Why Shade Selection Matters

The difference between an obvious hair fiber application and one that looks completely natural often comes down to one thing: choosing the right shade. Even the best quality hair fibers will look unnatural if the shade doesn't match your hair properly.

With Halo Fibers' 9 natural shades, you have the flexibility to find your perfect match—or even blend shades for a custom color.

Pro Tip

Always match your hair color at the roots, not the ends. Hair at the roots is typically darker and less sun-damaged, giving you a more accurate match.

5 Expert Shade Matching Tips

1. When In Doubt, Go Slightly Darker

If you're between two shades, choosing the slightly darker option usually looks more natural. Hair fibers applied to thinning areas create density, which naturally appears a bit darker than individual hair strands.

2. Match Your Roots, Not Your Ends

Your hair ends are often lighter due to sun exposure and styling. Always match the color at your roots for the most natural blend.

3. Consider Mixing Shades

Many customers achieve their perfect match by mixing two shades. Try applying a darker shade to the roots and a lighter shade to areas with more sun exposure. This mimics natural hair dimension beautifully.

4. Test in Natural Light

Always check your shade match in natural daylight, not just indoor lighting. Artificial light can distort color perception.

5. Account for Wet vs. Dry Hair

Hair appears darker when wet. Choose your shade based on your dry, styled hair color for the most accurate match.
