At The London Hair Lab, we're committed to producing better blends. Our C Series is a collection of multi-tonal shades, mixes worked through the strand to create dimensional, true-to-life results for stylists looking to create natural-looking hair extensions. Where our base shades give you a single depth to build on, these bring the dimension. Spanning 24 shades from C1 to C26, the collection is designed to mimic hand-painted colour, with our three newest shades, C24 Pearl, C25 Mojave and C26 Taylor, extending the range further into cool, bright and sandy blonde territory.
A base shade is a single natural depth. These are colourists' blends, multiple tones worked through the strand so the hair reads as lived-in, dimensional colour rather than a flat block. It's what lets you recreate a balayage, a root melt or a sun-kissed lived-in blonde. Each shade holds its own graduation, so even before you blend a second tone, the hair already moves and catches the light the way natural, hand-painted colour does.

If you're building your core stock, these are the shades our stylists reach for most:
- C10 Baby: a bright, warm blonde; our most-fitted shade in the collection.
- C20 Beam: a rooted blonde with a soft, grown-out root.
- C5 Haze: a highly multi-tonal, cool ashy blonde.
- C16 Penny: a rooted mid-blonde melting into brighter lengths.
- C9 Gloss: a clean bright blonde.
All five sit in the blonde-to-rooted family, a clear signal of where demand is strongest, and a reliable starting stock for most salons.
Because every shade is multi-tonal to begin with, layering two or three together lets you build genuinely bespoke, dimensional colour. Here's how stylists are blending them:
- ZRB Hair, C12 + C18 + C24, K-Tip: a bright, cool multi-tonal blonde built from three ashy tones.
- Peter Mark, C1 + 1B, Tapes: a deep, glossy brunette grounded with a natural base.
- Suzanne Royle, C18 + C20, Tapes: a rooted blonde melting from soft depth into bright, lived-in lengths.
- Tyler Jade, C13 + W10, Tapes: a warm, sun-kissed bronde with a natural grown-out root.
Same foundation, four very different results, from high-clarity blonde to deep brunette, showing just how far a well-chosen blend can stretch.
Not every shade is offered in every method, so it's worth knowing what's available where when you're building stock:
- Keratin Tip: all 24 shades, the complete collection.
- I-Tip: all 24 shades, the complete collection.
- Tape: 17 shades.
- Weft: 13 shades.
- Clip-In: 8 shades.
Keratin Tip and I-Tip carry the full range, so if you work primarily in either method, you have every shade to blend from.
Because every shade is already multi-tonal, you can blend two, or layer one over a base, to fine-tune a bespoke match and build even more dimension for each client. Many of the looks our stylists pair a blended shade with a base or W-series tone to ground the root.
With 24 multi-tonal shades and over 55 across the full range, you have what you need to recreate virtually any lived-in colour, ready-blended and true to life. It's why over 950 salons and stylists worldwide choose The London Hair Lab for their extension work.
