Understanding The Hair Colors

Wigs have the power to completely change the way you look! The perfect wig should complement both your skin tone and face shape. Your hair color and skin tone have a dramatic effect on your overall look. This is why color temperature is important when choosing a wig color!

Color temperature simply refers to a cool or warm tone that a color gives off.

No matter what color you choose, it has either a warm or cool tone. 

These warm and cool tones are crucial to finding the most natural looking wig.

The key to selecting wig colors to compliment your skin tone is remembering that you don't just have to stick to one color! Feel free to play within the color range in your temperature. 

And never forget: Makeup has the power to make any hair color, your color!

Choosing colors can be challenging, especially when wigs come in as many as 40 different color options. This is complicated by the fact that one's idea of brown may be different from another's idea of brown. 

The letters and numbers in the color description come from a color system called the color code developed by the wig industry based on natural human hair colors. Let's take a look at the color families.

Black colors range from #1 to #1B, Browns from #2 to #12, Blondes from #14 to #27, and Reds from #30 to #33.

#613 is a golden platinum that's the perfect balance between blonde and platinum.

Have you ever noticed how hair color looks different depending on the lighting? This is because the color is the effect of light reflecting off pigment. For instance, a red wig outside under natural light will appear brighter with higher contrast than the same wig in indoor lighting. This is why the hair color in your summer vacation photos looks a lot different than it does in the interior lighting of your home! 

Lighting is one of the many factors that affect hair color. That's why sometimes you might feel that the real color is a bit different from the color shows in the wig pictures we sent you.

Okay, now you can shop more confidently knowing how to find the color that works best for you!
