Are you unsure about the color of your extensions?
Choosing the wrong color of extensions can completely ruin your look. Too light, and you'll look washed out. Too dark, and your face will appear closed off. But with the right advice, you can find THE color that brightens your complexion and enhances your natural beauty.
In this expert guide, discover how to choose the perfect hair extension color according to your skin tone, eyes, and personal style.
Why the Color of Your Extensions Is Important
The color of your hair directly influences:
- The radiance of your complexion – A good color illuminates, a bad one dulls
- The intensity of your gaze – Certain shades make your eyes stand out
- Your confidence – When the color is perfect, you feel it immediately
- Your presence in photos – The right colors instantly make you stand out
With our 100% natural Raw Hair extensions, you can even color or bleach them to adjust the shade exactly to your needs.
Determine Your Skin Undertone
Before choosing your color, identify your undertone. This is THE key to never making a mistake.
Test #1: Wrist Veins
Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist under natural light:
- Green veins → Warm undertone (gold, yellow, peach)
- Blue/purple veins → COOL undertone (pink, red, bluish)
- Blue-green veins → NEUTRAL undertone (everything suits you!)
Test #2: Gold or Silver?
Which metal suits you best?
- Gold → Warm subtone
- Silver → COLD undertone
- Both → Neutral undertone
Test #3: Pure White or Off-White?
Bring a pure white garment and an off-white/ivory garment close to your face:
- Off-white illuminates you → Warm undertone
- Pure white illuminates you → COOL undertone
The Best Colors for Warm Skin Tones
Do you have warm undertones? Here are your winning colors:

- Honey Blonde #18 – Brings warmth and natural brightness
- Golden Brown #4 – Warms the complexion without weighing it down

The 3 Mistakes to Absolutely Avoid
Mistake #1: Choosing a Color Too Far From Your Base Color
The problem: Too strong a contrast between your roots and your extensions creates an artificial effect.
The solution: Stay within a range of 2-3 shades maximum of your natural color, or opt for highlights that create a natural transition.
Mistake #2: Ignoring Your Undertone
The problem: A beautiful color on someone else can give you a grayish or yellowish complexion.
The solution: Test your undertones before ordering. Our Raw Hair extensions can be recolored if needed.
Mistake #3: Neglecting Color Maintenance
The problem: Even the best extensions can lose their shine without proper care.
The solution: Use sulfate-free shampoos, protect from the sun, and moisturize regularly with natural oils.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix two colors of extensions?
Yes! Mixing two similar shades (e.g., #1B and #2) creates natural dimension. It's a pro technique for an ultra-realistic result.
My natural hair color has changed, should I change my extensions?
Not necessarily! If your roots have darkened or lightened, you can either recolor your Raw Hair extensions, or opt for highlights that create a natural transition.
Do the extensions retain their color in the sun?
Like your natural hair, extensions can lighten slightly in the sun. Protect them with a UV spray and a hat to preserve the color.
What color should I choose for a wedding or event?
Stay close to your natural color for a harmonious result in photos. Subtle highlights (#2/613, #4/613) add brightness without an artificial effect.
