Can I dye my hair extensions with out ruining them?

[okiwa]

Hi I recently got hair extensions weaved in. I ordered the hair extensions myself because it would be faster and cheaper. They are real human hair. But the problem was that they turned out lighter than I expected. They look fine but I was wondering if I had the option to dye them a darker colour. Would that damage the quality of the hair extensions?

On the website I brought them from it says they can be dyed but the woman who did them suggested not to. I don't know if that's just because she personally doesn't like dying hair at all or if it would actually damage them?

Please help thanks

With most brands you are just fine to dye them darker

Dying them darker shouldn't be a problem. It does damage the hair a little bit (just like dye damages the hair growing out of your head), but it shouldn't make them unwearable or anything. I've used permanent hair dye on really cheap, low-grade hair before and it turned out fine.
