Colour Matching Guide

Colour Matching Guide

At Horse Hair Extensions, every piece is lovingly handcrafted to order using the finest horse hair. Because each extension is made especially for you, we want to make sure you get the perfect colour match before we begin — so please take a moment to read through this guide carefully.

How to Choose the Right Colour

1. Photograph Your Horse's Hair in Natural Light

The most common cause of colour mismatch is photography in artificial or indoor lighting. For the most accurate colour comparison:

  • Take photos outdoors in natural daylight (avoid direct harsh sunlight)
  • Photograph the mane, tail, or the area where the extension will be placed
  • Take multiple photos from different angles
  • Avoid using filters or editing the photos

2. Compare Against Our Colour Swatches

Browse our colour options carefully and compare your photos against our swatch images. If you are unsure between two shades, consider which is closest to the roots of your horse's hair, as this tends to give the most natural blend.

3. See Our Colours in Action

We have put together a full colour swatch gallery on our Facebook page so you can see all our shades photographed in natural light. follow our facebook to see the shades here https://www.facebook.com/horsehairextensions

4. Consider the Season

Horse hair colour can change with the seasons — coats can lighten in summer and darken in winter. Please choose the shade that best matches your horse's hair at the time of ordering.

5. Still Not Sure?

If you are genuinely unsure about which shade to choose, please contact us before placing your order. We are happy to help you find the best match — just send us a clear photo in natural light and we will advise you.

Our No-Returns Policy

Because every extension is handcrafted to order specifically for you, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges. Each piece takes considerable time and skill to create, and once made, it cannot be resold.

We take colour matching very seriously and provide this guide, along with personal advice upon request, to help ensure you are completely happy with your choice before we begin making your order.

By placing an order, you confirm that you have read this colour guide and are satisfied with your colour selection. We strongly encourage you to reach out to us with any questions before ordering — we are always happy to help.

Thank you for understanding, and for supporting a small handmade business. We put our heart into every piece we create.
