Your Easy Guide to Matching Hair Extensions Perfectly

Full shine

Finding hair extensions that look like your real hair doesn’t have to be hard. Follow these simple steps:

Part 1: Know Your Hair’s Color

This is the most important step! Hair isn’t just “brown” or “blonde” – it has warm, cool, or neutral hints underneath.

  • 👁️Look for Shiny Hints: Does your hair look slightly golden, copper, or red? That’s Warm. Does it look more ashy, or blonde? That’s Cool. Hard to tell? It’s likely Neutral.
  • ☀️Check in Sunlight: Natural light shows the true hidden color best. Look at your hair near a window.

Part 2: See How Light or Dark Your Hair Is

This is the most important step! Hair isn’t just “brown” or “blonde” – it has warm, cool, or neutral hints underneath.

  • 👁️Look at the Middle: Check the hair from your ears down. Is it light blonde, medium brown, dark brown, or black?
  • 🤔Consider Your Roots: Your natural root color is the best guide for matching extensions.

Part 3: Comparing Close Hair Extension Colors

Choosing between shades like “Dark Brown” and “Medium Brown”?

Similar color

Always compare the hair extensions next to your own hair in natural light. Indoor lights trick your eyes.

Put a piece of your hair near your face compared with the color of hair extensions on photos.

Turn your head. The right color should look good from the front, side, and back.

Get a friend to look – a second opinion helps!

Part 4: Choosing Hair Extensions to Achieve Highlights

Match the Main Color First

Find extensions that perfectly match the most common color in your hair (usually your root or mid-length color).

Add Lighter/Darker Extensions

For a perfect look, you might buy a different color hair extensions to add your highlight color. Use these pieces mixed in with the main hair extensions.

Model hair extensions

Think About Placement

Place lighter extension pieces where natural highlights are (usually around your face and on top layers).

Don’t Go Too Light/Dark

If you don’t want too exaggerated highlights, please don’t choose too light/dark color hair extensions, just choose a little different color.


Key Tips for Success


Daylight is Your Friend

Always check the color of your hair outside or near a window.

Look at Real Pictures

See photos of hair extensions on model with hair like yours.

Think About Fading

Hair dye fades. Match your extensions to your hair color now, not what it was when freshly dyed.

When in Doubt, Go Neutral

If you can’t tell if your hair is Warm or Cool, a Neutral-toned extension is often the safest choice.
