Care instructions
Remove your extensions and gently brush through. Fill a sink with lukewarm water and submerse the extensions into the sink, keeping hold of the top section where the clips are. Apply a mild shampoo to the extensions and gently work this in, ensuring all hair is clean. Rinse under the tap to remove the shampoo, then use a deep conditioner to hydrate the hair.
Softly massage the conditioner in and leave for 2 - 3 minutes. Comb through the extensions and rinse off the conditioner. Gently towel dry the extensions to remove excess water and leave them to dry naturally.
We do not recommend using a hair dryer on Stranded Heat Resistant Hair as this will damage the fibres. Heated styling tools are suitable up to 180°C. However, it is not possible to completely re-style the hair.

Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 466 reviews.
For £1, this sample is 100% worth it. The shade Sunrose (#33/30) is a warm, rich auburn with soft coppery tones running through it. It’s not flat at all — you can see subtle dimension between the deeper brown-red and lighter warm strands, which would blend nicely if your hair has natural warmth.
Seeing it in person makes such a difference compared to online photos. In normal indoor lighting, it pulls warm and glossy without looking overly bright or artificial. The strand itself feels soft and smooth, so you get a realistic idea of the texture too.
Obviously, it’s just a small swatch, so you can’t judge fullness or thickness — but that’s not what it’s for. It does exactly what it’s meant to: helps you avoid buying the wrong shade.
⭐ 5/5 for value — such an easy, low-risk way to colour match properly.
For just £1, this colour sample is such a useful buy. The shade Primrose (#30) is a warm light auburn with soft copper and golden tones running through it. It looks rich and glossy without being too red, making it a great option if you want warmth and brightness without going full copper.
In person, the tone looks natural and dimensional rather than flat, which helps it blend more seamlessly with real hair. Under indoor lighting it appears softly warm and shiny, and the strand itself feels smooth and realistic, giving a good preview of the extension texture.
As expected, it’s only a small swatch, so you can’t judge thickness or overall fullness — but it does exactly what it’s meant to do: help you colour match confidently before committing.
⭐ 5/5 for value — an easy, low-cost way to avoid choosing the wrong shade.
Ordered a whole bunch of samples so I could color match the girls on my cheerleading team! Shipping was quick, product/samples came as expected. The only thing I would have loved is the option to buy a ring with ALL the colors versus ordering them one-by-one for the full color spectrum. The individual colors are great if you’re between 1 or 2 options, but an all-in-one would be great for teams/studios who need the full range.
We’re excited to order our ponies next!!
The sample colours are a brilliant and very cost effective way to try other shades, before making your main purchase.
At only £1 each, you are able to order a number of shades to compare, enabling you to make the correct choice.
Colour swatches were so useful and I'm really glad that I selected a couple as I would definitely have bought the wrong colour. Caramel Cosmos is the perfect match. Can't wait for my delivery to arrive
"I am thrilled to share that after much trial and error, my hair extension from Stranded turned out to be a perfect match! I couldn't be happier with the result. Stranded products have always been my go-to, and once again, they haven't let me down."
Bought the strand testers as I was looking for extensions for my wedding and was worried as I have quite a few different colours in my hair, but they literally couldn’t be more of a perfect match! The hair feels lovely too, looking forward to ordering my full set!
I love my ash moon extensions so much I’ve just bought the mum bun for my birthday night out, they brush through perfectly and don’t get all tangled, perfect if you only wear them to go out and can be washed and dried!
Thank you stranded A*
I love it!! I ordered a few samples before ordering the actual hair piece but I’m in love!! Was nervous incase it didn’t look real or was a bit tricky to put in but omg it’s as easy as putting a bobble in. About to go and order a ponytail!
Vanilla Bomb, perfect match! I find it so hard to latch my hair, and this is perfect. Plan to get the 18 inch next, although for now the 16inch does a great job
I have been buying from stranded for years. I can't recommend them enough. I always get the perfect colour match no matter my hair colour.
I highly recommend the mum bun. Game changer.
Perfect colour match I brought in size 14 I brought human hair and the fibre flicky one.
I’ve been purchasing so many from stranded and they never disappoint, top quality hair. I’ve brought them along with me on holiday, perfect for nights out. I’ve had so many people compliment me they believe it’s my own hair. Ladies go grab your stranded hair now! If you’re unsure of colour get a colour match done and get a few samples in that range and see. They are very very professional and very helpful.
Highly recommend
Gorgeous hairfillers. So easy to put in. They are lightweight and soft. Really pleased to have found my perfect match! Hope Stranded can add to the variety of hairfillers in the near future. It would also help others if they were stocked in all the sample shades too.
I found it hard to get a match, but I eventually found the colour Iris, which was a 90% match. The girls were great in helping me get the right colour.
The bun arrived on time, took me a few times to get the hang of putting it on but it's super easy now I know how. It looks 100% real. Would recommend.
I was unsure about a scrunchie bun as my hair is very short, but l can grab enough hair to tie up. I thought it would look obvious it was a hair piece, but it looked good. I just need a couple of hair grips, which holds all day. I think l will try the clip in extensions next. Definitely recommend and will be buying from again. 5 star from me.
Samples delivered quickly which allowed me to realise I needed a different colour . I ended up buying sweetheart curly single piece clip in and cutting to my preferred length .
I always use stranded and will continue to recommend their products .
Love it! Sent for 3 colour samples and Coral belles was perfect! Was very easy to put on and looks and feels like my hair. Going to be getting another piece very soon.
Camelia is great if you need a mix of blonde tones. I separated the clips and flattened the sample piece to make it easier to hold against the head. Great speedy service and the swatches are brilliant to help you decide what to go for :)
Fab samples and a generous amount too ! If you remove the plastic tag it's easier to clip the flattened strands into your hair to see which one blends best (tag just snaps apart). I think iris is the best match for me at the moment (I change blonde shades often depending on the seasons lol). Think I will try a mum bun for my first order..
