Colour is where most inventory money gets trapped. This guide shows how to cover demand with fewer SKUs and colour safely in-house.
How Colour Numbering Works
Extension shades follow a level system: 1 (jet black) through 613 (lightest blonde). Natural Indian hair usually sits between 1B and 4. Anything lighter has been lifted, which is why lift quality depends on the grade of the base hair.
The Core Shade Set
- 1B natural black — the global volume shade.
- 2 / 4 brown — covers most European and Latin markets.
- 613 blonde base — tone in-house to any blonde on demand.
- One local best-seller specific to your market.
Four shades handle the majority of demand. Adding fifteen fashion colours ties cash into slow inventory.
Custom Colour: Ombré, Balayage, Highlights
Factory custom colour makes sense at volume: consistent placement across a run, no salon chair time, no in-house colour risk. Below wholesale volumes, buying a 613 base and toning locally is usually faster and cheaper.
Colouring Extensions Without Damage
- Strand test first, always.
- Use the lowest developer volume that achieves the lift (10–20 vol where possible).
- Never lift more than two levels in one pass.
- Deep condition immediately after processing.
- Air-dry after colouring; skip heat for 48 hours.
Hair with the cuticle intact and no prior chemical processing tolerates lifting better; letter grades such as 13A–14A are vendor labels, not a standard, so ask for that definition in writing.

Yes. Suvita Hair is a manufacturer and exporter based in India and we accept personal-use orders from 1 piece. Personal-use buyers are quoted retail-use pricing with colour matching support and door-to-door express delivery worldwide. Select "Personal Use" when you enquire so we send the correct price list.

Wholesale pricing starts from 20 pieces, with deeper volume slabs at 50 and 100+ pieces. Distributors ordering 100+ pieces or committing to monthly shipments receive our best per-piece manufacturer rate. Order a sample first to verify quality before confirming a bulk order.
