When choosing hair extensions, it’s important to look beyond your roots. In most cases, the mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair are the best areas to compare, as this is where your hair will blend with the extensions.

If your roots are darker than your ends, focus on the colour through the lengths and ends of your hair. Choosing a shade based only on your roots may result in a noticeable difference between your natural hair and your extensions.

Start by browsing the available Extensionaire shades and comparing them with your natural hair colour. Consider whether your hair is warm, cool, neutral or a combination of tones.

Look for the shade that most closely matches the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. If your hair features several colours, choose a shade that creates the most natural-looking blend.

Lighting can significantly affect how hair colour appears. Indoor lighting, direct sunlight and phone screens can all make a shade look different from its true colour.

For the most accurate comparison, assess your hair in natural daylight. Avoid relying solely on photos taken with filters or under artificial lighting.

Keep in mind that colours displayed on a screen may vary slightly from the actual product.

If you’re unsure which shade to choose, don’t worry. Finding the right match can be tricky, especially if your hair has highlights, balayage or a blend of different tones.

For the best guidance, provide clear photos of your hair in natural daylight, showing the colour from the roots through to the ends. Avoid filters and ensure your hair colour is clearly visible.
