Hair color isn’t just about light or dark—it’s about dimension, depth, and natural contrast. At Hairlaya, our collection of dimensional shades is designed to help stylists create movement-rich, blended looks that elevate every client’s hair game.
In this guide, we’re highlighting how to work with some of our most popular tones—#18 Chocolate Blonde, #613 Light Blonde, #P18/1001 Honey + Platinum Piano Blend, and #P2/8 Dark Brown + Dark Blonde Piano Blend—with pro techniques, matching advice, and trending style inspo.

#18 – Chocolate Blonde
A warm, golden brown-blonde hybrid that gives softness and depth. Ideal as a base tone or for subtle highlights on brunettes.

#P18/1001 – Piano Honey + Platinum Blend

Also made to be used independently, this natural brunette piano shade brings soft contrast and a rooted finish for an effortless dimensional look.
Who Looks Best in These Shades?
These tones suit a wide variety of clients and purposes:
For Clients Who Want Glow & Light
#18 and #613 are ideal for clients who want their hair to look sun-kissed, fresh, and bright without going platinum.
For Bold Contrast Lovers
#P18/1001 gives high visual impact and is perfect for layered or waved styles where you want the dimension to pop.
For Subtle Depth Seekers
#P2/8 is great for brunettes who want a natural, low-maintenance refresh with built-in tone variations.
For Neutral to Warm Skin Tones
These shades complement golden, peach, and olive undertones beautifully—making the overall look glow from root to tip.
Pro Tips for Creating Dimensional Color with Extensions:
Use Two Colors in One Row:
Alternate two different weft colors side-by-side in the same row (e.g., #18 + #613 or #P2/8 + #18) for instant visual movement.
Create a Highlighted Effect:
Try one weft of a highlight color and two wefts of a base color in a row. This keeps the overall tone grounded while letting the lighter shade pop through subtly.
Placement Matters:
Use lighter colors like #613 toward the face or ends to brighten, and deeper shades like #18 or #P2/8 for roots and depth.
Avoid Overmixing Piano Shades:
Piano shades like #P18/1001 and #P2/8 are designed to be used on their own. Adding another color may cancel out their intended dimensional pattern.
