Warm, Cool or Neutral?
Most importantly when colour matching your hair to any hair extensions, is differentiating between the undertones; warm, cool or neutral. Warm undertones are where the hair can appear more golden or yellow in hue. Cool tones can indicate that a colour is more ashy or with a silvery tint. Whereas neutral tones are a combination of both, but neither too warm nor too cool.

Clip-in gal, or a Power Pony babe?
One of the first things to consider when colour matching hair extensions is which product you’re ultimately looking to purchase. As tones and dimensions in hair can look significantly different when wearing hair down, as opposed to hair being tied up into a ponytail - your usual shade may differ depending on the hair extension product you decide to buy.
For example, if your hair is honey blonde with strong highlighted tones and is primarily worn down, you would need to select a multi-tonal shade which matches and blends in seamlessly with your lighter mid-lengths and ends.
However, any darker tones or root regrowth may be more visible when hair is tied back into a sleek ponytail or bun - therefore if purchasing any of our wraparound or up-do hair extension products, you’d need to choose a shade which blends in with your darker tones for a seamless transition between your natural hair and the LullaBellz extensions.

Hair Extensions.. as desserts?!
Yep, you read that right! To simplify our vast array of shades which feature in our colour chart, we’ve assigned each individual hue to a well-known food/household item which is almost identical in colour.
Screen resolutions can dramatically alter the way a colour appears on your laptop or phone device, so comparing our shades to items you may already be familiar with makes the process 100x easier! So, if your hair colour resembles the shade of liquorice sweets, then Jet Black is for you. Locks look more like butterscotch ice cream? Check out Champagne Blonde for your dreamy hair match.

So you’ve viewed our colour chart, and you’re still a lil’ unsure on your perfect match? We’ve got you.
It’s super easy, take some images of your hair in natural daylight (outdoors is best, or near a window where natural light will shine through), showing the full length of your hair from root to tip for the most accurate result.Artificial lighting, filters and close-up images are tricky for us to match, as they will portray your hair in a different light, so it’s always best to adhere to our colour matching advice. That way, we can match you first time perfectly without the fuss! Check out our example below for the perfect colour match..
