Dyeing Hair Extensions

I recently dyed my hair 'Dark Chocolate' and then realised I couldn't wear my lovely extensions anymore because they were a completely different colour :( Oh No!!! :/

Because I want to re-dye my hair this colour (LOreal Casting Creme Gloss in Dark Chocolate) again in November for my Formal, I decided that it would be a great idea to dye my extensions as well.

How I did it:

*  Brush through your extensions thoroughly.

*  Prepare hair dye according to instructions (see previous post on dyeing my hair).

*  Layout a large garbage bag and cover with a couple of sheets of aluminium foil.

*  Apply treatment to each extension, making sure to cover all of the hair.

*  Lay out extensions on the aluminium foil sheets and once they are all done, fold the foil over the extensions covering all the hair, fold up the ends of the aluminium package to lock in the heat.

*  Leave the extensions to cure for the allotted time according to the instructions on the hair dye.

*  Rinse with warm water until water runs clear.

*  Apply conditioning treatment and leave on, I actually left the conditioner on for about half an hour (more than recommended) because hair extensions do need more conditioning than normal hair.

*  Rinse out with warm water again and allow to dry.

I was really happy with how my extensions turned out, they still look very natural and are a much better match to my own hair now and as you can see from this photo (I only place one lot of extensions in here just to show you) it's hard to tell the difference in the colours! :)

Some new things in my life ...

Life has been treating me pretty good lately, as some of you may know I was featured in an article in the australian teen magazine 'Dolly' (June edition) which is out now. I feel so privileged to be there alongside Juicystar07 from USA and FleurdeForce from the UK.  Dolly has been my fav magazine forever and to actually be in it is like a dream come true, hang on a sec while I just scream .... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

The fabulous staff at Dolly are sending me a framed copy of the article so when I get that I'll post a picture of it here for you all to see, then it goes straight up on my wall!!!! he he Oh and as a bonus, the June issue of Dolly comes with a Napoleon Perdis (NP) set which is both a mini mascara and a lipgloss pallet, what a great gift and that's not all, you also get a $5.00 of Target Voucher if you purchase NP products.

I've also received the wonderful 'Premium Brush Kit' from Sigma, yep more brushes :D, it's huge with 15 brushes (all unique from the standard 12 brush kit) in a faux leather brush roll, I'll be trying these out for a few weeks before doing a review and GIVEAWAY for you all on my YouTube Channel.  Sooooo many brushes, I don't know how I managed without them for the past couple of years ..... hahahaha yes I do, but it's nice to have quality brushes now and I can't wait to give a set away to a lucky subscriber :)

Another surprise was on Friday, I received a lipstick I knew was being sent from 'Makeupnet' from the new 'Limecrime' range, it's called 'Coquette' and it's their Limited Edition opaque nude colour and to my delight and surprise there were other goodies enclosed in the parcel from their 'Medusa' range!!  So they sent me two mascaras in blue and purple (there are 4 in the range including green and black), a black eyeliner pencil, the most GORGEOUS pearlised Eye Dust called 'Studio 54' and two eyeshadows in 'Electro Purple' and 'Electro Black', this range is really affordable and funky and all the products in their store are Animal Cruelty Free and it's an Australian site so shipping is quick.


Thankyou makeupnet :)
