Collection: Medium Brown Hair Extensions

About Medium Brown Hair Extensions

Shade overview
Medium brown sits in the center of brunette values and can lean neutral taupe, ash, mocha, golden, or caramel. Because it is mid tone, it blends widely and keeps soft dimension under daylight and office LEDs when inputs stay consistent.
Who this suits
If you want natural depth without the stark outline of black, medium brown is a calm daily option. It pairs with denim, creams, navy, olive, and soft pastels, supports minimal makeup, and blends with a wide range of brunette roots.
Formats at a glance
Clip ins change density quickly at home. Tape ins lie flat for predictable salon cycles. Wefts support sew in and beaded rows when you want structured silhouettes. Seamless clip ins hide edges under finer hair. One piece volumizers give quick crown lift.
Fabulive lists medium brown extension lengths, grams, and formats in simple tables so planning is direct.
Fiber quality and realism
Aligned cuticles in human hair keep color true in mixed light and allow controlled sheen. High grade strands tolerate low to medium heat, respond to micro trims at the hem, and hold pattern after a full cool. Synthetic blends skew shinier in warm lamps or overly matte outdoors, while human hair tracks closer to natural optics in this mid tone range.
Undertone map
Neutral taupe reads steady in most rooms. Ash resists orange under warm lamps. Mocha feels refined near white shirts and steel fixtures. Golden lifts with cream and tan. Caramel adds a honey edge at mid lengths. Choose undertone for the spaces you use most, not only the store lighting.
Finish target
Aim for satin with gentle depth. Heavy gloss can look artificial; ultra matte reads flat. Shape with one slow pass at low heat, let hair cool fully without touching, then brush once to merge strands into a calm surface.
Length by landmarks
Fabulive’s shade tiles show undertone in daylight from front and side, which speeds choosing between ash, mocha, golden, or caramel reads.
Fourteen inches touches the collar on many frames; sixteen sits at upper shoulder; eighteen at mid shoulder; twenty at upper back; twenty two at mid back; twenty four at lower back. Curves make the visual shorter; straight reads longest.
Density planning
Weight works like leverage at the neck. Daily builds often feel calm at ninety to one hundred twenty grams. Everyday fullness usually lands between one hundred twenty and one hundred fifty grams. Event builds may rise to one hundred sixty to two hundred grams if the base stays comfortable. Match hem density to crown density so the head reads as one unit.
Textures and behavior
Straight looks tailored and benefits from a micro bevel at the hem. Body wave hides micro joins and pairs with casual layers. Loose curls add volume without heavy grams and soften jawlines. Coily textures look authentic when coil size mirrors your pattern and rows protect edge health.
Coverage and seams
Medium brown forgives small gaps more than black but still prints stacked tops in profile. Stagger clip widths so tops do not form a shelf, space tape panels evenly and away from the hairline, and keep even tension with neat fold backs on wefts. Quiet seams sell realism better than layers of product.
When inches must match results, Fabulive provides clear length ladders and close hem shots so edge clarity is predictable before ordering.
Format selection
Pick clips for flexibility and fast removal. Choose tapes if you want flat panels and a predictable salon calendar. Choose wefts if you prefer row control and a stylist’s shaping. Any method reads natural when crown and hem density agree and attachment zones stay clean.
Hem integrity
Over-thin ends look unfinished in mid tones, especially in straight patterns. Order slightly longer and plan a micro trim so the edge closes. In waves and curls, a softer hem works because motion hides the last few millimeters.
Mount height choices
High mounts feel energetic and open the neckline; low mounts feel sleek and protect edges; mid mounts balance comfort and visibility. High increases pull, low can meet collars; pick one height for the day and keep it steady.
Base preparation
For care basics, Fabulive posts a concise wash routine and a do not soak the base reminder that fits real home use.
Install on clean, fully dry roots. Brush in the wear direction. Keep oils away from attachment zones. Build clip anchors that feel firm, clear residues for tapes, and set uniform beads for wefts. A stable base reduces adjustments later.
Mechanical checks
After install, run a slow head turn to feel slip, a small jump to check tug, and a jacket on or off test to see if seams shift. Fix mechanics first; finish comes after the base is quiet.
Heat and set discipline
Use low to medium heat. Shape with one slow pass, cool fully, then brush once. Avoid clamping heat across seams. For curls, clip to cool so definition holds with less temperature. Patience protects the mid tone sheen that makes medium brown look real.
Wash and dry routine
Wash when hair feels coated, not on a strict schedule. Use cool water and a gentle shampoo. Keep bond areas dry if your method requires. Condition mid lengths to ends, rinse clear, blot, and air dry flat so the outline stays true.
If you want rooted options or specific textures in medium brown, Fabulive’s product pages place root depth beside mid and end tones to make the join easy to picture.
Storage and rotation
Store clean, dry hair in a breathable pouch away from heat and sun. Label length, grams, texture, undertone, and last trim date. Rotate a lighter daily set with a heavier event set to spread wear across attachments.
Travel method
Choose compact patterns that pack neatly. Keep a small brush and two pins in a pouch. On long rides, coil hair forward to limit seat back friction. In hotels, use a window and a pale surface opposite as a bounce for steady color checks.
Wardrobe pairing
Medium brown likes denim, cream, soft grey, navy, olive, and tan. Optical white creates strong contrast; bone and oatmeal soften edges. Silver suits ash and mocha; gold suits caramel and golden. When outfits skew warm, a white tee near the face restores separation.
Makeup alignment
Tidy brows, gentle contour, and brown or plum liners pair well. Day looks carry soft rose or beige pink lips; evening looks carry berry, brick, or cocoa tones. Keep bronzer soft at the hairline to avoid an orange halo under cool LEDs.
Lighting controls
Pick one repeatable space for prep and photos. Daylight near a window gives honest color. Office LEDs vary and restaurants skew warm. Clean the lens, lock white balance if your phone allows, and take a profile still before posting to confirm tone and seam quiet.
Creator workflow
Fix mount height, light angle, and lens distance for repeat shoots. Mark a floor position and save a reference frame with exposure settings. Mid tones stay consistent when inputs do not drift.
Workday template
Set mid height, pick straight with a micro bevel or body wave, and keep grams moderate. Avoid oils at the base. Carry a tiny brush and two pins. A small routine done the same way daily builds trust in the result.
Event template
Choose mid or high by neckline. Increase grams only if comfort remains. Polish with a slow pass and a complete cool. Run the jacket test before leaving and capture a quick profile still under venue lights.
Edges and comfort
Rotate mount heights, keep tension firm but not tight, and drop grams if edges feel stressed. Calm edges improve the look more than extra product ever will.
Trim strategy
Book a micro trim after install to join ends to your cut and remove factory bluntness. For layers, mirror your template so movement lines meet cleanly. Tiny changes at the hem transform photos.
Quality checks on arrival
Confirm length, grams, and texture. Inspect seams for even stitching. Brush gently to shed loose cut ends. Photograph base and hem in daylight for records. If warm lamps push red too far, verify undertone outdoors before deciding on returns.
System mindset
Write down fixed inputs—height, grams, length, texture, undertone—and reuse them. Systems beat moods and keep the finish deliberate across busy weeks.
Care economics
Extensions reduce dye cycles on your own hair. Lower heat and gentle rinses extend life. Rotating lighter daily sets with heavier event sets spreads wear and delays replacement.
Seasonal behavior
Winter air raises static; mist water lightly before brushing. Summer humidity softens straight lines; body wave holds shape. In rain, coil hair forward between buildings and release indoors.
Face shape mapping
Round faces benefit from body wave and slightly longer lengths below the collar. Oval faces accept most patterns. Square faces soften with loose curls or longer bevels. Heart faces balance with mid height and a line that passes the collarbone cleanly.
Stylist collaboration
Bring room photos, a wardrobe snapshot, and target inches. Agree on gram targets, undertone, and a trim plan. Shared engineering choices create reliable, repeatable outcomes.
Attachment method comparison
Clips offer fast on and off at home, tapes lie flatter and follow salon cycles, and wefts build structured rows with stylist control. Choose the method by lifestyle—flexibility, flatness, or long-wear rows—and match grams to your crown density so the head reads as one unit.
Density to length ratios
As length increases, end fullness thins unless grams scale. Practical map: 14–16 inches pair with 100–130 grams for daily wear; 18–20 with 120–160 grams; 22–24 with 150–190 grams. Fine crowns prefer the low end with wave; dense crowns can carry more grams with straight.
Undertone decision tree
Cool LEDs and steel fixtures favor ash or mocha. Warm lamps and camel or tan wardrobes favor golden or caramel. Neutral taupe sits between both and stays steady as lighting changes.
Seam security checklist
Anchor clips on backcombed bases angled slightly downward, keep tape tabs clear of oils and offset them vertically, and set even tension on wefts with neat fold backs. After install, do a slow turn, a small jump, and a jacket test to catch movement before leaving.
Optical troubleshooting
If the surface glares, raise the light and step off axis. If brown looks flat, add a soft side light rather than shine spray. If undertone shifts across posts, lock white balance and reuse the same camera distance.
Length planning by outfit
Structured jackets welcome straighter edges around 16–20 inches. Draped knits and dresses like body wave at 18–22 inches. For hoodies and high collars, keep mounts mid or low and hold the lowest row above the collar line to avoid friction.
Care schedule examples
Daily: detangle from ends, one light brush, and lens wipe. Weekly or when coated: gentle cleanse, condition mid to ends, cool rinse, air dry flat. Monthly: micro trim if needed and storage check—label length, grams, texture, undertone, and last trim date.
Heat map by texture
Straight prefers one slow pass and a cool set; wave responds to low heat and a full cool; loose curls hold best when clipped to cool; coily textures prefer low heat or steam and long, undisturbed cooling to preserve coil memory.
Edge health practices
Rotate mount heights across the week, avoid tight tension near temples, and plan lighter grams for long days. Comfortable bases disappear from awareness and look more natural in motion.
Return readiness check
On arrival, confirm length, grams, texture, and seam quality in daylight. Photograph base and hem, keep packaging until you approve undertone in your main room, and document discrepancies before styling to preserve options.
Creator continuity notes
Save one reference frame per look with exposure and distance. Mark a floor spot and part direction. Reuse the same room and angle so mid-tone detail looks consistent across reels and carousels.
Common corrections
Crown gap: move a narrow piece higher or shift the part slightly. Thin hem in straight styles: micro trim or add grams one step. Over-warm tone in office LEDs: choose ash or mocha; over-cool under lamps: choose caramel or golden.
Event scaling
For large, bright venues, raise grams only if comfort allows and polish the hem carefully because big lights magnify edges. For intimate spaces, keep grams moderate and prefer body wave so seams stay quiet up close.
Wind and transit recovery
After wind, step inside, detangle from ends to mid, re-press seams, and do one wide-tooth pass. On trains or ride shares, sweep hair forward and keep a small gap from the seat back, then return panels after arrival.
Makeup pairing quick map
Ash and mocha like taupe brows and plum or charcoal liners. Golden and caramel pair with soft gold lids and brown liners. Keep bronzer soft at the hairline to avoid a halo under cool LEDs.
Wardrobe contrast planning
Optical white creates the strongest edge clarity; bone and oatmeal soften contrast; cool grey pairs with ash and mocha; camel and tan flatter caramel and golden; navy balances most day looks.
Phone variance note
Different phones render reds differently, shifting how caramel or golden reads. Publish from one device and lock white balance in your prep room for consistency.
Silhouette control
Treat hair and clothing as one design. Straighter hems complement tailored lines; waves relax rigid outfits; curls add lift and soften strong jawlines. Consistent choices build a recognizable style across weeks.
Storage habits
Detangle dry, braid loosely, cushion with acid-free tissue, and store flat. Avoid sealed plastic that can crease seams. Label pouches with settings so you redeploy the right build fast on busy mornings.
