How to Take Better Color Match Photos
Do
- Stand near a window or outside in soft natural daylight
- Keep your hair down and smooth
- Show the mid-lengths and ends clearly
- Take front, side, and back photos
- Use clear photos with no filters
Avoid
- Car photos
- Warm yellow indoor lighting
- Harsh direct sun
- Flash photography
- Heavy editing or beauty filters
Small note: Your roots do not always tell the full story. For extensions, the mid-lengths and ends usually matter more.
Match Your Shade at Home
You do not always need to guess. Start by looking at the tones already in your own hair.
Step 1
Check Your Undertone
Look at your hair in natural light and focus on the middle and lower part of the hair, not only the roots.
Warm undertones
Your hair may show golden, honey, caramel, chestnut, or soft red tones.
Cool undertones
Your hair may show ash, beige, smoky, or cooler brown tones.
Neutral undertones Your hair sits somewhere in between. It does not pull too warm or too cool.
Step 2
Choose a Shade Family
Once you know your undertone, it becomes easier to choose where to start.
For warm hair
Look at warmer browns, soft golden blondes, caramel shades, and highlighted tones with warmth.
For cool hair
Look at ash blondes, cooler brunettes, neutral browns, and shades without too much golden warmth.
For neutral hair You usually have more flexibility. Both soft warm and soft cool shades can work, depending on the final look you want.
Step 3
Compare More Than One Shade
Hair color is rarely just one flat tone. Even natural black or dark brown can carry soft warmth, slight dimension, or lighter ends.
Instead of asking, “What is my exact shade?” ask, “Which shade will blend best into the overall look of my hair?”
This is especially helpful if your hair has:
- darker roots and softer ends
- old color left on the lengths
- highlights or face-framing pieces
- sun-lightened sections
Between Two Shades? Here’s the Better Move
If you are stuck between two colors, do not rush.
Start with the shade that feels closest to your mid-lengths and ends. That usually creates the most natural blend. In many cases, a slightly softer or lighter-looking blend is easier to work with than a shade that turns too dark or too flat.
You can also contact the Macsara Hair team before placing your order if you want extra guidance.
Check Before Full Install
When your order arrives, compare the hair to your own before fully wearing or customizing it.
Hold the extension hair near the mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair in good lighting. Make sure the overall tone feels right before moving forward.
This idea also appears on the sample page, where they advise customers to compare the shade carefully before committing to use or install.
Small note: A good match does not need to be identical strand by strand. It just needs to blend beautifully in real life.
