The answer is quite complex and similar to what we would say about perming your own natural hair.

You see, perming damages all hair - even your natural hair. Because Hairlaya extensions are made of 100% human-grade cuticle hair, perming damages the extensions. We can not recommend or approve it.

However, you can take a few precautions if you want to perm your hair.

The first and most important thing is only to get your perm done by a highly trained and licensed stylist - you can find Hairlaya-approved stylists on our Stylist Locator page.

Once you find your stylist, you want to stand-test, ensuring you like the style beforehand and going all in. Once you find the style you like, you want to choose a color-safe perm and minimize the processing to keep the damage as minimal as possible.

From there, your stylist can take over the rest, delivering stunning results.

As a final warning, we do not recommend perming your Hairlaya extensions or any extensions for that matter, even though it is possible to perm your hair.

It is important to be aware that once you perm your hair, you will no longer be eligible for a warranty.

Yes, you can dye or color your Hairlaya extensions, but there are some important things to note. Hairlaya extensions have already gone through a dying process, so certain shades will have much better results, which is why we always recommend using a professional stylist.

A licensed stylist will help you safely achieve the results you are looking for, including bending the extensions and natural hair so you have a seamless look. Incorrect dying procedures can also cause damage and shorten the lifestyle of your extensions, making it critical to seek professional assistance.

For maximum results, you want to highlight or use root touch-ups to minimize damage while still providing fun, exciting looks. If you're going to dye your entire head of hair, select a color within the same range or darker than your extensions.

You also want to avoid bleaching, and lightening agents as these can weaken the bonds and damage the extensions and your hair. If you are looking for lighter hair, a great option is to work with your stylist to select a Hairlaya extension and have the stylist color your hair beforehand to match the installation.
