How to Find Your Perfect Gofybr Shade: The Complete Colour Matching Guide

The single most common question we get from new customers isn’t about hold, or ingredients, or whether fibres look natural. It’s this: “How do I know which shade to choose?”

It’s a good question. Pick the right shade and fibres are completely undetectable. Pick the wrong one and you’ll notice immediately. Here’s everything you need to get it right first time.

The Golden Rule: Match Your Hair, Not Your Roots

Most people instinctively try to match their root colour — the hair closest to the scalp. But roots are usually darker than the rest of your hair, especially if you spend time outdoors or have naturally lightening hair. Match your fibres to the mid-length of your hair rather than the root, and the blend will look more natural across the whole head.

Gofybr’s 10 Shades Explained

Gofybr comes in 10 precision-matched shades. Here’s a plain-English guide to each:

• Black — True, deep black. For naturally very dark hair with no warmth or brown undertone.
• Brown Dark — A rich, deep brown. The most popular shade for dark brunettes.
• Brown Medium — A warm mid-brown. Works for the widest range of hair colours — the most-ordered shade overall.
• Brown Light — A lighter, warm brown. Ideal if your hair is described as ‘light brown’ or has natural warm highlights.
• Auburn — A deep red-brown. For hair with distinct copper or red tones.
• Blonde Dark — A golden dark blonde, sometimes called ‘dirty blonde’. Bridges the gap between brown and blonde.
• Blonde Medium — A natural mid-blonde. For hair that’s unmistakably blonde but not platinum or ash.
• Blonde Light — A light, warm blonde. Suits lighter naturals or those with sun-lightened hair.
• Grey — A mid-grey. Works well for mixed salt-and-pepper hair or predominantly grey hair.
• White — For silver or near-white hair.

What If You’re Between Shades?

Go lighter rather than darker. A shade that’s slightly lighter than your hair will blend more naturally than one that’s too dark — darker fibres can create a visible contrast that draws attention to the thinning area rather than concealing it.

Some customers with highlighted or colour-treated hair actually mix two shades — applying a lighter shade first, then a darker one on top — to replicate the natural dimension of their hair. It sounds involved, but it only adds 20 seconds to the routine once you’ve figured out the ratio.

Hair That Has Changed Colour Over Time

If your hair has greyed partially — say, 40% grey and 60% your original colour — you’re not alone in finding this tricky. The usual recommendation is to match the colour of the majority. So if you’re predominantly brunette with grey at the temples, Brown Medium or Brown Light will typically blend better than Grey. The fibres mix with your existing hair rather than replacing it, so a slight mismatch matters less than you’d expect.

Colour-Treated or Dyed Hair

Match to your dyed colour, not your natural roots. If you colour your hair regularly, the fibres should match what the majority of your hair looks like — the dyed mid-shaft — not what’s growing through. If you’re unsure, a free sample is the lowest-risk way to check before committing to a full bottle.

Still Not Sure? Try Before You Commit

The safest approach is to order a free sample in the shade you think is closest. A 7g bottle is enough for 15 days of daily use — plenty of time to confirm the colour works for you before ordering a full 28g 60-day supply or the larger 84g 180-day supply.

If you’re genuinely torn between two shades, go for the free sample in the lighter option first — it’s easier to go darker if needed than to correct something too dark.
