One of the most important steps in achieving natural results with hair fibres is choosing the correct shade. Even the best fibres in the world will not look convincing if the colour does not match your natural hair. The good news? With a little guidance, selecting the right shade is simple — and it makes all the difference to your confidence.
Hair fibres are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing hair. When the shade is right, the fibres bond electrostatically to each strand and create the illusion of fuller, thicker coverage. A perfect match ensures no visible contrast between your hair and the fibres, making the finish look natural rather than artificial.
Always match fibres to the colour of your roots rather than the ends of your hair. Roots tend to be darker and provide the base shade that frames your overall look. Matching fibres to this area ensures they blend where it matters most.
Hair is rarely just one shade. It often includes subtle highlights, undertones, or areas that are slightly lighter or darker. If you’re deciding between two shades, we recommend choosing the slightly darker option — it tends to create better coverage and looks more natural when blended.
If you have some grey hair, the best approach depends on your preference. To maintain a natural salt-and-pepper effect, choose a shade close to your natural darker colour and allow the greys to show through. If you prefer full coverage, you can use fibres to mask greys by selecting a tone that closely matches your dyed or intended hair colour.
The way your hair looks in natural light can be slightly different from indoor lighting. When choosing your shade, check your hair colour in daylight as well as under artificial light. This will help you get a better sense of which tone will look most accurate across different settings.
For some people, especially those with highlighted or multi-tonal hair, the best results come from blending two shades together. Applying a base shade with a lighter or darker tone on top can replicate natural highlights and add depth.
