Want to experiment with fresh hair extension looks? The extremely popular hairstyle of ombre, which offers a lovely blend of dark-to-light tones, is ideal for creating a warm, two-toned appearance. The good news? Premium-grade Remy human hair used in clip-in hair extensions and clip-in ponytails can be dyed, washed, and styled just like your natural hair.

We've written a straightforward guide demonstrating how to ombre at-home hair extensions for a professional-looking result.

The Tools You’ll Need

• Hair Extensions

• A home-dye kit (color of your choice)

• a bowl for mixing

• a medium tint brush;

• A pair of gloves

• Comb

Apply Dye to the Top Section of Your Extensions

Read the color instructions attentively and combine the ingredients as directed to achieve ombre hair extensions at home in the first stage. When your solution is ready, squeeze it across the top half of your hair extensions, stopping just before the middle of the hair. You can pour all of the dye into your mixing bowl to make it simpler to reach with the brush after you've dispersed it evenly throughout the top portion.

Brush the Dye Down Your Extensions

Next, dip your tint brush into your dye and begin to brush it down the length of your hair extensions, pausing again in the middle (be sure to put on your gloves first to avoid discolored hands!). To ensure that the dye is thoroughly brushed into the extensions, gently press the brush into the hair. To obtain an even finish, you'll need to repeat the brushing procedure a few times to ensure the dye is thoroughly incorporated. Don't worry about a straight line; that step is coming next.

Feather Out the Dye

To avoid a dreadful straight line and guarantee a perfectly blended result, feather out the dye after it has been uniformly applied to the top of your hair extensions. Simply lightly flick the brush downward in vertical strokes towards the base of the hair a few times to do this and blend out the line. Once you're done, comb your hair extensions from top to bottom throughout their entire length. Simply pick up an additional product with your brush and repeat the process if you need to add extra dye to the top.

Repeat on the Other Side

Simply flip your ombre hair extensions over and begin on the opposite side after you've done one side. Given that some dye will have soaked through from the initial side, you might not need to apply as much. Once again, brush it with your comb to complete the feathering procedure.

Condition the Ends

Once you're done dyeing, use conditioner to smooth over the ends of your hair extensions to help stop the color from dripping there when you wash it out.

Leave to Develop

All that's left to do is wait for your ombre hair extensions to grow! Always refer to your dye's instructions to ensure you follow the timeframes correctly because they can vary between brands.

Wash the Dye Out

It's time to gently wash the hair color out of your extensions with warm water, shampoo, and conditioner when it has fully grown. Leave your hair extensions to dry naturally once all the dye has been washed out of the hair, and the water is clear.

And voila! You ought to have stunning ombre hair extensions and a completely new appearance. The best way to wear ombre hair extensions is in beachy waves, but they also look wonderful straight.
