It can be quite a task to find the perfect shade of clip-in hair extensions that matches your own blonde hair exactly. Do you have cool-toned hair, while your extensions are a little too warm or have a yellow tint? Don’t worry. You can make our blonde 100% Indian human hair extensions just as cool-toned as your own hair colour. In this blog, we’ll show you step by step how to tone them simply and quickly using silver shampoo.
From warm to cool. Toning is easy with silver shampoo, but you do need to know how. We’ll show you step by step how to give your blonde hair extensions that beautiful ash-blonde colour.
First, comb through your extensions thoroughly to prevent tangles and gather your supplies by the sink: a brush or comb, a towel, silver shampoo, and conditioner or a cream rinse. In this blog, we’re using L’Oréal Expert from the salon. Further down in this blog, you’ll also read about the difference between a No Yellow and a No Orange line.
1. Make a silver shampoo bath
Fill your sink with lukewarm water, add a strand of silver shampoo, and mix it thoroughly so that no clumps remain floating in the purple-blue bath.
2. Let’s tone, blonde girl
Now the real work begins. Take one section of extensions and quickly and carefully pass it through the bath a few times. You’ll immediately see them change colour and become lighter. Assess this carefully before toning the entire set of extensions.
Not sure if it’s as ashy as you’d like? It’s better to let the extensions dry first and then assess the result. It’s much easier to make them a little cooler than the other way around. Unless you’re going for the Smurfette look 😉
Please note
Do not leave your extensions soaking in the silver shampoo bath for too long. They can turn grey or blue. It’s better to leave them in for too short a time than too long. Not sure? Dry them first to see the result clearly.
If you have a very light colour set, such as Melted Blonde, Silver Grey, Rooted Misty Morning, Pearl Blonde, or Light Blonde, pay extra close attention. These colours can quickly turn blue.
For these colours, it’s better to use hot water instead of lukewarm water and make sure all the shampoo is completely dissolved. Otherwise, patches and unevenness may develop in the set.
- Happy with the result? Continue with the next section and keep the same pace.
- Want to see the exact difference before and after toning? Leave one section untreated.
3. Rinse and wring out
Once the extensions have been toned enough, rinse them with cold water so that all the shampoo is thoroughly washed out. Gently wring out the set and set it aside for a moment. This way, you can tone all the extensions one by one. Try not to get them mixed up.
4. Apply conditioner and rinse
All sections toned? Use a nourishing conditioner and leave it in for a moment. Then rinse thoroughly again with cold water.
5. Air dry
Lay the extensions flat on a towel. To prevent frizz or damage, it’s best not to blow-dry or style them. All you need now is a little patience. After a few hours of drying, you’ll have beautiful ash-blonde locks. Cool, right?
