How to Choose the Best Wig Color for Your Skin
If you are trying to decide on the right hair color for your new wig, you will need to choose carefully. Your skin tone is the most important thing that should be considered when choosing the right color of wig for you. Determining your skin tone is easy and will help you to choose the perfect wig color for you.
- Brush your hair up and out of your face and secure it in a tied back position using a rubber band or hair clip.
- Wash your face and remove all makeup so that you can see the true color of your skin without any makeup.
- Place a white fabric around your face so that you can see how your skin looks next to the white surface. Check to see if your skin appears to have a yellow or blue tint in contrast with the white fabric. A blue tint means you have a cool skin tone, a yellow tint means you have a warm skin tone.
- Consider your favorite colors to wear. If you have a favorite color that you feel complements your skin tone, determine what that color is. If the color is a warm color such as yellow, orange or red then you have a warm skin tone. If blues, greens and grays look best on you then you have a cool skin tone.
- Choose a wig that is a warm tone. Strawberry blonde and ash brown are a great color choice for a warm skin tone. You should stay within a few shades of your natural color to achieve a natural look that complements your skin.
- Choose a wig that is a cool tone such as light blonde, light brown or auburn if you have a cool skin tone.
- Experiment with different wig colors to see which color complements your skin the best. A good rule of thumb is to stick to a shade that is similar in tone to your natural hair color.
