How to dye a coontail in a hair extension?

i have pink clip ins [3] and nowhere around where i live sells coontail extensions so i wanted to dye them, can anyone give me instructions on how.?How to dye a coontail in a hair extension?
If there synthetic you can't dye them.


But if they're human hair all you need to do is:





First get a tint brush (they cost around 拢1/$2).





Now straighten the extension %26amp; clip it to a piece of card so it doesn't move around.





Just carefully paint on the dye %26amp; leave for however long you need.





wash out the dye, %26amp; leave to air dry. This will only take 30 mins tops cause it's such a small section of hair.





Then repeat all the above on the other side.





You can do both at the same time, but sometimes the colour bleeds down when I did that so I tend to just do it seperatly.





Good Luck :)How to dye a coontail in a hair extension?
I found this for making it in your own hair but it should help for doing it in an extension as well. Source link has pictures





1. take the (STRAIGHTENED) piece of hair you want to make a sweeeeet coontail in. (pin the rest back or something) make sure its all the same length and when your hair is just normal (straightened) it is naturally all together and not just random little pieces all over the place.








2. take a piece of tape like 2-3 inches long, and put it on towards the top of the strip of hair. then fold the piece of tape over, so its wrapped around the hair.











3. keep doing that. make sure the intervals between the tape are all even and the tape is tight around your hair (you can get it off by wetting it or just ripping it out or cutting the tape apart)











4. mix your hairdye, put on your gloves, make sure the rest of your hair is all pinned/clipped back or else you will get weird spots all over the parts where it touches later on.











5. put a little (like pea sized amount) of hairdye on your thumb and pointer finger, and rub them together or something so it doesn't drip off. then, starting at the highest stripe, put your two hairdye fingers on either side and rub them together on the first hair stripe. try to hold the taped part underneath the first stripe tight with your other two fingers on the other hand, because hairdye might seep into it while you are putting it on the hair right above the tape. make sure the hair is covered with hairdye, and then move down to the next stripe.





Wash it carefully.
It depends if you want black and white 'coons or if you want them pink and black etc.


Basically get a proper salon brush from a local hairdressers store (try sallys beauty, it's where i get all my hair dye from :)) and then put some dye on the edge of the brush and stripe away. Just leave about an inch gap between each stripe. or you could put some tape round the bits you want to stay pink.


Make sure you cover everything around you first though :D


Have fun xx
Clip ins are synthetic and can not be dyed. But Hot Topic is coming out with some striped extensions. You can always order them from hottopic.com if there is not a store near you.
