Hair extensions offer a fantastic way to change your look instantly, without waiting for your hair to grow. Bohyme hair extensions are made of Remy hair, which is a big advantage.
Remy hair is completely natural and has not been treated with any chemicals. You can achieve any style you want by having these extensions custom-colored.
If you’re considering getting custom-colored hair extensions, here are some simple care tips to keep them looking great:

1. Gentle Washing
Keeping your natural hair moisturized is important, and this is especially true for custom-colored hair extensions. These extensions tend to dry out more easily since they don’t get natural oils and moisture from the scalp. After coloring your hair, it becomes even more vital to keep it hydrated because the coloring process makes the hair more porous, making it harder for the hair to hold onto moisture.
You need to wash and condition your hair more thoroughly. Deep condition your extensions weekly by following these steps:
- Section the Hair: Ensure every strand is treated.
- Apply Deep Conditioner: Use a high-quality product and rinse it out gently.
- Add More Conditioner: Comb through the extensions with a wide-toothed comb.
- Leave Conditioner On: Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, ideally with a shower cap.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse out the conditioner, then pat or blow-dry your hair.
- Focus on Ends: Apply a leave-in conditioner, concentrating on the ends.
2. Avoid heat
Just like hot water can cause color to fade faster, using heat to style your hair can make it dry out more quickly. Heatless styling is highly recommended.
If you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant or plasma to safeguard your hair. This can help retain moisture and prevent burning.
Whenever possible, let your hair air dry before using heat to style it. This reduces the overall heat exposure and helps maintain the health of your hair.
3. Using cool water for custom-color hair
Washing your hair with cool water is better for several reasons, including preserving the color. Cool water helps the color last longer compared to warm or hot water.
So, to maintain your hair color, avoid using hot water when washing and rinsing your hair.
4. Needed shampoo
Unfortunately, many shampoos contain ingredients that strip the natural oils from your hair, accelerating the drying process. Sulfate, often found in drugstore shampoos, is a common culprit.
When these oils are removed, your hair becomes extremely dry and more likely to lose its color. To avoid this, ensure your shampoo is sulfate-free. There are many shampoos specifically designed for custom-colored hair extensions.
5. The rate at which the color fades differs
Lastly, remember that color fades differently on extensions compared to natural hair. Thanks to their superior quality, extensions generally fade more slowly. Additionally, achieving lighter shades on extensions may require multiple applications.
