Color Takeover is revolutionizing the relationship between the two categories of hair extensions and hair coloring education in the beauty space. From neutral balayages to glowing rainbow hair, Donna Bella Color Takeover enables you to offer professional extension-coloring services to clients requesting custom looks. And while all of our professional Remy hair can be colored, our shade #60 is the most popular as it is our lightest most neutral color, perfect for providing a blank canvas for truly bright and saturated coloring jobs.

In this portal you will find everything you need to know about coloring professional hair extensions. We’ve included detailed instructions, tips and tricks, and custom formulas for five popular looks: mermaid hair, unicorn pastel, lowlights, sombre, and fashion ombre.
