What is a crucial factor to consider while performing hair color matching for extensions?

When performing hair color matching for extensions, the health of the hair and the type of color used are paramount. This is because the condition of both the natural hair and the extensions can significantly affect how colors blend and appear when applied.

For instance, if the client's natural hair is damaged or has undergone extensive chemical treatments, this may influence how well the color takes and how it ultimately looks in comparison to the extensions. Likewise, knowing the color type is important, as various dye formulations may yield different results depending on whether the natural hair is porous, coarse, or fine.

Considering hair health ensures that any coloring process will not further damage the client’s hair. Hence, matching the hues appropriately between the extensions and the natural hair that is in optimal condition is critical to achieving a seamless look.
