Find the depth, tone and dimension that bring your blend together.
To match hair extension color online, start with clear photographs of the hair you want to blend with, then compare depth, undertone and dimension. Use our online swatches to create a shortlist. Refine the choice with the appropriate physical Bohyme Color Ring and your stylist before ordering your human hair extensions.
A thoughtful match considers the complete look: your color, the areas where the extensions will sit and the finish you wear most often.
Start with clear color-matching photographs
Photograph the back, both sides, and the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Use indirect daylight and a neutral background, keeping the lighting consistent. Leave filters off so your stylist can see the color and edges of the hair clearly.
Show your usual finish and explain any color service planned before installation. If your natural hair will be lightened, darkened or toned first, ask your stylist when the extension shade should be confirmed.
Compare depth, undertone and dimension separately
A shade can look close in depth but still feel different beside your hair. Separating these three questions helps you explain what needs refining.
| Consideration | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Depth | How light or dark each candidate appears beside your hair. |
| Undertone | Whether it reads warmer, cooler or more neutral. |
| Dimension | The distribution of highlights, blends and root transitions. |
Should hair extensions match your roots or your ends?
Look at the areas that will be visible together. Your darkest root is one part of the picture; the mid-lengths and ends may need a different comparison.
For example, if you have darker roots and lighter lengths, bring photographs of both. Your stylist can assess whether one shade, a rooted option or a planned combination will support the placement and finished style.
The aim is to coordinate the transition with your own hair. Compare the full effect before buying, rather than choosing solely from the darkest section.
Use the right Bohyme color chart and ring
Explore our Bohyme Color Chart and Color Guide to distinguish solid shades, blends, highlights, roots and ombre effects. Then keep the exact collection and product with your shortlist.
For Ethos hair extensions, use the Ethos Color Chart and the appropriate physical ring. For Luxe or another Bohyme collection, confirm the corresponding reference. A familiar shade number from another brand is useful context, rather than a guaranteed conversion.
Compare your shortlist under the same light
Place each candidate beside the same section of natural hair, under the same lighting. Ask your stylist to identify the difference: depth, warmth, coolness or the distribution of lighter strands.
Move between a close view and the overall silhouette. A shade may look convincing on a small section but need a different approach through the full lengths and ends.
Choose the right starting shade
We do not recommend dye, toner or bleach on our extensions. Our Hair Care Guide explains the alteration guidance. Resolve an uncertain match before installation rather than buying a shade with the plan to chemically change it.
Make texture part of the color decision
Review the selected shade in the texture you plan to wear. Waves, curls and a smooth finish present the hair differently, so discuss the color and the finished style together.
Use our Style & Texture Comparison and Hair Length Guide to bring that plan into focus. If you are choosing French Refined, confirm the version within the collection as well as the shade.
Before you confirm your order
- Approve the matching target: confirm your natural-hair color plan and desired finish.
- Record the full specification: collection, complete shade code, construction, texture and length.
- Confirm quantity: review the selected product's pack weight and contents with your stylist.
- Check the reference: compare the appropriate physical color ring whenever possible.
- Review the delivered hair: follow the seller's opening conditions and raise discrepancies before altering or installing.
For professional hair extension services, a complete written specification keeps the color choice connected to the hair your stylist plans to use. Our Collection Comparison can help you review the range.
Your color questions, answered.
Can I get an exact hair extension color match from a photo?
A photograph helps create a shortlist, but lighting, camera processing and screen settings can change appearance. Refine the choice with a suitable physical reference and your stylist.
Should extensions match roots or ends?
Consider the sections that will be visible together. Have your stylist assess the roots, lengths, ends and planned placement as one color design.
How do I choose between warm and cool shades?
Compare candidates beside the same section of your hair under the same light. Ask your stylist which undertone supports the blend, rather than judging shades on separate screens.
Can I tone extensions if the shade is close?
We do not recommend dye, toner or bleach on our extensions. Choose the right starting shade and review our care guidance before installation.
How many packs will I need in my chosen shade?
The quantity depends on the method, starting hair, desired length and fullness, and the product’s pack contents. Have your stylist calculate the order from the current product details.
Where should I buy Bohyme hair extensions?
Work with an authorized Bohyme retailer or your stylist. Our store locator helps you find authorized sources for product and ordering guidance.
