For first-time wig buyers and synthetic wig buying experts, choosing a synthetic wig color is exciting!You get to experiment with your hair in a temporary, consequence-free way.But no matter the length or style you choose, finding the right color synthetic wig is always the most challenging part of the wig buying process.

Here are a few basic tips for choosing a flattering synthetic wig color that we hope will help you find the color that suits you best.

• Determine Your Skin Tone

The first step in learning how to choose a wig color is to determine your skin tone and undertone. A good way to determine your skin tone is to look at the veins below your wrist.

If your veins are bluer, your undertone is cooler. If your veins are greener, your undertone is warmer. If you have both, your undertone is neutral.

• Choose a Wig Color That Matches Your Skin Tone

The most important consideration when choosing a new hair color is your skin tone. Choosing the wrong color can result in a pale or harsh, extreme look.

To find a wig color that matches your skin tone, you first need to determine which color family (warm and cool) your skin tone falls into.

1.Hair Colors for Warm Skin Tones

People with warm skin tones should choose cool-toned colors to match them. Think ash blonde, cool brown, and brassy red. If you choose a warm color, like blonde, you will appear pale or dull.

For people with pale, warm skin tones, choose a light blonde or platinum blonde. Silvery blonde looks especially good on these people. If you prefer a darker tone, choose a cooler dark brown, like a rich black brown or fawn.

For those with medium to dark warm skin tones, choose a hair color that is two to three shades lighter or darker than your natural hair color. If your hair is too close to your skin tone, your overall appearance will appear pale.

2.Hair Colors for Cool Skin Tones

People with cool skin should do the opposite of their warm-toned friends and choose rich, warm hair colors. Look for words like "warm," "honey," or "chocolate" at a beauty supply store or on your wig color ring.

If you have pale cool skin, avoid words like "silver," "champagne," or "platinum." Instead, choose a beach blonde, salmon, or rich brown hue.

If you have medium to dark cool skin, choose a rich chocolate hue. Stay away from pure black tones, or choose a color with warm highlights to add pops to your look.

• Choose a color that is similar to your natural hair color

Choosing a synthetic wig color that's two shades lighter or darker than your natural hair color can result in a drastic change.To be safe, choose a synthetic wig color that matches your real hair color. But if you want to try something new, change the wig color gradually over time.

• Choose a wig color that matches your eye color

No matter what your natural eye color is, we all want to achieve the same thing - make your eyes stand out!Just like your skin tone, it is crucial to choose a synthetic wig color that contrasts with your eyes.

For people with warm eye colors - golden brown, yellow-green, green-blue, turquoise, hazel (with gold or brown flecks) - choose a synthetic wig with a cooler tone.People with cool eye colors - dark brown, black brown, gray-blue, ice blue, dark blue, hazel (with white, gray or blue flecks) or gray - should choose a synthetic wig with a warm tone.However, if this clashes with the color you chose based on your skin tone, choose that color.

It is more important to have an overall cohesive look rather than looking pale and washed out. Also, with the right makeup, you can always make your eyes stand out.

• Choose a hair color that's right for your stage in life

As we get older, lighter hair tends to be more flattering than darker shades.

Lighter, warm shades provide a softer, more natural appearance to paler skin tones. Many people are afraid to adopt a gray or color when they age, but those shades are often the most flattering!Another thing to keep in mind is that if you’re going through chemotherapy treatments, your skin may start looking paler than usual. An easy way to compensate for that is to choose a wig that is two or three shades lighter than your natural color.For example, if your hair is naturally stark black, a dark brown shade would be a good supplemental color.

• Choose the right highlight color

Synthetic wigs contain natural highlights. It is important to choose a synthetic wig with highlights that match your color.If your wig is auburn, choose copper highlights to brighten the look. Natural brunettes look best with caramel, and blondes look best with honey tones.

• Conclusion

Plus, trying new colours is quicker, easier and doesn’t damage your natural hair. Don’t forget to consider your skin tone, eye colour and personality when making your selection.
