Understanding Hair Colour

A little colour knowledge can make choosing your new hair feel much easier. Start with the depth, then look at the tone and finish.

01

Start With the Shade

02

Look at the Tone

Two colours can be equally light or dark but look different because of their undertones.

Warm

Golden, honey, caramel and copper tones create a warmer-looking colour.

Neutral

Balanced tones sit between warm and cool, without a strongly golden or ashy finish.

03

Notice the Little Details

The overall shade is only part of the finished look.

Highlights & Blends

A mix of lighter and darker strands can give a colour more dimension.

Rooted Shades

Some styles feature a darker root that blends into a lighter colour through the lengths.

Lighting

Colours can appear different in daylight, indoor lighting and on different screens.

A Little Colour Tip

If you're matching a topper or extensions to your natural hair, compare the colour with your mid-lengths and ends as well as your roots. For wigs, think about the overall shade you'd like to wear.

Images are illustrative examples of hair colour families and tones, not exact product shade matches. Please refer to individual product photographs and shade descriptions when choosing your colour.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

How to Choose Your Shade

Use these simple steps to narrow down your colour options and feel more confident in your choice.

01

Start With Your Goal

Are you matching your natural hair or trying something new? For toppers and extensions, think about how the new hair will blend with your existing colour.

02

Compare in Natural Light

Look at your hair near a window or outdoors in indirect daylight. Indoor lighting can make colours appear warmer, cooler, lighter or darker than they really are.

03

Check the Full Colour

Look beyond the main shade. Notice any highlights, lowlights, darker roots or blended tones shown in the product photographs and description.

04

Compare Your Shortlist

If you're deciding between two shades, compare their depth and tone side by side. Check the individual product photographs rather than relying on the shade name alone.
