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.

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.
