Dye hair before/after putting in bonded extensions?

[chocolatecake]

Hi!

I have recently trained as a hair extensionist *woop* and have a query..

If a client comes in with dyed hair (say natural hair colour is brown but has been dyed red)..

would it be better to tell her to come in once her hair has faded slightly, say after 3/4 weeks, match the hair extensions to her original colour and then she can go off and dye her hair again once the extensions have been applied (so that the hair extensions get dyed too from brown to red and end up the same colour as her natural but dyed hair), OR, tell her to come in with her hair freshly dyed and match the hair extensions to this colour?

Im thinking that:
1: with the second option, the dyed colour is going to fade from her natural hair, making the colour orangey-pinky-red therefore meaning it will no longer match the colour of the extensions as they will remain red, and

2: when she goes to re-colour her hair, she will be colouring the already red extensions, which I'm assuming will mean the extensions will go even redder and not match her 're-dyed after having faded' natural hair?

3: with the first option, the dyed colour will fade equally from both the natural hair AND the extensions, which would keep the extensions looking natural right? Or not? Bah!

Please help! If any of this makes sense!
Thank you!

In my opinion 3rd option, I never recommend my extension clients dye their extensions, even more so on the head. Not saying I'm correct but that's the way I do go x

It's a hard one as it's a fast fading colour. Strictly speaking you can dye extensions if they are real hair HOWEVER the client who dyes herself or gets them dyed from a hairdresser must be held responsible.

Even tho the hair is real it's not receiving any moisture from the scalp so over processing will result in rotten hair

Unless she can get a stylist to just keep dying her roots and her own hair which I'm assuming would be part way down her extensions?

When I got mine the girl told me to dye my own hair to the colour I wanted my extensions to be (brown with highlights at the time) then she matched 3 colours and put these on my hair. Red is a hard one as it fades so quick - how long is she likely to keep it red for? If not long advise her to get good quality clip ins? X
