Hair Extension Shade Guide

Shade matching is the most important step when buying hair extensions. Extensions that match your hair perfectly are invisible. Extensions that are even slightly off are obvious from across the room. Use this guide to identify your shade family, then narrow down with our Find My Match quiz.

The golden rule: Always match to your mid-lengths and ends — not your roots. Extensions attach mid-shaft and flow toward your ends.

Black & Dark Brown

Jet Black (#1)

Pure black. Best for naturally jet black hair with no lightening at the ends.

Off-Black (#1B)

Soft black with very subtle warmth. The most popular dark shade.

Darkest Brown (#2)

Very deep espresso brown. Best for dark hair with cool undertones.

Dark Brown (#4)

Rich warm dark brown. The most common natural hair color worldwide.

Medium Brown

Medium Brown (#6)

Warm chestnut-toned medium brown. Common for brunettes who lighten slightly at the ends.

Light Medium Brown (#8)

Warm medium brown with golden undertones. Ideal for brunettes with naturally lighter ends.

Ash Brown (#8A)

Medium brown with cool grey-toned undertones. No red or orange.

Chocolate Brown (#10)

Neutral-warm medium brown. A safe choice when between shades.

Light Brown & Dirty Blonde

Light Warm Brown (#12)

Warm light brown. Sun-kissed brunette tone. Works for hair that has lightened naturally at the ends.

Golden Light Brown (#14)

Caramel-toned light brown. Popular for balayage base shades.

Dirty Blonde (#16)

Dark blonde with warm golden tones. Most natural-looking blonde for people transitioning from brown.

Medium Ash Blonde (#17)

Muted cool-toned blonde. Ideal for anyone who has toned their hair ashier.

Blonde

Natural Blonde (#18)

Classic natural blonde with warm golden undertones. Matches most untreated natural blondes.

Honey Blonde (#27)

Warm golden honey tone. Popular for summer-kissed looks and face-framing pieces.

Light Blonde (#22)

Light bright blonde with neutral undertones. For naturally light blondes or highlighted hair at its lightest.

Platinum Blonde (#60)

Pale icy blonde. Matches bleached or platinum hair only — does not blend with warm blondes.

Auburn, Red & Copper

Dark Auburn (#33)

Deep cool-toned red-brown. Suits natural dark red or auburn hair.

Medium Auburn (#30)

Balanced warm red-brown. The classic auburn shade.

Copper (#130)

Bright warm copper-orange. For true copper-haired redheads or vivid copper-dyed hair.

Highlighted & Balayage Blends

Dark Root / Blonde Balayage

Dark base blending to medium-light blonde. Matches most natural or salon balayage grow-outs.

Brown Root / Honey Blonde

Medium brown base blending to honey blonde ends. Ideal for classic brunette-to-blonde highlights.

Highlighted hair tip: Focus on the predominant colour at your mid-length. A multi-tonal extension weft blends better than a single-shade one.

How to Check Your Match

Go to a window — Natural daylight reveals true hair colour. Artificial light distorts it.
Look at your ends — Hold your hair away from your face and look at the colour at mid-length and below. That is what you are matching.
