Color Ring

The Drop Dead Color Ring offers a convenient way for stylists to find the perfect canvas for their client’s transformation. Featuring our proprietary palette, built for artists, each of the tabs contains about 12 inches x 2.5 inches of hair and is housed on the solid metal carabiner, allowing for easy addition of colors as new colors are released.

Gone are the days of random names for extension colors, as all colors are names according to level, tone, and color placement style.

Color Key

Drop Dead colors are named according to the language of stylists: level and tone. Numbers represent the level, while letters indicate the tone. Letters in parenthesis indicate the color style.

Numbers 1 through 10 represent the level, while the following letters represent the tone:

N = Natural

V= Violet

S= Silver

R = Red

B = Brown

C= Copper

G = Gold

Letters within parenthesis represent style of color placement:

(R)  = Rooted

The "R" within parenthesis indicates “rooted”, and the subsequent number indicates the root color. All Drop Dead colors have a shallow 0.5” root color, to a beautifully seamless 4.5” melt. This allows artists the freedom to bring the root color down when customization is needed, or leave as is. All rooted colors are considered “Balayages”, the R with the subsequent number is to add clarity around what the root color of the bundle is.

(B) = Balayage

Balayage indicates that the bundle contains a root color that is seamlessly melted into one, two, or three other color combinations. Each color combination is a 10mm wide across the weft, giving a highlight/lowlight look for dimension, sometimes also considered a piano.

*In essence, rooted and balayage essentially are always used together to describe the hair. So for example, the color option “(R) 1N - (B) 2N/3N/4N” would be interpreted as a bundle that has a root color 1 natural, into a balayage (melt) tri-color piano blend of level 2 natural, level 3 natural, and level 4 natural. Each color is 10mm in width, creating a dimensional highlight/lowlight look.

(SS) = Seam Shade

Seam shade indicates that the seam color of the weft is different than the hair color itself. Because many artists custom color blonde hair to other colors, and the polyurethane seam of the SuperWeft does not easily absorb color, we created a Seam Shade, which means the seam is pre-colored. The number following the (SS) indicates the color of the polyurethane seam, while the number and letter after the dash indicate the color and tone of the hair.

*So for example, the color option (SS)1 - 10N would indicate that the hair bundle has a level 1 (black) polyurethane seam, and the hair is color 10N. The color option (SS)5 - 10N would indicate that the hair bundle has a level 5 (medium brown) polyurethane seam, and the hair is color 10N.
