Which Hair Colour should I choose?

First and foremost, the colour you choose should be a colour you feel comfortable in. All rules and trends are irrelevant if you don’t feel great with your colour. Feel free to use our tips as a guideline, but don't let them limit your choices.

Playing with hair colours, effects and shades of extensions is fun but also a great way to accentuate the natural undertones of your skin and the colour of your eyes. Finding the colour that is right for you might take some time. Here are some tips from our experts on how to find your perfect shade and true colour match.

Warm, cool, or neutral skin undertones?

Your skin undertone can be warm, cool, or neutral. If you have a warm undertone, then warm colours will suit you, like golden blonde and warm, beige tones. Cool undertones match well with cooler hair colours, such as ash blonde, black, or a cool brown shade. If you have a neutral undertone, you can wear most colours. Here are some tips to help you find out which skin undertone you have. And of course, you can wear any colour you like and feel good in, regardless of your undertone!

1. Look through your jewellery box, if you have mostly gold jewellery you are probably a “warm”-toned person. If you have mostly silver jewellery, then you are more likely a “cool”-toned person.

2. If you have a scarf or some material at home in warm/cool tones, then you can hold it up against your face and see which colour suits you most.

3. Check through your make-up, do you have warm or cool eye shadows? They can give you a good indication.

4. If you have lots of freckles or get freckles when in the sun, then you most likely have “warm” skin undertones. If your skin easily gets burned in the sun, you most likely have a cool undertone.

5. Another advice is to look at the veins of your wrist. If they look blue/purple, you have cool undertones. If they look green, you have warm undertones.

6. If you feel that it’s difficult to determine your skin undertone, you might have a neutral skin undertone.

Colour techniques

Do you have shifting colours, highlights or a root regrowth? We offer different colour techniques to suit your own hair in the best way possible!

Highlights

A hair coloring technique where strands of hair are lightened to create contrast and dimension. This method adds depth and brightness, enhancing the overall appearance by emphasizing certain sections of the hair.

Balayage

A freehand hair coloring technique where the color is painted directly onto the hair in a sweeping motion, creating a natural, sun-kissed effect. Unlike highlights, balayage offers a more blended, seamless transition between light and dark tones.

Solid

Solid colours give a uniform and sleek look as they consist of only one shade across the entire extension.

See all

Root

Root Colour involves a darker shade at the roots, gradually blending into a lighter color towards the tips. This technique mimics natural hair growth, providing a seamless, more natural look, especially for those who want to match their natural root color or enhance the depth at the scalp.

Colourmelt / Ombre

Ombre or Color Melt creates a smooth gradient, transitioning from dark at the roots to progressively lighter shades at the ends. The effect is a more dramatic, sun-kissed look, often used to add dimension and depth, giving the extensions a vibrant, blended appearance.

Things to consider when choosing a hair colour

Achieve a more natural looking result by mixing colours and shades of extensions. Highlights are created by combining your hair colour with a slightly lighter shade of hair. Match the colour to the tips of your hair or choose a shade that is one step lighter than your hair colour if you want a lighter look. Lowlights are created by attaching slightly darker shades of extensions than your hair colour. Place the sections at the back of your head or blend them in where you feel they are best suited.

If you are unsure what to choose, we recommend consulting with our customer service team or your hairdresser for tips and advice.

Think about how much time and money you want to spend on your hair after the treatment. Choosing red colours will mean that you may have to touch your hair up at home. If you want too much maintenance, then it’s best to choose a base colour that is as close to your own as possible. That way you also avoid any regrowth showing.

Colours might vary by hair quality

Rapunzel of Sweden’s extensions are made of real hair, so they act like real hair, but are also available in synthetic material, this means that the colour of your extensions will not always be exactly the same and may sometimes differ from the product images. The colour dyeing is done by hand, so our extensions are uniquely crafted. Colours may also differ between different hair qualities.
