    Colour Terminology Buster

    Quite often in the hair and beauty industry technical language is used to describe products and shades. This is all well and good if you are trained to understand these words but for the everyday extension wearer it can be quite confusing! We’ve simplified some common colour terminology below to help you understand our descriptions, this could also help you when explaining to your stylist how you want your colour to look. 

    • Undertones - Subtle tones underneath the hair surface that influence the overall colour.
    • Warm - Gold/Red undertones.
    • Golden - Yellow/Orange undertones.
    • Brassy - When the hair is too yellow or orange.
    • Ashy - Cooler/grey/silver undertones.
    • Highlights - A dying technique that adds lighter streaks to the hair in many different formats. Sometimes in foils, freehand painted or through a cap, does not touch the scalp which is what gives a more natural finish and less harsh regrowth.
    • Lowlights - A dying technique that adds darker streaks to the hair in different formats. Sometimes in foils, freehand painted or pulled through a cap.
