Shade Matching Guide
Not sure which hair fibre shade to choose? Start with the area where the fibres will sit, usually your roots or the sparse-looking area.
The goal is simple: choose the shade that blends naturally into the area where you want fuller-looking coverage, not necessarily the colour of your lighter ends.
The Quick Shade Rule
Look at the area you want to cover.
Match the roots or sparse-looking area first.
Check your hair in natural light if possible.
Start with a small amount and build slowly.
Simple rule: if your roots look darker than your ends, choose the shade closest to your roots.
The Quick Answer
For the most natural-looking result, match your fibres to the area where they will sit, usually your roots or the sparse-looking area, not the lighter ends of your hair.
If you are new to hair fibres and want the easiest first setup, the Go Twenties Starter Kit gives you the main products and tools to apply, blend, and set your fibres with more control.
Start Where You Want Coverage
Look at the part of your hair where you will apply fibres most often. For many people, this is the root area, hairline, crown, part line, or any spot that looks a little thinner.
Roots
If fibres will sit near your scalp, choose the shade closest to your root colour.
Hairline
Use a light amount and choose the shade that blends softly into the front area.
Crown or part line
Compare the shade to the surrounding hair where the fibres will blend.
Match Your Roots, Not Your Ends
Hair ends can look lighter because of sun exposure, colouring, highlights, or styling. If you match the ends, fibres may look too light once applied near the scalp.
Choosing the shade closest to your roots usually gives a softer and more natural-looking blend.
Helpful tip: if your roots and ends are different colours, trust the roots. That is usually where fibres need to blend the most.
Check Your Hair in Natural Light
Bathroom lighting can make hair look warmer, darker, or more yellow than it really is. Before choosing your shade, check your hair near a window or outside in soft daylight if possible.
Use daylight
Soft natural light gives a more realistic view of your colour.
Avoid filtered photos
Filters, camera settings, and screen brightness can change how your hair colour appears.
Compare the right area
Look at the root or sparse-looking area, not only the ends.
If You Are Between Two Shades
Choose the shade that looks like it would disappear more naturally into the area you want to cover. A darker shade can create more contrast, while a lighter shade may look softer.
Choose slightly darker when...
Your roots are clearly darker and the fibres will sit close to the scalp.
Choose slightly lighter when...
Your hair is lighter brown, highlighted, sun-lightened, or you want a softer finish with less contrast.
Best approach: start with a small amount first, then add more only if needed.
If Your Hair Is Highlighted or Multi-Tonal
Focus on your base colour near the roots. You do not need to match every highlight perfectly.
When you apply lightly and blend, your highlights can still show through the overall style while the fibres help soften sparse-looking areas.

Shade Matching FAQs
How do I choose between two shades?
Compare both shades against the area where you will apply the fibres. The better choice is usually the one that blends into your roots or sparse-looking area without standing out.
Should I match my roots or my ends?
Match your roots or the area where the fibres will sit. Ends are often lighter, but fibres usually blend closer to the scalp.
Can I mix shades?
Yes, but we recommend starting with the closest single shade first. If you use two shades, apply lightly and build slowly so the finish still looks soft and natural.
What if my hair is highlighted?
Choose the shade closest to your base colour near the roots. Apply gradually so your highlights can still show through the overall look.
Can I choose my shade from a photo?
Photos can help, but they are not always exact because lighting, filters, camera settings, and screen brightness can change how your hair colour looks. If possible, compare your hair in natural light before choosing.
Should I get the Starter Kit?
If you are new to hair fibres, yes. The Go Twenties Starter Kit is a helpful choice because it gives you the products and tools to start applying, blending, and setting your fibres with more control.
What if the shade looks too noticeable?
Use less product, blend more lightly, and check the colour in natural light. A light first layer usually looks softer and more natural than applying too much at once.
