How to Make Your Own Color

This week’s Recipe of the Week is a little different. Instead of a blend, it’s about making a color that doesn’t exist yet.

Since we’re a small business we can’t carry every single shade, so when I need in-between tones.. I make my own.

This week, I mixed black with light brunette and it created a dark brunette! This is something I do allll the time and I wanted to share this trick with you too! 

🌀 This Week’s Recipe

See the blend here!

✶ Black
✶ Light Brunette

Blend them together and you get a rich dark brunette. If you pull apart each strand, you see the brunette and black.. but mixed together it creates an optical illusion

Why This Matters

Half Sweet has a lot of colors, but there will always be a very specific shade someone wants. Instead of waiting for the perfect color to exist, you can just make it!

These extensions are silky and easy to manage, which means they blend together really cleanly without fighting you. You’re not stuck using colors exactly as they come out of the pack - you can build your own!

Other Color Ideas You Can Try

Once you start thinking this way, you realize how many options you actually have.

Want a mermaid green?
✶ Mix Space Cadet (navy) + Place to Be (teal)

Want a brighter neon green?
✶ Mix Neon Yellow + Aquachobee (baby blue)

Want something softer?
✶ Try mixing a brighter shade with a neutral to tone it down.

Small adjustments can completely change how a braid looks.

The Takeaway

You don’t have to wait for the exact shade you want to exist. You can make it.

Half Sweet colors are meant to be mixed, adjusted, and experimented with. That’s part of the fun. Once you start customizing your extensions, you realize how many possibilities you actually have.
