For blondes, our lightest shades at ZALA are our Beachy Blonde #613 and Ice Queen Platinum Blonde #60. If your hair is white blonde, go with our lightest #60 keeping in mind this shade is quite ash-toned as is :) If your hair has a little more depth, our Beachy Blonde #613 will be perfect for toning.

You will need:

• 100% Human Remy Hair Extensions. To demonstrate, we are using 20 pieces of ZALA tape hair extensions in Beachy Blonde #613. You can see from the before shot, this shade is very warm toned.
• Purple/violet toning shampoo. For the purpose of this guide, we are using the Fudge Clean Blonde violet toning shampoo. However, any good quality purple or silver shampoo will work a treat as a light form of toning!
• Towel
• ZALA Tangle Teaser to remove any knots/tangles
• Hair straighteners
• Rubber band/elastic (for toning tape hair extensions). To ensure you leave approx a 1cm gap between the adhesive tabs and the hair that product is being applied to. This is important so that the adhesive is not affected or disrupted for application

HOW TO TONE TAPE HAIR EXTENSIONS

1. Fill your sink with warm water
2. Ensuring the adhesive tabs remain completely dry, submerge the rest of the hair into the water so that the hair is damp prior to toning. 
3. Add a squeeze of your purple shampoo to the water and swish around until completely dissolved. 
4. Once the water is a deep purple colour, dip the hair into the water. We are working with 10 pieces at a time. Massage the product/shampoo throughout the piece to ensure all the hair is toned. Make sure you work quickly to avoid overtoning the hair - this should only take you approx 20 seconds!
5. Once the hair appears to be the colour you desired, set aside on your towel and repeat process on all pieces. Leave aside for 3-5 minutes.
6. Starting with the piece you toned first, rinse the hair thoroughly.
7. Coat each piece with a high moisturizing conditioner and leave for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. It's important to leave the conditioner so that the hair is deeply conditioned and retains it's original soft & silky feel.
8. After rinsing, set pieces aside on your towel and leave to air dry naturally. 
9. Once completely dry, brush through each piece to remove any knots and tangles.
10. Give your tape hair extensions a little TLC and smooth over with a hair straighteners. Remember to always use heat protectant!
