Clip-In Hair Extensions - Medium Brown #5 (US #6 Chestnut Brown)

#6 Chestnut Brown is a medium brown with a visible warm reflect: golden-red highlights that show in daylight and give the hair a glow rather than a flat brown finish. It sits between chocolate brown and auburn — clearly brown, never red. Each set is made from Slavic human hair with cuticles aligned in one direction, so the warm reflect stays even along the full length.

What #6 Chestnut Brown Looks Like

Indoors the shade reads as a warm medium brown. In sunlight, the strands pick up copper and golden tones, most noticeable at the ends and on curls. On camera, chestnut photographs warmer than it looks in person, so compare it with your hair in natural light rather than on a screen.

The warmth is what separates #6 from cooler browns. Next to neutral or ash brown hair it looks noticeably redder; next to warm brown, highlighted or color-treated hair it blends where a neutral shade would look dull.

Is #6 Your Shade?

Your hair	How #6 will look
Medium brown with a golden or copper glint in the sun	Exact match
Brown hair dyed in a warm shade (chestnut, mahogany, warm caramel)	Close match — compare with the faded ends, not fresh color at the roots
Light auburn or red-brown	Slightly browner than your hair; blends under the top layer
Neutral medium brown with no warmth in daylight	Will look redder — consider #4 Chocolate Brown
Ash brown or brown with gray-toned highlights	Too warm — send a photo for a shade recommendation

Matching #6 to Color-Treated Hair

Chestnut is one of the most common salon and box-dye shades, and dyed warm brown changes between appointments. Fresh color is deeper and redder; after several weeks the red pigment fades and the ends turn lighter and more golden.

• Match to the middle of your color cycle, not the week after coloring, when the tone is at its most intense.
• Darker natural roots are not a problem. Clips sit under your hair, so the extensions only need to match the lengths.
• Planning to go chestnut? A clip-in set lets you see the shade against your skin and wardrobe before committing to dye.

Clip-Ins for Fine Hair

All lengths — 18, 20 and 24 inches — come as a 150 g set. On fine hair, placement matters more than the number of pieces:

• Start with fewer wefts. You do not need to use every piece. The widest wefts across the back of the head add the most fullness; small side pieces can be left out if your hair cannot cover them.
• Keep the top section thick enough to hide the clips. Place the highest weft at least a few fingers below the crown and part line.
• Choose 18 or 20 inches. Shorter lengths blend more easily with fine hair, which tapers quickly at the ends.
• Backcomb lightly at the clip line to give the clips more hair to grip.

Keeping the Warm Reflect

With chestnut, the goal is to protect the warmth, not neutralize it. Care that works for cooler browns can work against #6:

• Skip blue and purple shampoos. They are designed to cancel warm tones and will dull the chestnut reflect.
• Rinse with cool water. It helps the cuticle lie flat, which is what makes the copper glint visible.
• Revive with a warm gloss. If the shade looks flat over time, a stylist can apply a copper or golden deposit-only gloss.
• Avoid lightening. Warm brown lightens toward orange, not blonde.

FAQ – #6 Chestnut Brown Clip-In Extensions

Is Chestnut Brown red?

No. It is a warm medium brown. The red and golden tones appear as a reflect in daylight, not as the base color.

What is the difference between #4 Chocolate Brown and #6 Chestnut Brown?

#4 is a deeper brown with a soft, muted undertone. #6 is lighter and noticeably warmer, with copper and golden highlights in sunlight.

My chestnut hair color fades between salon visits. Which stage should I match?

Match the faded-but-not-washed-out middle stage. Send a daylight photo on WhatsApp if you are unsure.

Do I need all the pieces in the set if my hair is fine?

No. Many people with fine hair wear only the wider wefts and leave out the small side clips.

Can I try the shade in person?

Yes. You can compare #6 with your hair at the Beverly Hills showroom at 350 N Canon Drive.
