Highlighted or mixed shade hair extensions are one of the most popular color varieties that you can find. Many people prefer to have a blend of tones and colors in their hair rather than one block shade, as it tends to have a more natural finish and is less upkeep. You can find assortments of 2 or 3 different shades in highlighted clip-in hair extensions which also tend to be easier to match with tricky hair colors. Here at Cliphair, we have over 17 highlighted hair extensions combinations that range from brown hair with blonde highlights, very dark brunette mixes, and extra light ashy blonde combinations.
Color 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 color terminology below to help you understand our descriptions, this could also help you when explaining to your stylist how you want your color to look.
- Undertones - Subtle tones underneath the hair surface that influence the overall color.
- 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.

FAQS
How To Match Hair Extensions With Highlights?
It's easier to match to hair extensions when you have highlighted hair as you have a few different tones to work with. We always recommend matching to the ends as this is where the hair extensions will blend with your own hair. Here at Cliphair, we have a FREE color matching service run by experts who can help you find your perfect highlighted hair extensions.
Can You Highlight Hair Extensions?
No. You should never try to lighten or bleach hair extensions as it will severely damage the hair and decrease its life span. With over 60 shades to choose from, you shouldn’t need to create your own colors at home. We also provide a free tracked returns/exchange process if you need to swap your colors.
What Shade Of Highlights Goes With Dark Brown Hair?
Auburn, caramel, and chocolatey tones go extremely well with dark brown hair. Using these shades to add highlights gives the hair a very natural, sunkissed finish. There’s no need to use any dye on your hair to achieve this look as you can create it with hair extensions. The beauty of highlighted clip-in hair extensions is that you can add/remove your highlights anytime you want!
