Whether you can colour or perm a hair system depends heavily on the hair type used. This article explains what’s possible with human hair versus synthetic systems, and why professional handling matters for either process.
As your natural hair changes over time — new grey strands, a change in your preferred colour, or a desire for a different texture — it’s natural to wonder whether your hair system can be adjusted to match. Here’s what’s possible.
It Depends Entirely on Hair Type
Human hair systems can generally be coloured and, in some cases, permed, similar to natural hair, since they’re made from real hair strands that respond to chemical processes in largely the same way.
Synthetic hair systems generally cannot be coloured or permed using standard chemical processes. synthetic fibres don’t respond to hair dye or perming solutions the way human hair does, and attemptinSyntheticn permanently damage the fibres.
Colouring a Human Hair System
If your system uses human hair, colour adjustments are usually possible — whether that’s covering new grey growth in your natural hair and matching the system to it, or simply updating your overall colour preference.
However, this should always be done by a professional experienced with hair systems specifically, not a standard salon colour service, since incorrect processing can damage the base material or weaken hair attachment within the base.
Perming a Human Hair System
Perming (adding curls or texture) is possible on human hair systems in some cases, but it’s a more delicate process than colouring, since perming solutions are stronger and the base material needs specific protection during the process. This is a service that should only be attempted by someone specifically experienced with hair systems.
Why DIY Colouring or Perming Is Risky?
Regular home hair colour or perm kits aren’t formulated with hair system bases in mind. Using them without professional guidance risks:
- Damaging or discoloring the base material
- Weakening the knots that hold hair strands in place, causing shedding
- Uneven or unexpected colour results, since system hair can process differently than expected
- Voiding any product guarantees tied to proper professional care
What to Do Instead?
If you’re considering a colour or texture change, bring it up with your specialist rather than attempting it yourself. They can advise whether it’s feasible for your specific system, and if so, handle the process safely — or discuss whether a colour-matched system update might be a better long-term option.
Planning for Colour Changes Over Time
If you know your natural hair colour is likely to change gradually (from greying, for instance), it’s worth discussing a plan with your specialist at your regular maintenance visits, so adjustments can be made proactively rather than waiting until the mismatch becomes noticeable.
Conclusion
Can you colour the hair system? For human hair systems, generally yes — but only through professional handling designed specifically for hair system bases. Synthetic systems, on the other hand, typically can’t be safely coloured or permed at all. Either way, this isn’t a DIY project.
