Do you have a picture of the colour you're trying to get rid of?

To be honest and I know it's bad but when I had this problem in my blonde extensions I just decided whatever and bleached it out, my extensions were blonde when I purchased them and didn't realise I'd toned them with a different shade of toner to the one I used on my hair (I ran out -sad face- haha) but yeah so it came out very pink toned and not silver toned like if wanted and after bleaching they were the blonde they were when I got them. In saying that I'd do a strand test first but if you're sure they're 100% human hair then I'd bleach. Just make sure to wash all of it out when you're done and if it's too light for your hair just get a dye and fix them up :) this is just what I'd do but the only other solution I can think of would to just wash, wash wash at them until the colour starts to come out but extensions do hold colour better than our hair does.

Okay, don't panic. Simple solution:
-Use a hair color remover (like l'oreal color oops (drugstore) or l'oreal color zap (Sally's. Really good. It took red and brown out of my hair)
-like Shaye said do a stand test first
-then go in with the blue dye
---also, I don't know how I feel about coloring hair that's not virgin (never been processed) so be cautious

It's more gentle than bleach

Don't ever bleach or use colour remover on extensions! It will ruin them! Colour removers are essentially the same as bleach; they use peroxide to shrink the colour molecules. You could try to remove the colour by letting the extensions soak in a solution of dish soap and hot water for a while, that normally works if the colour used was veggie dye. If that doesn't work, then you could try a bleach bath on them (1 part clarifying shampoo to 2 parts powdered bleach) but I wouldn't recommend it. Then you need to deep condition them! Olive oil, coconut oil, any of those will work great. Because hair extensions aren't attached at your scalp, they don't get the oils needed to maintain moisture, which makes them dry and brittle. Hopefully one of those options works for you hun, I've had to fix many a clients extensions because they bleached them! Best of luck xx
