Watercoloring Hair Bundles is one of the fastest, most beginner‑friendly ways to achieve gorgeous custom color on human hair extensions with minimal mess and damage. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to watercolor Hair Bundles step by step, with pro tips, inspiration, and FAQs to help you get the best from your VIVACROWN Hair Bundles.

What Is the Watercolor Method for Hair Bundles?
The watercolor method is a coloring technique where you mix hair dye into hot or warm water, then dip Hair Bundles into the colored bath to achieve an even, soft, blended shade. It is especially popular for 613 blonde Hair Bundles and high‑quality human Hair Bundles because it colors quickly while helping to preserve softness and movement.
Compared with traditional brush‑on dyeing, watercoloring Hair Bundles uses diluted color, so there is less risk of over‑processing, patchiness, or harsh lines. It also makes it easier to color multiple Hair Bundles at once for a seamless install, even if you're a beginner at coloring.
Why Watercolor VIVACROWN Hair Bundles?
VIVACROWN focuses on real human Hair Bundles and hand‑tied pieces, so the fibers can be safely colored using gentle methods like watercoloring when done correctly. This approach lets you personalize your Hair Bundles to match your skin tone, style, or seasonal trends while still enjoying softness, shine, and longevity.
When you start with premium human Hair Bundles, the watercolor method becomes a powerful way to transform your look without extreme chemicals or long processing times. You can create subtle tonal changes or bold fashion shades while keeping your Hair Bundles reusable for future installs.
- You can quickly transform 613 blonde Hair Bundles into rich reds, coppers, chocolates, or jet black with one coloring session.
- Watercoloring helps maintain the natural texture of curly, wavy, or straight Hair Bundles, which is essential for premium looks.
- With the right care, high‑quality Hair Bundles can be recolored and restyled multiple times, giving you outstanding value from each set.
Tools & Products You Need to Watercolor Hair Bundles
Before you start, gather everything in one place to keep the process smooth and controlled. Having your Hair Bundles and tools prepared will make the coloring session faster and less messy.
You will need:
- High‑quality human Hair Bundles (613 blonde or light brown recommended for vivid colors).
- Large heat‑resistant plastic tub, bowl, or sink.
- Hot or very warm water source.
- Semi‑permanent or demi‑permanent liquid hair dye (liquid formulas mix more easily for the watercolor method).
- Rat‑tail comb, dye brush or mixing spoon, disposable gloves, and old towel.
- Sulfate‑free shampoo and moisturizing conditioner made for colored hair bundles.
- Wide‑tooth comb or detangling brush for Hair Bundles.
- Drying rack or hanger for air‑drying your Hair Bundles.
If you are coloring multiple Hair Bundles at once, many stylists follow a rough rule of thumb: one bottle of semi‑permanent dye per Hair Bundle for rich, even color. You can adjust this depending on the water level and how intense you want your final color.
Step‑by‑Step: How to Watercolor Hair Bundles
This section walks through the full process, from prepping VIVACROWN Hair Bundles to drying and styling. Follow each step carefully to keep your Hair Bundles smooth, soft, and vibrant.
Step 1: Prep Your Hair Bundles
Start with clean, dry Hair Bundles that are free of heavy oils, gels, or styling products. Product buildup can block the color from penetrating and cause uneven patches on your Hair Bundles.
- Use a wide‑tooth comb and gently detangle each Hair Bundle from ends to weft.
- If the Hair Bundles feel coated, do a quick wash with a mild, sulfate‑free shampoo and let them air dry before watercoloring.
- Completely loosen or unravel the Hair Bundles so that water and color can reach every strand evenly.
- Check the wefts and ends of your Hair Bundles for tangles and smooth them out now to avoid problems later.
Step 2: Fill the Container with Hot or Warm Water
Fill your bowl or sink with enough water to fully submerge the Hair Bundles, but not so much that the color becomes overly diluted. The water should feel hot or very warm when you touch it with a gloved hand.
- As a starting point, use about 1.5–1.7 liters of water per bottle of liquid dye.
- Adjust the water level depending on how many Hair Bundles you are coloring at once and how strong you want the shade.
- Avoid pouring boiling water directly on the Hair Bundles; extremely high heat can dry or roughen the cuticle over time.
Step 3: Mix in Your Hair Dye
Put on gloves, then pour your semi‑permanent dye directly into the hot water and stir until fully dissolved. The water should look like a smooth “color bath,” with no dark dye clumps floating on the surface or stuck at the bottom.
- Stir with a dye brush or spoon, scraping the sides and bottom of the container.
- If you see streaks of undissolved color, keep mixing until the bath looks even.
- To test the shade, briefly dip the ends of one Hair Bundle into the water, then adjust by adding more dye (for deeper color) or more water (for softer tone).
Step 4: Submerge the Hair Bundles
Once the color bath is ready, slowly lower the Hair Bundles into the water, starting from the ends and working up toward the weft. You want every part of the Hair Bundles to touch the colored water for an even result.
- Do not drop tightly wrapped Hair Bundles straight into the water; unwrap and fan them out first.
- Use your hands or a brush to gently move the Hair Bundles around, making sure inner sections are saturated.
- If you prefer dark roots or a shadow root on your Hair Bundles, keep the weft area out of the bath or only dip it slightly.
- For frontal or closure pieces, be careful not to fully soak the lace base in concentrated dye to keep it looking natural.
Step 5: Let the Color Process
Allow the Hair Bundles to soak in the color bath until you reach the shade you want. Processing time will vary by dye brand and the starting shade of your Hair Bundles, but semi‑permanent dyes usually work fairly quickly.
- A typical processing window is 10–25 minutes for most Hair Bundles.
- Check your Hair Bundles every 5–10 minutes by lifting one bundle and looking at it in good light.
- Keep in mind that Hair Bundles usually dry slightly lighter than they appear when wet, so aim for a shade that looks a touch deeper than your final target.
- If you want an ombré effect, you can lift part of the Hair Bundles out of the bath halfway through processing.

Step 6: Remove and Squeeze Out Excess Water
When the color has processed, carefully remove the Hair Bundles from the water. Hold each Hair Bundle over the sink or bowl and gently squeeze from the weft down to the ends to remove excess liquid.
- Avoid twisting or wringing Hair Bundles like a towel; this can cause tangling and damage.
- Keep the Hair Bundles aligned in a downward direction to maintain smoothness and cuticle alignment.
- If some areas look lighter, you can briefly dip those sections back into the bath before discarding the water.
Step 7: Rinse the Hair Bundles
Rinse each Hair Bundle under cool to lukewarm running water until the water runs mostly clear. This step removes extra surface dye while helping to set the color on your Hair Bundles.
- Hold the Hair Bundles by the weft and let the water run downward along the lengths.
- Use your fingers to gently separate sections so that all parts of the Hair Bundles are rinsed.
- Continue rinsing until only a faint tint (or none at all) appears in the water.
Step 8: Shampoo & Condition Colored Hair Bundles
Even though watercoloring is a gentler method, it is essential to care for Hair Bundles after coloring. Proper cleansing and conditioning will help your Hair Bundles look silky and stay tangle‑free.
- Use a sulfate‑free shampoo to lightly cleanse the Hair Bundles, focusing more on mid‑lengths and ends than the weft.
- Apply a rich, moisturizing conditioner to Hair Bundles from mid‑lengths to ends, avoiding heavy product build‑up near the weft.
- Let the conditioner sit for a few minutes to nourish the colored Hair Bundles before rinsing with cool water.
- For very dry or previously processed Hair Bundles, add a deep conditioning mask every few washes to keep the hair soft.
Step 9: Dry and Style Your Hair Bundles
Lay Hair Bundles flat on a clean towel or hang them from a hanger to air dry. Air drying is the safest option for preserving the texture and integrity of colored Hair Bundles.
- Gently press Hair Bundles with a towel to remove extra water, rather than rubbing.
- Allow Hair Bundles to dry completely before installing or using hot tools.
- When you style Hair Bundles with heat, always use a heat protectant spray and work with low to medium temperature settings.
- Curling, straightening, or waving your Hair Bundles after watercoloring can bring out dimension and shine in your new color.
Pro Tips to Protect Your Hair Bundles When Watercoloring
A few smart habits can dramatically extend the life of your VIVACROWN Hair Bundles after coloring. These tips will help you keep your watercolor Hair Bundles looking fresh between installs.
- Always choose high‑quality human Hair Bundles with intact cuticles for the best coloring results.
- Avoid harsh clarifying shampoos on freshly colored Hair Bundles, as they may strip pigment and moisture.
- Wash Hair Bundles in cool or lukewarm water only, and reduce wash frequency to preserve color vibrancy.
- Use color‑safe, sulfate‑free products and lightweight oils, focusing on the mid‑lengths and ends of your Hair Bundles.
- Store Hair Bundles in a satin or silk bag or hang them neatly to prevent tangling and color rubbing off on fabrics.
For intense shades like bright red, burgundy, or copper on Hair Bundles, consider using a color‑depositing conditioner every few washes. This can help maintain depth and shine without fully recoloring your Hair Bundles each time.
Choosing the Right Hair Bundles for Watercoloring
The starting quality and shade of your Hair Bundles make a big difference in your final watercolor result. VIVACROWN offers premium human Hair Bundles designed to take color beautifully and last through multiple styling sessions.
- 613 blonde Hair Bundles are ideal if you want vibrant fashion colors, pastels, or dramatic transformations.
- Natural black or dark brown Hair Bundles are perfect for deepening to jet black, warm chocolate, or subtle tonal changes.
- Curly and wavy Hair Bundles can be watercolor‑dyed as long as you treat them gently and avoid aggressive combing while wet.
When in doubt, choose lighter Hair Bundles if your goal is vivid or pastel shades, and remember that taking Hair Bundles from very dark to very light is best handled by a professional colorist.
Styling Ideas for Watercolored Hair Bundles
Once your Hair Bundles are beautifully colored, there are endless ways to style them. The watercolor method can enhance movement and dimension in several looks.
- Install your Hair Bundles as a traditional sew‑in for a full, luminous style.
- Create a custom wig using watercolored Hair Bundles and a matching frontal or closure for maximum versatility.
- Add a few colored Hair Bundles to natural‑tone bundles to create subtle peekaboo highlights.
- Mix different watercolor shades across multiple Hair Bundles for a soft, blended balayage effect.
Because the color is diffused through water, watercolor Hair Bundles often appear multi‑dimensional and soft, making them ideal for both everyday wear and special events.

FAQ: Watercolor Hair Bundles
1. Can I watercolor any type of Hair Bundles?
Most human Hair Bundles can be watercolor‑dyed, but lighter Hair Bundles (such as 613 blonde) show color more accurately and vibrantly. Darker Hair Bundles can be tinted deeper or richer but will not display bright fantasy colors unless they are first lightened by a professional. For best results, always check that your Hair Bundles are 100% human hair and not synthetic.
2. Will watercoloring damage my Hair Bundles?
The watercolor method is generally gentler than traditional brush‑on dyeing because the color is diluted in water and processing times are shorter. However, any chemical process can dry the hair slightly, so it is important to follow with moisturizing products and avoid excessive heat. When you start with high‑quality human Hair Bundles and use color‑safe products, you can keep them soft, manageable, and reusable.
3. How many times can I recolor the same Hair Bundles?
With premium Hair Bundles like those from VIVACROWN, you can recolor them several times if you use semi‑permanent dyes and maintain them well. Every coloring session adds a little stress to the hair, so try to plan your color changes thoughtfully instead of switching shades constantly. Deep conditioning treatments and gentle detangling help extend the lifespan of frequently colored Hair Bundles.
4. How do I prevent the color from bleeding onto my scalp or pillow?
To reduce color transfer, rinse your Hair Bundles thoroughly with cool water after watercoloring until the water runs nearly clear. Use a color‑safe shampoo and conditioner, then allow your Hair Bundles to dry fully before installing or sleeping on them. You can also sleep on a dark pillowcase or use a satin bonnet to protect both your Hair Bundles and your bedding.
5. Can I watercolor curly or wavy Hair Bundles without ruining the pattern?
Yes, watercoloring works beautifully on curly and wavy Hair Bundles when you handle them carefully. Avoid rough brushing while the Hair Bundles are wet, and let them air dry to preserve the curl pattern. Use curl‑defining creams or light leave‑in conditioners designed for curly Hair Bundles, and avoid heavy products that could weigh down or stretch the curl.
