FemAfric's Color Nomenclature

August 4, 2024

You read that right!! We have an entire nomenclature for our hair color blends!
It’s one of the many things that sets us apart. At Femafric, we’re deeply creative and passionate about what we do. But just because our color blends are bold and artistic doesn’t mean they have to be confusing.

This is your go-to guide to shopping by color with confidence.

With over 30 shades and signature blends, we know it can be a lot to navigate.

What’s the difference between Honey Black and Honey Balayage?

What even is a TTT blend?

This post breaks it all down.

Every Femafric hair bundle is handmade in Sierra Leone and thoughtfully named using a system based in color theory but with our own bold twist.xoxo

🧠 How Our Naming Works

Femafric’s color names follow 3 simple rules:

1. Base Color Family = The Identity

> Think: Honey, Hazel, Chestnut, Ginger...

2. Technique = The Blend Style

> Balayage? Ombre? Lite? Explained below.

3. Formula = A Code You Can Trust

> 1B/30? TTT 1B/30/613? We decode it all.
