Step 3: Get the right colour match

When searching for a colour match, always use the mid to end lengths of your own locks; never try to match with the roots. This is brand new hair and it naturally lightens as it ages, so you’ll end up with two conflicting shades. To get the best colour match, use hair extension colour matching service for best results.
The one thing to remember is that you should never look for a hair colour match using the tone of your natural roots. This hair is the newest on your body, so it hasn’t naturally lightened yet like the rest.
If you buy your hair extensions according to this tone, you will end up with a product that is too dark. Plus, good hair extensions are designed to fit beneath natural hair, so the colour of your roots doesn’t have to be a perfect match.
The benefit of shopping for clip in hair extensions online is that retailers offer customers the chance to return and swap their product if they get the colour match slightly wrong. Better still, at Cliphair we offer a hair extensions colour matching service where you can email pictures of yourself as well as a sample of your hair, so our colour matching experts can find the perfect match.
You can use our colour chart to find a match for your tresses too! Some people are better than others at judging colour matches, so seek a second opinion if you’re unsure. Here’s our detailed guide on how to pick the right colour of hair extensions.
If you do pick up some clip in extensions and you don’t like the colour or you want to experiment with something new, the option to dye them is open. Your hair extensions must be made out of real hair though for this to work. You should treat it in the same way as you would any dye job. If it’s real hair, it can be genuinely damaged, so take care and only dye infrequently. The same rules apply to using heat based styling products; take care and be kind to your hair (real or fake). You can dye hair extensions up to three shades darker.

Try something new
You don’t necessarily have to dive straight into a full head of extensions, particularly if you’re new to it all. You can pick up a pre-styled ponytail, a clip in fringe, or even a set of clip in highlights. You can wear one clip in extension or two; the choice is yours to make. This type of hair accessory is valuable, because it allows a person to completely change their look without having to commit to a permanent and drastic haircut.
