Buying hair extensions can be a nightmare especially if you have multi-coloured hair. If you have highlights and / or lowlights, finding an exactly colour match can be virtually impossible. Not only do you have to consider the hair colour but you need to decide if you want a one piece clip in or multiple piece clip in and if you want synthetic or human hair.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both, but if you want to be able to style e.g. straighten / curl the hair, then you may want to go for human hair. These can be a little more expensive but tend to last longer.

If you are buying online then colour matching is even harder as you have to go off the pictures provided and unfortunately the colours don’t look like they do on the picture. Ideally use a retailer that someone you know has used before and if at all possible send them a picture of your hair for them to colour match for you.
