Why Are My Hair Extensions going Peach/Orange 🍑

Why is my hair going a peachy/ pink colour and I’ve not been on holiday?!🍑

Looking in the mirror and seeing that your beautiful hair extensions have become a peachy, pink colour can be a bit of a shock to the system! 😳

Don’t worry we are here to tell you not to panic and explain to you why this has happened…

A chemical reaction is essentially the reason for the hair looking like it has changed colour. Unlike our natural hair, hair extensions are no longer connected to the scalp, so they don’t have natural oils feeding them which act as a protective layer, therefore, making them more exposed to damages and colour changes. Minerals are essentially clinging to the top layer of your hair extensions (they haven’t just changed colour) and can be removed.

What factors contribute to my hair going pink/orange?

Sunscreen

Let’s keep it simple and dumb down the science… when sun cream is absorbed into the hair and exposed to the UV light, the chemical reaction starts, Avobenzone and Octocrylene are the culprits in sun creams known to cause this chemical reaction.🍑😭

Believe it or not but some perfumes have these ingredients and if sprayed on the hair can also turn your hair pink/orange so be sure to move your luscious locks out of the way when you’re spraying your perfumes.

Is the damage already done before seeing this post? All you need is to purchase the Malibu C hard water sachets.

Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Remedy Sachets – Spectrum One Hair

You need 1 sachet per 50grams of hair extensions so check how many packs you have in and order the amount needed.

How can I prevent this from happening to my hair extensions?🙋🏼‍♀️

Buy sun cream’s that don’t contain Avobenzone and Octocrylene.

Use Malibu C hard water shampoo and conditioner when on holiday or in an area of hard water.

Keep perfume away from the hair extensions.

See if you live in a hard water area or are travelling to one (UK and abroad!) – you may need to buy the Malibu C set for at home use or whilst away.

Don’t get your hair wet when swimming. #peachhair #blonde #envyhairextensions
