Vibrant Vibes: Top Hair Color Products for Hair Extensions

Who doesn't love experimenting with hair color?

I love coloring my hair extensions because it gives me the opportunity to try different colors without damaging my natural hair or committing to one color. 🙏🏿

After multiple hair colors and DIY hair successes and failures, I have accumulated some of my favorite color lines to create beautiful hues and tones in your extensions, as well as the best products to maintain hair color.

Best Bleach and Color for Blonde

If you're anything like me, you love blonde for any season!

Blonde hair is such a versatile color that it can be customized to compliment any skin tone.

Here are some of my favorite bleach lighteners and toners to create beautiful beach-ready blondes.

Bleach/Lighteners

Wella Color-Charm Powder Lightener

I love the Wella Color-Charm powder lightener because it can achieve up to 7 levels of lift, and the protecting oil system is gentle on the hair and prevents damage.

This lightener is perfect for balayage, highlights, ombre, and even full-on blonde.

Use this lightener with Wella Developer to achieve optimal results.

L'Oreal Quick Blue Lightener

L'Oreal Quick Blue Lightener is also a great powder bleach for extensions.

This one is a little dustier than Wella, but it gets the job done. This lightener delivers faster and brighter superior lightening power and lifts up to seven levels.

This lightener is also great for balayage, foil highlights, ombre, or full-blonde colors. You can achieve subtle highlights or sheer platinum with this lightener.

Get a subtle Raw Blonde Balayage Wavy Wig if you like this effect.

Ion Powder Lightener

Ion Powder Lightener provides optimum conditioning and moisturizing during decolorizing.

The creamy consistency stays moist during the lightening process.

This powder lightener is infused with gardenia pol and coconut oil, making it gentle on the hair. This lightener is great for balayage, foil highlights, ombre, or full-blonde colors.

Toners

Wella Color-Charm Permanent Liquid Toner

This is by far the easiest and most effective toner I've used on my hair extensions.

These toning colors by Wella will help you achieve the most beautiful beige, ash, and warm-tone blondes you have ever seen.

Mix these toners with Wella Color-Charm 20vol Developer for optimal results.

Mydentity Demi-Permanent X-PRESS Toners

Master colorist Guy Tang's Mydentity X-Press toners create impeccable blush, mauve, pearl, titanium, and golden tones in blonde hair.

Best Hair Color For Dark Shades

If you love deep chocolate brown hair or sexy jet black hair, I've got you covered.

These are my favorite color lines for dark hair shades:

Wella Color-Charm

Wella Color Charm Permanent Color is a fantastic solution for creating rich dark tones in your extensions.

Use 1N to create a sexy jet black, or use 5N to create a warm chocolate brown!

Wella Color Charm even offers dark colors with hues of red for a spicy color.

Clairol Professional Beautiful Collection

Clairol Professional Beautiful Collection is a semi-permanent color line that provides moisturizing color benefits.

This semi-permanent color conditions the hair and provides rich brown tones to already dark hair.

This will revitalize your extensions and make them look healthy and beautiful.

Best Shampoos for Blondes

Although blondes have more fun, bleached blonde hair requires at-home maintenance for beautiful color in between trips to the salon.

Often, dark hair lifts to a brassy orange color, and your stylist will tone the unwanted orange out with blue hues, but unfortunately, even this fades after a while, leaving your hair dull and brassy.

So your blonde hair doesn't change colors, invest in these shampoos infused with purple toners to neutralize the hair's brassy hues.

L'Oreal Paris Ever Pure Sulfate-Free Blonde Shampoo

If you're on a tight budget, L'Oreal has got you covered!

Maintain your platinum blonde on a budget with L'Oreal's lightly tinted wash that effectively cleanses while depositing the perfect amount of purple pigment.

With a pleasing scent, you can close your eyes and pretend you're at the spa as you correct your color.

Pravana: The Perfect Blonde Toning Set

Regular bleaching can cause severe damage to your hair.

If your tresses seem stressed from all the chemicals used to get you blonde, you may need Pravana to save the day.

This miracle set comes with The Perfect Blonde Shampoo, conditioner, mask, and leave-in conditioning spray that will help you tone and tame your blonde hair from root to tip.

Joico Color Balance Blue Shampoo

Joico offers a purple shampoo that is both beneficial to the health of your strands and visually pleasing statement in the shower.

The violet pigment formula enhances tones immediately after a color or highlighting service. It smells great, so staying consistent with your color isn't hard.

TIGI Bedhead Dumb Blonde Purple Toning Shampoo

This as-needed purple shampoo helps keep you looking blonde for longer. 

TIGI refuses to let the brassy yellow take over your hair color. If you have a sew-in, use this shampoo in the shower and rinse out after 10 minutes.

If you have a closure wig, use this shampoo in the tub and rinse out after 10 minutes.

Oribe Bright Blonde Shampoo

This paraben, sulfate, and sodium chloride-free purple shampoo eradicates brassiness and yellow tones from your extensions.
