If you’re trying to blend in with your natural hair shade or you’re looking to try something new, picking the color of your wig can be a challenge. Since most styles are available with a wide range of colors, it’s essential to select a wig color that is the most pleasing match for you. From your skin tone to eye color, numerous aspects determine what color you’ll look the best. The biggest benefit of using hair extensions is that it’s easy to find the color you prefer without damaging your hair chemically. So why not think about a color different from your natural color? Our team of experienced designers has put together a list of helpful tips and information to guide you on the wig’s journey to color.

The Color of Your Hair to Your Skin

Choose a shade that is compatible with your personality.

The most important factor to consider in deciding on new hair color is skin tone. If you choose the wrong shade, it can result in a drab look or a rugged appearance.

To choose the wig color that is in line with the tones of your skin, first, you have to determine what shade range your skin tone falls within. Two main types are warm and cool tones.

To determine which of the families your skin’s shade falls within, visit your bathroom and switch on all the lighting.

Then, wash the foundation off of your face. Don’t color match with your foundation. You want your foundation to be able to color match with yourself!

Take a few solid-colored t-shirts in various shades, such as yellow, red, green, and blue. You should stand before your mirror and pull the shirts to your face one at one time.

Do you think your skin looks more attractive against a green and blue shirt? You have cool-toned skin.

Does your skin appear better with yellow and red tops? You have a warm complexion.

Still not sure after having done the T-shirt test? Take a look at the veins of your wrist. People with cool-toned skin have purple or blue veins, and those with warmer skin tones have green veins.

Be cautious when selecting a color that is at least two shades darker or lighter than your natural hair’s shade. If you choose a darker or lighter shade than the natural hair color, it can be shocking. The best option is to pick a shade that’s like your hair color; however, if you’re searching for something completely different, think about changing the shade gradually over time.

Hair Colors for Warm-toned Skin

For those with warm-toned skin, you must choose a shade with cooler tones to match it. Think of cool blondes, ashy browns as well as brassy reds. If you pick warm colors, such as gold blondes, it will appear dull or washed-out.

Choose pale blonde or platinum shade for those who have pale, warm-toned skin. The silvery blonde hues look appealing on those with pale skin. If you’re looking for a darker shade, go for brunette shades with a cooler tone, such as dark black or fawn-colored light brown.

For those with medium-to-dark skin tone, choose a hair shade two to three shades less or more dark than the normal hair shade. If your hair color is too close to your skin tone, it will appear to have a dull appearance.

Hair Colors to complement cool-toned skin

People with cool-toned skin should be the opposite of those with warm tones and choose a warm and rich color. In the beauty supply stores or on your wig’s color ring, search for words such as “warm,” “honey,” or “chocolate.”

If you’re a pale, cool-toned skin, stay clear of the words “silvery,” “champagne,” or “platinum.” Instead, choose the beachy golden blonde, the orangey reds, or deep brown tones.

Choose an intense, chocolate-colored shade if you are medium or dark cool-toned skin. Beware of dark black shades, or opt for shades with warm highlights to add an extra dimension to your look.

Selecting a Wig Color that will Look Like Your Eyes

Make sure your eyes pop!

No matter what your eye shade is, no matter what your eye color is, we all want to accomplish the same thing: making our eyes shine!

Like skin tones, picking hair colors in contrast to your eye color is important.

For those with eyes that are warm Golden brown, green, yellow-green, and turquoise. Also, hazel with brown or gold particles – choose an edgier wig.

People with cool eyes – dark brown-gray, black-brown, gray-blue dark blue, icy blue hazel with white blue or gray flecks or gray, should opt for warmer toned hairstyles.

But, if it isn’t compatible with the color you picked under the tone of your skin, opt for that color instead.

It’s crucial to have a coherent look that doesn’t look like you’ve been washed out. With the proper makeup, you will be able to make your eyes stand out;)

Aging Beautifully

Selecting a hair color that is appropriate for your current stage of life

As we age, lighter hair tends to look more attractive than darker hair shades.

Warmer, lighter shades offer a more natural, soft appearance to skin tones with lighter tones. Many people are reluctant to go to a gray or shade as they get older. However, these shades tend to be the most flattering!

Another thing to remember is that your skin starts appearing paler than normal when you have chemotherapy treatments. A simple way to make up for this is to pick a hair that’s at least two to three shades less than a normal shade.

For instance, if your hair is typically stark black or dark brown, a dark brown shade could be a great additional shade.

Choose a Hair Color that Doesn’t Change.

If you’re from the desert, perhaps not pick an intense red or a dark black hairstyle…

Women living in warm climates are aware of this, but it’s still worth repeating that wigs and dyed hair fade with the sun, and dark, rich shades fade the most quickly.

In an extremely hot climate, plan to purchase the wig you want more frequently, opt for a wig made of human hair which can be dyed again, or select lighter shades that don’t fade as fast.

Looking to get highlights?

You’ll be delighted to learn that synthetic and human hair wigs come pre-blended with natural-looking highlights. They are designed with shades that offer an appealing, natural-looking shade. If your wig’s auburn color is present, pick copper highlights to enhance the appearance. When paired with caramel, natural brunettes look the best, and blondes look great by blending honey hues. Are you interested in the ombre trend? We have ombre wigs available too.

Selecting the right Wig Tone

If you choose the wig you want, select a tone opposite the undertones you have on your skin. If there are cool undertones, you should pick a wig with warm tones, and when the skin has warm tones, the wig you choose should have a cool tone. For neutral tones, you’re able to go either. It is recommended to keep within one or two shades, either lighter or darker, of your primary color to get the most natural and attractive appearance.

For a better idea of the cool colors of hair, include Ash tones that range from dark or light brown hair that is ash blonde ranging from light to dark shades silvery-gray, deep red tones, deep strawberry blonde tones, and purple.

Some warm colors for hairstyles include golden brown, brassy bronze, brassy red real and strong reds, golden blonde, brassy blonde, golden blonde, and brassy strawberry blonde.

Choosing the Color of Your Wig

Once you’ve figured out your skin tone and the cool and warm color variations, you’re now able to narrow the color options. When paired with the wig with the right shade, your skin’s undertones and your complexion (dark medium, light, or dark) can create a beautiful harmony and make your highlights stand out. You should be aware that you shouldn’t wish to be a part of your wig.
