Piano Color Explained
Piano color is a multi-tone hair coloring technique commonly used in wigs and hair extensions.
Unlike TT (Two-Tone) colors that mainly transition from dark roots to lighter ends, piano colors blend multiple shades evenly throughout the entire hair.
The color placement often appears in vertical or mixed streaks, creating dimension, movement, and a highlighted salon-style effect.
How Piano Colors Work
Piano colors combine two or more shades distributed throughout the hair from top to bottom.
Examples include:
-
P4/27
-
P18/613
-
P1B/30
-
P8A/60
The shades are blended evenly rather than separated into root and end sections.
