Hey there, hair enthusiasts! If you're diving into the world of hair extensions or contemplating a change in hair color, you're in the right place. Choosing the perfect extension shade is the easiest way to ensure a seamless, natural blend. No one will even be able to tell you have extensions in!
First, know your natural hair color and complexion
Your hair and skin tone are uniquely yours. When you’re shopping for hair extensions and looking for your perfect extensions color, it’s helpful to know your natural hair color and skin complexion tones. Take a close look at your hair in natural light. Are you noticing warm, golden undertones or cooler, ashier vibes? Also take note of your skin’s hue to determine if you have warmer or cooler skin. People with warm skin undertones tend to tan more easily and have a golden-brown undertone to their skin. Someone with cool undertones would burn more easily and tends to have a pink or rosy undertone. Identifying the subtle differences for your hair color and complexion can help you narrow down which extensions will be your best match for a stunning and confident look.
Use online tools to do a virtual color match

Order a complementary swatch kit
Once you get the results of the virtual color match, then you can order 3 swatches of hair in a complementary swatch kit. The only thing you pay for is shipping! After it arrives, match each one of the swatches to the ends of your hair from the midshaft down (not at your roots). The last step is to decide the length and method of extensions you want to shop! A swatch kit ensures you find the right extensions color conveniently, quickly, and with no guesswork.
Working with a certified stylist
If you’re getting a pro method like Tape-In, Hybrid Weft, Kera-Link, I-Link or Flat-Tip installed, you’ll want to work with a certified stylist to find your extensions color. Need help finding one in your area? Use our Find a Stylist Tool. You can look up your local area and do a search to see if a salon pops up within 10-250 miles of your location.
You can also do a Google search for terms like "hair extension stylist," "hair extension salon," or "wefts in [city name]" or "tape in hair extensions near me." Another option is to use a salon directory website like Yelp, StyleSeat or SalonFinder, or check social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook.
Many stylists have a Color Ring with a complete set of colors they can use to help you narrow down which extensions color you want. At Donna Bella Hair, our extensive color range of over 40+ shades are designed to complement a spectrum of natural hues, ensuring that there's a perfect match waiting just for you.
