Color matching is one of the most crucial steps when selecting hair extensions. Whether your client is looking for a subtle enhancement or a bold transformation, choosing the right shade is key to ensuring the extensions blend seamlessly with their natural hair.
Step-by-Step Guide to Color Matching:
-
Assess the Client's Natural Hair Color: Before selecting a color, assess your client’s natural hair color. Consider whether they have highlights, lowlights, or multi-dimensional tones. These factors will help you select a shade that enhances their overall look.
-
Match Root Color: For clients looking for a natural, subtle look, try to match the extension color as closely to their root shade. This will create a seamless transition from their natural hair to the extensions.
-
Consider Undertones: Hair colors have warm or cool undertones. When choosing extensions, it's important to consider the undertones of your client’s natural hair. If their hair has a golden or warm undertone, select extensions with a similar warmth. If their hair has cool or ash undertones, opt for cooler-toned extensions.
-
Blending with Highlights or Balayage: For clients with highlights or balayage, look for extensions that have a mix of lighter and darker shades to mimic the natural highlights in their hair. West Ivie Hair Co. offers a wide range of ombre and balayage extension options for this reason.
-
Consider the Length of the Extensions: Sometimes the color of the extensions can look different based on the length of the hair. Be sure to take this into account when selecting the right shade.
