TT Color Explained
TT color stands for “Two-Tone” color, a popular hair coloring style commonly used in wigs and hair extensions.
TT colors usually feature a darker root area combined with a lighter secondary color throughout the mid-lengths and ends of the hair.
This color technique creates depth, dimension, and a more natural-looking transition between shades.
How TT Colors Work
In most TT color styles:
-
The root area is darker
-
The lower portion of the hair becomes lighter
-
The color transition creates a soft blended effect
For example:
-
TT1B/30 = natural black roots with light brown lengths
-
TT1B/613 = natural black roots with blonde lengths
-
TT1B/Burgundy = natural black roots with burgundy tones
