While just 2% of the world’s population are naturally blonde, many more embrace beautiful blonde tones with a little help from artificial colouring. Taking your natural hair from a darker shade to a lighter one is no easy feat, and for wig wearers, we certainly wouldn’t recommend dyeing your wig to realise your blonde ambition. The simplest way to enjoy blonde tones this summer and beyond is to invest in a blonde wig. But, your choice may not be as simple as it seems.
When finding any colour match, choosing a hue that complements your skin tone is vital. Complementary shades have the power to enhance your features, make your skin glow and let your natural beauty shine through. This couldn’t be truer when picking the best blonde human hair wigs for your skin tone.
Read on for our top tips for finding the perfect blonde wig for you – as you’ll discover there’s a style for everyone!
For natural brunettes looking to make the transition to a blonde human hair wig for the very first time, caramel blonde is the shade for you. This particular style looks great on deeper skin tones, with warmer olive, peach and golden brown complexions the perfect matches for sun-kissed looks like our Dani wig.
We wouldn’t recommend this shade for cooler undertones. Unsure what your undertone is? Try the simple paper test as recommended here by Clairol:
“All you need for the paper test is a mirror and a piece of white paper. Look in the mirror and hold the white piece of paper up to your face (or alternatively, wrap a crisp white sheet around your shoulders). If you see a hint of yellow or orange on your skin against the paper, you have warm undertones. If your skin looks blueish, red or pink, you have cool undertones. If you’re somewhere in the middle, you’ve got a neutral skin tone.”
A beautiful mixture of brown and blonde, bronde is the blonde tone of the moment, and utterly flattering for so many skin tones. This time it’s cool undertones that look best with bronde wigs, with the option to tweak your colour choice further by adding ash tinges (great for fair skin) or more honey-based hues (medium skin tones love these!) certain to create a beautiful finish.
There’s no blonde tone that makes as much of a statement as platinum, and with our Sienna wig, you can do this in style with a face-framing, flowing look that’s realistic and beautiful. Platinum blonde is a great choice for people with light, cool skin tones.
While platinum blonde natural hair is known for being particularly high maintenance, a platinum blonde wig allows you to embrace all the perks of this timelessly chic tone without the constant colouring and care.
For the best of both worlds, our Sienna Ombre Wig is a real winner. This particular shade, which combines brown with honey blonde, is made for warm complexions. People with golden, peachy and yellow undertones look especially great in this versatile wig style.
If you’re blessed with a cooler skin tone, switch up your ombre shades, swapping the honey blonde for an ash, platinum or icy hue.
