With quality hair extensions becoming ever more accessible, experienced hairdressers can now create custom colour blends to suit your desired look. And we’re not just talking about natural looking colours any more.

Darren Scott, at Darren Scott Salon, says, ‘Celebrities such as Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande and The Kardashians constantly switch up their hair colour with hair extensions, one day they have blonde highlights or caramel lo-lights and the next, rainbow bright hair. Hair extensions give you such a multitude of colour options. Whether it’s something natural or bold, there is an extension to match it.’

The advantage of colouring extensions or using pre-coloured extensions is not only the limitless styling possibilities it facilitates, it also stops your own hair being irreversibly damaged from hair colouring.

Extensions come in various lengths, colours and textures and will vary from real human hair or synthetic hair. To experiment at home you can even buy clip-ins, clip on buns, fringes and wrap around pony-tails.

For more permanent extensions, it is important to get them done professionally. Poorly installed extensions can cause traction alopecia or bald spots and, if placed too close to the hairline or parting, the attachment will be in full view.
