Find Your Extension Colour: The Hairglamour Colour-Match Guide
Why the right colour matters most
Even the most beautiful extensions only look invisible when the colour is right. Whether premium synthetic fibre or Remy human hair: the matching shade is what lets the added length and volume blend seamlessly into your own hair. If the tone is off, the transition shows immediately. The good news: with a few simple rules and our free colour-match service, you will reliably find your shade.
Match to your mid-lengths and ends, not your roots
The most common mistake when choosing a colour is matching to the roots. Extensions sit below the crown and lie over your mid-lengths and ends, and that is exactly where everything has to harmonise. Hold your hair down to the side, look at the mid-lengths and ends in daylight, and compare our colours to that section. That is how clip-in extensions visually merge with your hair instead of standing out.
Between two shades? Go lighter
If you cannot decide between two nuances, always choose the lighter one. Slightly lighter extensions read like natural highlights and reflections and flatter the face. A shade that is too dark settles over your lengths like a shadow and quickly looks heavy. Lighter is the safe choice.
Free photo colour-match service
Still unsure? We are happy to do it for you. Simply send a photo of your hair taken in daylight (no flash, no filter, ideally by a window) to support@hairglamour.de. Photograph the lengths and ends, not just the roots. Our team will compare your tone to our palette and recommend the right colour. The service is completely free and with no obligation.
