The Golden Rule of Colour Matching

Always match your extensions to the colour at your crown – where the halo wire will sit. This is the most visible part and the key to a seamless, natural blend.

Step-by-Step Colour Matching

1

Find Your Base Colour

Look at the roots and main body of your hair (not the tips). This is your base colour. Common base colours include:

Black
Dark Brown
Medium Brown
Light Brown
Caramel
Golden Blonde
Beach Blonde
Ash Blonde
2

Identify Your Undertone

Undertones affect how colours look against your skin. There are three main types:

Warm

Golden, honey, caramel tones. Veins look green.

Cool

Ash, beige, neutral tones. Veins look blue/purple.

Neutral

Balance of warm & cool. Veins look blue-green.

Consider Your Dimensional Colour

If you have highlights, lowlights, balayage, or ombré, you have options:

  • Match your base colour for the most seamless look
  • Choose multi-tone extensions to complement your highlights
  • Blend two shades for a custom colour match

Pro Tips for Perfect Colour Matching

  • Always check colour in natural daylight – indoor lighting can be misleading
  • When in doubt, go lighter – it's easier to add lowlights than to lighten extensions
  • Order a colour swatch first if available – many brands offer this service
  • Extensions look slightly darker when first removed from packaging
