How colour matching works
Compare depth, undertone and dimension
A good match considers more than whether the hair is brunette or blonde.
Depth
How light or dark the hair appears, from jet black through to platinum blonde and white.
Undertone
The subtle cast in the hair, such as warm gold, neutral beige, cool ash, copper or red.
Dimension
Highlights, lowlights, balayage, root shadows and multiple tones running through the hair.
Warm, neutral or cool?
Compare hair extension undertones
Warm undertones
Golden, honey, caramel, copper and warm chestnut tones.
Neutral undertones
Balanced beige and natural tones without a strong golden, red or ash cast.
Cool undertones
Ash, pearl, silver and cool beige tones with less visible warmth.
Solid or multi-tonal?
Choose a solid shade or a highlighted and blended colour
Solid shades contain one dominant colour. Blended shades combine two or more tones and may suit highlighted, balayage, rooted or naturally dimensional hair.
Solid shades
One dominant depth and undertone.
Blended shades
Two or more complementary colours.
Rooted and balayage
A darker top transitioning into lighter lengths.
Understanding shade names
Hair extension shade codes can vary between ranges
A shade number or name may not look identical across every product range because texture, density, photography, lighting and manufacturing batches can affect the visible finish.

Frequently asked questions
Hair extension colour comparison FAQs
Should hair extensions match my roots or my ends?
Hair extensions usually need to blend with the mid-lengths and ends rather than matching only the roots.
What is the difference between a solid and blended shade?
A solid shade has one dominant colour. A blended shade combines two or more tones and can suit highlighted, balayage or rooted hair.
How do I know whether my hair is warm or cool?
Warm hair shows golden, honey, caramel, copper or red tones. Cool hair appears more ash, pearl, silver or neutral.
Can the same shade look different across hair extension ranges?
Yes. Texture, density, lighting, photography and manufacturing batches can affect the visible finish.
Can you help me choose a colour from a photo?
Yes. Send clear photographs or a short video taken in natural daylight for guidance on the closest available shade.
