I ombréd my hair at home, so my ends are a goldish blonde.
I wear a single row of extensions at the end of my scalp to give my ends a little more fullness.
The color match is ok.
But with the extensions it kinda hides the full brightness of the blonde my real hair is and I want the ombré look to be prominent.
So will it totally ruin my extensions to bleach them a bit?

What kind of extensions are they, what quality of hair?

What Monica said, depends on the quality of hair. I've had a set of extensions that could take bleach very well and other sets not so much, it's not recommended but not impossible. :)

I know you can bleach virgin hair but as far as human hair, use caution. some of that hair doesn't even be human hair.

If it is Human Hair you can, do not for synthetic hair.

I've dyed and bleached a set of my extensions before and it doesn't ruin them, but they don't feel as healthy ya know. I had to deep condition mine. So as Shaye said, it depends on the quality of the hair!
