How to Fix Brassy Hair Extensions: A Simple Guide for Stylists and Clients

Brassy hair extensions can be frustrating. You expect your extensions to stay fresh and vibrant. But sometimes, they develop unwanted warm tones like yellow or orange. At Christian Michael Hair Extensions, this is a common question. The good news is that brassiness can be fixed with the right care and products.

Tiffany Loe, a celebrity stylist and founder of Christian Michael Hair Extensions, knows how to keep extensions looking their best. She shares easy steps you can follow to restore your extensions and keep them shining. Whether you are a stylist or someone who wears extensions, this guide will help you understand why brassy tones happen and how to fix them.

Why Do Hair Extensions Get Brassy?

Brassiness happens because of oxidation. This means that minerals in water, sun exposure, and certain hair products can change the hair’s color over time. The cool or neutral tones in your extensions fade, and warmer yellows or oranges show through. This often happens near the roots where the hair meets your natural hair.

Knowing why brassiness happens is important. It helps you prevent it and keep your extensions looking fresh longer.

Step-by-Step: Fixing Brassy Hair Extensions

1. Start with a Clarifying Shampoo
   Wash your extensions with a clarifying shampoo twice. This removes buildup from minerals, oils, and styling products that cause dullness and brassiness. Focus on the roots, where brassiness often starts. Be gentle to avoid tangling the hair.
2. Skip the Root Shadow (If Possible)
   Sometimes, stylists add a root shadow to blend or tone down brassiness. But depending on how strong the brassiness is, this step might not be needed. Tiffany Loe often skips this step if the gloss alone can do the job.
3. Apply a High-Quality Gloss
   Tiffany’s favorite product to fix brassiness is a shine gloss that refreshes tone quickly. A gloss adds shine and deposits cool pigments that balance out warm hues. It works in just a few minutes and makes your extensions look like new again.

Tips to Keep Your Extensions Looking Fresh

• Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo
  Sulfates can strip color and dry out extensions. Choose a gentle, sulfate-free formula to keep hair soft and shiny.
• Limit Heat Styling
  Too much heat can fade tone and damage hair. Use heat protectant spray and keep styling tools on lower settings.
• Protect Hair from Sun and Chlorine
  UV rays and pool chemicals can cause oxidation and brassiness. Wear a hat outside and rinse hair after swimming.
