What Is 1b Hair Color

There are various hair colors and types when we select hair. Do you want to dye your hair black? Or perhaps you are searching for beautiful extensions or even a wig that will capture the rich hue you desire. It’s best to understand the differences between the colors. Hair color 1b is often a natural color, meaning that it’s higher quality than color 1 and 2. But that doesn’t mean that 1b hair is always the best option.

Hair swatches aren’t often 100% accurate, as pictures are often taken in a wel-lit environment.

What hair color is a 1?

Color 1, also called jet-black, is the darkest black shade hair extensions come in. My own hair is a darker shade of black compared to that of the average Chinese person, but still not as black as jet-black. Jet-black colors can only be achieved by dying hair, so your raw hair extensions should never come as jet-black. It isn’t a natural hair color.

The quality below raw hair is processed floor hair. It’s often marketed as virgin hair but is, in fact, hair from many donors, with each a slightly different shade of black. That’s why it requires dying the hair to a dark shade of black to hide this impure color. It’s one reason why your hair could be colored to jet-black.

What hair color is 2?

Hair color 2 is a very dark shade of brown, and is 1 shade lighter than 1b. It looks black from afar, but up close, you can see that it’s brown. It naturally occurs in Asian women, and especially Indian women lean more towards this shade.

However, we’ve experienced that hair naturally close to #2 is often the last stock to go. Processed hair, and some of the impurer raw hair are usually dyed to 1b or 1. People automatically associate these black shades with quality, and some of the color 2 hair as unnatural or impure. Many lace products get processed and dyed to some extent, even in the raw hair category. This makes it much easier to find a matching bundle and lace product for blacker hair, than it is for browner hair.

That said, natural color 2 hair is rare in China and Vietnam, and they’re often dyed to these colors. Women from India have a slightly more mixed population, meaning that lighter colors and non-straight textures are more common.

Although this isn’t always the case. Not many Chinese and Vietnamese women have natural color 2 hair. India is a melting pot of different ethnicities, and this allows Indian women to naturally have non-straight textures and dark shades of brown hair.

If you’re wondering whether your hair extensions are natural color, you can use acetone to test for it. Natural color 2 hair will be easier to bleach and take color, than unnatural color 2 hair. Colored hair doesn’t bleach and dye as easily as natural color hair. The differences between bleaching natural 1b hair color and natural 2 hair color are almost negligible.

Differences between the 1 and 1b hair colors

They’re both shades of black, but jet-black hair has cooler, blue undertones, while 1b has warmer, brown undertones. 1b hair color is generally a safer bet than jet black hair. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t take a risk and try a darker tone for a more dramatic look.

Color 1 hair can only be made by dying the hair to this color, and 1b hair is usually unprocessed. This means that for jet-black hair you’ll be unlikely to find white or gray strands in your hair.

1b hair color is the most common type for hair extensions or dyes. Although salons and hair products can match an off-black shade more effectively, you might not find a perfect match every time.

Neither color is better since the right color will depend on a person’s natural color and desired look.
