Trying a new hair color is fun and exciting. Choosing your hair color can be challenging. There are so many options, and it can be hard to choose. What if you don’t like the color you picked? Wigs wearers can experiment to find a color they love or have several wigs in different colors. There are also tips and guidelines to help choose a color that will work for you.
Stick Close to Your Natural Color
If you are a first-time wig buyer, it is important that you find a wig in a style that you are comfortable with. For this reason, it might be wise to choose a wig close to your natural color. Look for wigs that match your natural hair color or are either two shades lighter or two shades darker than your natural color.
If you think you’d like to try a bolder color but aren’t certain, get two wigs– one in your natural color and one in a new bold color.
Choose Based on Skin Tone and Eye Color
A common method for choosing a wig color is based on skin tone and eye color. There are two basic categories for both skin tones and eye colors: warm and cool.
Warm skin tones: Wigs in dark brown, golden brown, chestnut, and auburn shades are great for people with warm skin tones. If you’d like a wig with highlights try reds or shades of gold.
Cool skin tones: Warm hair colors in blacks and browns pair well with cool skin tones. Pale or pink skin tones are well suited for cool blonde colors. Consider highlights in wheat, ash, or honey tones.
Eye Color: Make your eyes stand out by choosing a complementary wig color. Cool, light-tone wigs look great with warm-colored eyes like golden brown, green-blue, or hazel with warm-colored flecks. For cool colored eyes like black-brown, gray-blue, icy blue, or dark blue choose a wig with a warm shade of hair.
Match Your Personality
The only real rule when it comes to choosing a hair color is that it makes you feel great. If you have a sophisticated or inquisitive personality, try a black colored wig. Those with passionate personalities could experiment with shades of red. If you are bold and daring consider trying an unnatural color. Pink, teal, green, purple, and blue are currently trendy hair colors.
