You can perm hair extensions, however, as hair extensions are already processed, with any additional processing (especially blonder hair) you cannot guarantee what the outcome and quality would be with the end result. We would strongly recommend performing a strand test before you go ahead with processing the entire set.
All of our hair is double drawn and 100% human Indian Remy. Our hair will last 3-5 months, however with the right aftercare, many of our customers have seen their hair last up to 12 months.

As all of our hair extensions are 100% human hair, for the most part, additional processing in terms of colouring has been successfully achieved by many of our clients without issue.
However, we do have to make you aware that should you decide to go ahead, as we are not performing the processing ourselves, we will not be able to guarantee the quality after this has occurred, and this would be at your own risk. We would advise performing this on a test strand first to ensure you are able to achieve the finished look you desire, before going ahead and processing the entire set.

In regards to grading, each supplier uses a different grading system to another and therefore this is a difficult way to judge hair, however comparatively speaking, our hair would be 5A. This applies to all of our ranges.

Colour FAQs
Unfortunately, we are unable to send out a complimentary colour ring. Our colour rings are created at the lowest cost possible to ensure business accessibility is as cost effective as possible, therefore we are unable to supply these free of charge, however, we are happy to help in any way that we can.
Any of our dedicated online teams will be more than happy to help you with a colour match. The quickest way to receive a colour match is via Live Chat. Alternatively, please get in touch with our Customer Service Team via hello@simplyhair.co.uk and include 2 or 3 images of your hair from different angles, from root to tip, ensuring that your images are taken in natural light, with no filters, so that our team can gather the best possible idea of your hair colour.
On the rare occasion that an item you require is out of stock, please don't hesitate to ask any of our teams for advice on alternative solutions, or for advice on when this colour will be back in stock.
We do not currently stock an ombre hair extension range as this is such a tailored colour and starting and finishing points can vary from client to client. However, we do offer root stretch hair extensions which can create a similar effect to balayage. Most of our customers also find blending multiple colours together is the best way to achieve a more natural result.
Our Root Stretch hair extensions have 2 inches of root colour.
As all of our hair is 100% human and hand made, slight unnoticeable colour differences may occur from batch to batch. However, all of our hair goes through strict testing to ensure these colours do not deviate far from our colour ring. All of our hair goes through a strict testing process, ensuring colour and condition are kept to a high standard. However, we would always recommend checking the hair extensions prior to being fitted, to ensure you are happy with both the colour and the quality of our products as we are happy to refund any unused goods returned to us.
Please see our terms and conditions which details the colour matching process in regards to returns -
Colour rings are designed to be used as a guide, all hair is processed individually so inevitably there will be small variations between batches. Having said this, however, all of our hair is colour matched before leaving our warehouse by hand, and it is rare that a significant colour discrepancy would occur.
In order for us to assist with this, please return the colours in question by completing the following returns form -
https://www.simplyhair.co.uk/returns/returns-form/
Once the hair arrives back with us we will be able to investigate this for you accordingly. Should a significant colour discrepancy be found that is outside of what would be considered normal, your postage costs for the return will be refunded for you alongside a full refund for the hair in question that has been returned. We aim to have hair that is returned to us processed the same day, and will do all that we can to ensure this is done as quickly as possible for you.
In the event that you have noticed a discrepancy in colour after the hair extensions have been fitted, unfortunately, we are unable to accept the hair back for a return. Please see our terms and conditions which details the colour matching process in regards to returns -
Sourcing FAQs
Our hair is of Indian origin, and we work closely with a factory who source hair directly from the women themselves. This is to ensure that the women are paid fairly, and that their donations are of their own choosing. It is for this reason that we do not list our hair as “temple” hair, and is also the reason we steer away from the traditional grading system that exists in the industry. With the hair market so highly saturated with sellers, it was important to us that rather than aligning with the status quo of the industry in terms of “temple hair” and “AAA grade hair” having the widest representation in the marketplace, we wanted to look inwards at the practice of the factory we work with directly, in order to understand how they source and process hair, whilst maintaining standards throughout their own supply chain, right through to their workers. We source directly from women who voluntarily donate their hair, and are paid for their donation.
We have an entire page dedicated to different aspects of the hair sourcing process which you may find helpful, and we have listed this below for you -
