How to Choose a Wig Color

In this article I am going to show you how to choose a wig color. This is an important task, because not only does it affect the look of your hair, but also its ability to absorb moisture.

The best way to decide which color wig is right for you, is to go into a local hair salon and have them show you a variety of wigs. Most salons will have at least 5-10 different styles to choose from. It’s important that you find a color and style that matches your skin tone. If you have a yellow complexion, you want a dark brown or black color wig, and so on. You can ask the stylist if they can give you some examples of what looks good on you, as well.

If you're looking for an easy way to find the perfect wig color for you, read on for my top 5 tips on choosing a perfect wig color that will make your look pop.

1. Determine Your Hair Color

If you're thinking about getting your hair colored, the first step is determining what color you want to get. Many people choose to change their hair color based on their mood. If you're having a bad day, you might consider changing your hair color to match your mood, or perhaps if you're feeling happy or confident, you might want to change your hair color to a different color. Another thing to keep in mind when choosing your hair color is that sometimes a particular hair color looks better on you than it does on someone else. If this is the case, you might want to stick with what you're most comfortable with.

2. Consider the Effect on Your Face

We all know that when we wear a human hair wig or fake hairpiece, we look different than the way we look without it. And that's why it can be so difficult to judge others' reactions. A good trick is to practice a bit before you are in front of a mirror with someone who isn’t familiar with you. This way you will be able to see whether your wig is noticeable at first glance. The best advice for a first-time appearance is to stick with a color that matches your natural hair color, as this will help you blend in.

3. Determine the Effect on Your Skin

Think carefully before choosing a color more than two shades lighter or darker than your natural hair color. When you pick a color that’s much lighter or darker than your natural hair, the result is dramatic. The safe choice is to choose a shade similar to your natural hair color, but if you are really looking for something new, consider changing the color gradually over a period of time.

4. Determine the Effect on Your Hair

Think back to the hair color of your youth.  If you were blonde when you were a child, chances are, blonde will also work for you as an adult. To match your current skin tone, choose a shade that’s slightly darker than what you had as a child.

Most women look great in wigs, but not all wigs look great on everyone. As a result, you need to get a good idea of what the hair on your scalp looks like before you choose a wig. The same goes for choosing an appropriate skin tone for your wig. If you don't have a real clue about how the color and texture of your scalp and skin will translate to your new hairdo, consider having someone check it out for you before you buy.

5. Determine the Effect on Your Eye Color

Don’t forget about your eyes. If your eyes are golden brown, green, hazel, or light blue, choose a wig with dark or golden browns, chestnut, auburn, or red highlights. If your eye color is dark brown, deep blue/blue-gray, or dark hazel, choose a wig with more natural colors, such as black, brown, and blonde tones.

In conclusion, I’m not suggesting that you wear the same color wig all the time. But I am suggesting that you wear the color that most reflects your personality. I have seen some very interesting and original wigs on the market. So choose your favorite color, whether it be purple, orange, blue, green, red, pink or whatever. You can experiment with your hair color and style to create a look that is unique and individual. If you are thinking about buying a wig, consider your personality and your hair color, not only the wig color. You will never know what look you will get if you don’t try things out.
