Natural redheads -- any success with hair extensions?

Kelly, on September 2, 2017 at 2:23 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

I'm worried about finding a color that will blend in well with my hair because so far most of the places I've looked at only have 1 shade of red hair and it appears either too purplish or orange. My hair is more on the auburn end of the spectrum for most of the year but in the summer gets a bit lighter (I'm getting married in May, so probably somewhere between the 2 pictures below). Were any of you able to find extensions that looked natural? Of course there's always the option of dyeing the extensions but I'm hoping to keep costs low.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Your color is SO pretty!!!!!! Wow!!! I had dark red hair and order brown extensions and my hair dresser dyed them my color for like 20 bucks. I would find a similar shade to your hair and do that. It's called a "tint".

    I can help not at all because I'm #blessed with a dull mousy brown mop, but damn that's some pretty hair!

    I've never wanted them, but my oldest actually gets hers off of Etsy and they match her summer shade perfectly.

    Also a natural redhead on the auburn side. I don't need extensions, but my hairstylist said they can get them cheaper and dye them if there isn't an exact match. I'd talk to yours before ordering any!

    Agreed with PP's my hairdresser said if I wanted them she would dye them, but my hair grows super fast so I probably won't need them

    Yep! Natural auburn red head here and I found two on Amazon that were almost an exact match that I'll be using for my wedding Smiley smile

    First link I ordered the "Light Auburn/Red"

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00846Z1AQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Second link I ordered the "#6 Light Brown" (grrr lol).

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MU39OUB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1

    Gotta love how the majority of "red" extensions/dye are friggin maroon. That's NOT red hair!
