How to Choose the Right Hair Color for Your Skin Tone?

Determine your skin color before choosing the appropriate hair color

Whether you want to cover your bald or white hair, or just want to change your hairstyle and color. As long as you know your skin color, you can narrow down the range of color choices to a certain extent, and then determine the hair color based on your preferences, makeup, and clothing. Generally, we categorize skin tone into two main categories - warm tones and cool tones. To identify it is not complicated, extend a hand and observe the veins on the inner side of the wrist. If it appears blue or purple, then you have a cold skin tone. If it appears green, then you have a warm complexion. If you are unsure and feel that it combines both blue and green, then you may have a neutral natural skin tone. Generally speaking, cool skin tones are best paired with cool toned hair, such as gray gold, platinum gold, gray brown, violet, ebony black, etc. People with warm skin tones can pair their hair with warm shades of gold or red, such as golden, warm brown, burgundy, etc.

Choose a color that is similar or similar to your own hair color

However, no matter what hair color you choose, the one that best matches your skin tone is still your own natural hair color. If you want a wig that perfectly blends with your own hair, a color similar to your own hair color is more suitable. For example, if your hair is dark brown, please choose a wig with the same brown tone.

Choose a color that can enhance eye color

The color of the eyes is also a key factor to consider when choosing hair color. Especially nowadays, many people like to wear beautiful glasses of various colors, which makes it even more necessary to choose the appropriate hair color. The correct hair color can enhance your eye color and make your eyes more prominent. For example, if your eyes are blue, then cool hair can help enhance the color of your eyes, such as platinum, grayish gold, and cold brown. Warm hair colors such as gold, copper, and warm brown can complement blue eyes by creating a contrasting effect.

Green eyes can be enhanced by warm hues such as gold, honey gold, and warm brown; Cool colors such as grayish gold and cool brown can also be used to contrast green eyes. Brown eyes can be paired with various hair colors, such as golden brown, reddish brown, and caramel. Warm hair can enhance the richness of brown eyes. Cold toned hair colors, such as taupe, platinum gold, and cool deep brown tones, can also form a sharp contrast with brown eyes.

Consulting professionals

If you are still unsure which hair color is suitable for you, consulting a professional hair dye is also a good choice. They are very sensitive to color and can choose a hair color that matches your needs and skin tone.

Try on wigs of different colors

If you find the above method of selecting hair color very troublesome, you can go directly to the wig store to try it on. This is the most direct and effective method. It is very intuitive to see the suitable hair color for oneself, and then choose the hairstyle according to one's personal style。
