How to Choose Your Hair Extension Color
How to Get Your Hair Extension Color Right
A well-matched shade is the difference between "you can tell these are extensions" and "that's just her hair." Here's how to nail it, every time.
her flow Color Ring — 24 Shades
Hold it up to your hair in natural daylight and see exactly which shade matches — no screen guesswork. Keep it forever for future touch-ups, or rent it if you just need to check once.
How to Check Your Match
Compare at the ends
Not the roots — ends are usually lighter and sit right next to your extensions.
Use daylight
Check near a window in the daytime — indoor bulbs and LEDs distort the true shade.
Two tones? Go ombre
Regrowth plus lightened ends? An ombre or balayage shade mimics that transition.
Mix a few shades
You're not limited to one color on your head — blending 2–3 shades creates a natural, three-dimensional look instead of one flat tone.
A Look at the Range
The her flow palette spans deep naturals through to the lightest blondes, plus rooted, ombre and balayage finishes.

You Don't Need a 100% Match
The most natural, dimensional results rarely come from one "perfect" shade. They come from deliberately blending 2–3 close tones from the same color family — the way hair actually looks in sunlight. It's a technique professional stylists use, and you have full access to it without leaving home.
How Many Packs Do You Need?
| Goal | Tape (packs) | Keratin (packs) | Weft (pieces) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Length — fine hair | 3+ | 3+ | 1–2 |
| Length — medium hair | 4–5 | 4–5 | 2–3 |
| Length — thick hair | 6+ | 6+ | 3–4 |
| Volume at the hairline | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Volume, full length | 2–3 | 2–3 | 1–2 |
General starting point based on our her flow pack weights — tape ~20–25 g/pack, keratin 25 g (25 strands) per pack, weft 55–70 g per piece. Your natural hair density and the exact look you're after can shift this, so treat it as a starting point rather than an exact order size; weft pieces are often trimmed and split into more than one row during application.
