Can You Dye Hair Extensions?

You might find that you want to change the color of your ZALAs if you have recently dyed your hair or if we don't offer the shade that you want. Most customers can dye their hair extensions without issue. As this is considered a drastic modification, it will void your warranty/return.

Here Are Some Helpful Tips to Achieve the Best Results When Dyeing or Toning Your Zalas:

When learning how to dye hair extensions at home, following these tips can ensure your extensions remain vibrant and healthy.

Always Test on a Small Section
To ensure you're happy with the results, test on a small section first. This helps you gauge how the dye reacts with the extensions and avoids any surprises.
Seek the Help of a Hairdresser
If you aren't confident with toning or dyeing your extensions, seek professional help. A hairdresser can ensure the color is applied evenly and safely.
Use Conditioning Treatment
To keep hair soft and silky after toning/ dyeing, use a deep conditioning treatment. This helps restore moisture and maintain the health of your extensions.

Never Bleach or Lighten Your Zala Hair
Only dye or tone to prevent damaging hair. Bleaching can cause significant damage, leading to dryness, breakage, and a reduced lifespan of your extensions.
Do Not Tone Keratin Hair
You may however dye it darker. Lightening or toning can damage the keratin bonds, but applying a darker color is generally safe.
Avoid Tape Tabs and Seamless Band
Tape tabs and seamless bands cannot be colored. The dye won't adhere properly and can affect the adhesive, leading to issues with attachment.

All hair extensions & dyes are different. You cannot guarantee your product will produce the same results from brand to brand. We do not cover any costs nor take any responsibility for any issues you may encounter during or after the dyeing/toning process as we cannot be sure how your specific product reacts or the method in which it was applied. Always test your dye/toner on one small piece of hair first to ensure it gives you the results you want.

Dyeing/toning is considered drastic modification of the product as these products contain quite harsh chemicals that may affect the feel, condition & lifespan of your set. It may increase the chance of dryness, shedding, tangling & breakage. Our hair goes through a long dyeing and bleaching process to get it to our fabulous shades. Like most human hair extensions, please do not attempt to bleach or lighten your ZALA hair as they may become damaged.

Keep in mind that some extensions have band at the top which will not take to dye. For example, if you buy blonde tapes and dye them brown, the top 1cm (about 0.39 in) band will still be blonde.

Can You Dye Clip On Hair Extensions?

Yes, you can dye clip on hair extensions, but it requires special care. Clip on hair extensions can be dyed using the same methods as other types of hair extensions. However, it's essential to avoid dyeing the clips themselves as this can affect their ability to grip your natural hair securely. Always test the dye on a small section first to ensure you achieve the desired color. If you're not confident about how to dye hair extensions at home, consider seeking professional help to prevent any potential damage to your clip on extensions.
