How to colour match a wig to your hair

by | Nov 24, 2020 | Wigs

There are lots of reasons for buying a wig. You might be a bold individual who loves experimenting with new looks, for example.

And a wig gives you the freedom to experiment with your look without causing the damage that repeatedly dyeing your hair can incur.

Or, you might be buying a wig in an attempt to seamlessly blend your wig into your existing hair in order to disguise thinning hair or hair loss. If that is the case, then you need to find a wig that will match the colour of your hair.

If your hair colour is natural, then this might be a little challenge. As we are experts who have been working in this business for over thirty years, we know that lots of people find this a challenge. This is why we have put together our top tips for colour matching your hair with a wig.

Colour matching tips

Like finding a wig to flatter the shape of your face, matching the colour of your wig to your hair contributes to creating a wig that looks natural. Blending a wig into your natural hair is even more important if you are buying a toupee or hair extensions when it will sit alongside your natural hair.

When you want to buy a wig to match your hair colour, you should begin by sending a sample of your hair. This is so that we can see the colour and texture of your natural hair. This will enable us to find a wig that will blend in with your hair as we will be able to examine it closely.

We will be looking at the colours, texture, tones, and mixtures of your hair. Once we have done that, we will be able to point you in the direction of some wigs or hair replacement systems that we believe might work well for you.

In order to guide your decision making process, we will ask you some questions about your reason for wanting a wig, toupee, or extensions as well as about your lifestyle.

Knowing about you and how you live your life will help us make sure you buy a wig that enables you to carry on living your life to the fullest.

We are passionate that wearing a wig shouldn’t mean that you change the way you live your life, or that you stop doing the things that make you happy. Wearing a wig should fit it in with your lifestyle. Your lifestyle should not fit in with your wig!
