Step 1: Assess Your Roots
Start by examining the color of your roots. Take note of any highlights or lowlights that you’d like to complement with your extensions.

Step 2: Evaluate Your Overall Color
Look at the overall shade of your hair. Is it a solid color, or does it have depth with multiple tones? Does your hair lean toward cool or warm tones? This assessment will help you decide whether to choose extensions that match perfectly or ones that add dimension with highlights or lowlights.

Step 3: Focus on Your Ends
Pay attention to the color of your ends. Are they the same shade as your roots and mid-shaft, or are they lighter? A good rule of thumb is to examine your hair in natural light and match the extensions to the shade from the middle to the ends. While the color near your roots may differ, the goal is for the extensions to blend seamlessly with the lower part of your hair.
