How to Choose the Right Shade and Length from Portia & Alexa

Finding the perfect Tape Hair Extensions isn’t just about quality—it’s also about selecting the right shade and length to blend seamlessly with your natural hair. Portia & Alexa make this process easier by offering a wide variety of shades and lengths in their 100% Remy human hair tape extensions. Still, choosing the right match is key to achieving a flawless, natural look. Here’s a simple guide to help you find your perfect fit.

Start with Your Natural Hair ColorWhen choosing a shade, always match to the mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair, not the roots. Roots are often darker and may not reflect the overall tone of your hair. Portia & Alexa offer a wide range of shades, from jet black to ash blonde, warm brunettes to icy silvers, and even balayage blends. Their multi-tonal coloring system allows the extensions to blend with natural highlights and lowlights, giving you a realistic finish even if your hair isn't a single tone.

Use Natural Light for AccuracyTo pick the most accurate color, examine your hair in natural daylight. Artificial lighting can distort color tones, making it harder to match. If you're unsure, Portia & Alexa’s customer service often provides color-matching assistance—you can send in a photo of your hair and get expert guidance.

Custom Toning If NeededSince the extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair, they can be custom toned or dyed by a professional if you need a closer match. This flexibility means you’re not limited to what’s in the box—you can adapt the extensions to fit your exact hair tone.

Choosing the Right LengthPortia & Alexa offer a variety of lengths, typically ranging from 18 to 26 inches. Your ideal length depends on both your height and your current hair length. For a subtle length boost, choose extensions only a few inches longer than your natural hair. For a dramatic transformation, go for something longer—but be mindful that longer extensions can feel heavier and may require more styling.

If you're petite or have fine hair, sticking to 18 or 20 inches may give you the most natural effect. If you want a full glam look with cascading layers, 22 to 26 inches will give that luxurious length.

Blend and TrimOnce your extensions are installed, visit a stylist for a blending trim. This ensures the extensions flow naturally with your own hair, especially around the face and ends.

Choosing the right shade and length from Portia & Alexa is all about thoughtful matching and personalization. With their premium quality and shade variety, achieving that perfect, natural look has never been easier.
