That is great, they can probably make custom colour too.
TheMakeupCase17 says:
March 20 2015
Probably. I just need to remember to pop by sometime.
