SHADE MATCH GUIDE

Find the shade that makes it disappear.

Match the hair people actually see: the mid-lengths and ends in natural daylight.

Most shade mistakes start at the root.

Extensions sit through the lengths, so the believable match usually comes from the color your ends show in real light.

What matters most

  • Use daylight. Stand near a window and avoid warm bathroom lighting before choosing.
  • Match the ends. Compare the section that will lay directly over the extension.
  • Choose dimension. Balayage and highlighted shades are more forgiving when you are between two tones.

How to pick your shade

  1. Take two clear photos. One in indirect daylight and one with the hair brushed smooth.
  2. Compare against the lower half. The best blend should disappear into your mid-lengths and ends.
  3. Use the more forgiving option. If you are between two shades, choose the blend with softer dimension.

Before Color: Choose Length and Wear Time

Choose the method before comparing length. For Halo, measure from where the weft will sit around the back of your head to the intended ends. For Tape-In, measure from the professionally planned placement row to the intended ends. For a ponytail extension, measure from your secured ponytail base to the intended ends.

Halo and ponytail pieces are removable after each wear. Invisible Tape-In belongs in a professionally installed and maintained routine, so discuss placement, upkeep, and removal with your extension professional instead of relying on a fixed wear-time promise.

Questions before you buy

Should I match my roots?

Not first. Roots are usually darker and the extension mostly blends through the lengths and ends.
What if I have highlights?

Choose a dimensional or highlighted shade that connects the light and dark pieces.
Can support help me choose?

Yes. Send clear daylight photos before ordering if you are unsure.
