Looking to make a style shift? These days, women can go to the store and purchase a wig made from real human hair to entirely alter their appearance. A wig can give you longer hair, a new cut, or even a new shade of hair.Although it's possible to go from a dark brown to a light blonde without causing any chemical damage to your hair, it's not always a good idea to pick whatever color you like for a wig. That's because if you want to go significantly darker or lighter than your natural hair color, it won't necessarily seem natural.Even if you're just looking for a shade that's near to your natural hair color, picking the proper one might be difficult. Now that we have that established, here is a primer on selecting the ideal shade for your hairpiece.

Choosing lighter or darker tones than your natural hair

If you can't find a shade that is a perfect match for your hair, it's advisable to pick one that is close. However, if you want to make a dramatic statement, going for a significantly lighter or darker color can make the wig more visible.To avoid seeming unnatural, stick to a shade or two on each side of your natural skin tone. If you're set on changing your hair color, one strategy is to go from your current shade to a darker one gradually rather than jumping from, say, light blonde to ash blonde.

Complement your skin tone

When choosing a wig color other than your natural hair, it's crucial to take your skin tone into account. Because if the color is off and doesn't go with your skin tone, people may stare and wonder if you're trying to pass off a hairpiece.Seeing how your veins appear can be an indicator of whether you have cool or warm skin tones. You have cool-toned skin if your veins are more blue or purple. Greener veins are indicative of a warmer skin tone. You can be impartial if you perceive a combination of the two.Warm hues classified as "honey," such as golden blonde or orangey red, tend to complement cool-toned skin tones, though this varies with the undertones of the individual. Colors like ash blonde and brown complement the warmth of the human skin. Basically,

Warm Toned Skin Hair Colors

Colors with cooler undertones will look best against the warm undertones of most people's complexion. Tones of ashy blonde, cool brown, and brassy red come to mind. You will look washed out and drab if you go with a warm hue like golden blonde.You should go for a platinum or very light blonde shade if your skin has a warm undertone. They are best suited to a silver-blonde shade. Pick a rich black-brown or fawn-colored light brown for your brunette tint if you desire a darker color.Color your hair two to three shades lighter or darker than your natural hair color if you have a medium to the dark warm toned complexion. Hair that is a perfect match for your skin tone will make you look washed out.

Cool Toned Skin Hair Colors

In contrast to their warm-skinned friends, those with cool skin tones should choose a deep, warm hair color. Look for adjectives like "warm," "honey," and "chocolate" on the wig color ring or in the beauty supply store.Stay away from descriptors like "silvery," "champagne," and "platinum" if your skin tone is pale and cold. You should go for a beachy golden blonde, an orangey red, or a deep brown instead.Choose a deep chocolate tone if you have a medium to dark, cool skin tone. Avoid all-black ensembles and instead opt for warmer tones as accents.

Eye color 

A person's eye color is a crucial consideration when selecting a wig color, much like their skin tone. Light eye hues, such as orangey-brown, tend to look best with black hair, whereas dark brown eyes complement blonde hair. Brown hair with red undertones brings out the best in green and blue eyes. You should look at wig colors that complement your eyes and skin tone for the best results.

Keep your age in mind

Paleness is a natural consequence of aging and cannot be avoided. Because of this, you should choose a lighter color rather than a darker one. Grey or light grey hair, in contrast to black hair, helps offer a more natural and attractive look for paler complexion tones. If you want to look younger, don't be scared to go for a full grey look. You should also be aware that your skin tone may change from its normal color as a side effect of chemotherapy. To hide this, simply wear a wig that is two or three shades lighter than your actual hair color.

Climatic Impact

Do you reside in a sunny and warm climate? Since the chemical connections in dyed hair are broken down by UV rays, too much time in the sun can have an effect on your wig. In this situation, you should go for a lighter shade of your desired hair color, as it will fade more slowly than darker hair.Wigs and dyed hair fade in the sun, with the most dramatic fading occurring with really rich, dark hues; this is common knowledge for women who live in sunny climes, but it bears repeating. Plan on buying a new wig more frequently if you live in a sunny area. Select a human hair wig that can be re-dyed, or go with a lighter hue that won't fade as quickly.
