Instead of guessing if the Blonde will suit you, see if it matches your Skin Tone or find the one that will.
Consider how your skin looks.
Remember that not every hue will go well with your skin tone. You must be very careful to choose wig that complements your skin tone as a result. To do this, though, you must first determine your skin tone.
The best place to start when figuring out your skin tone is the underside of your wrist. Because it represents your genuine skin tone, it can help you distinguish between hues and undertones. If your veins are more purple or blue in hue, you have a cooler undertone. On the other hand, if your veins appear greener, it denotes a warm undertone. The presence of both suggests that your undertone is neutral.
For your gorgeous colored wig, you should choose a shade that is utterly the antithesis of the undertone in your skin. If you have a cold undertone, for example, you should pick a warm-toned wig. You should also choose a cool-toned wig if your skin has a warm undertone. If your undertone is neutral, pick wigs that are either warm or cold in tone. Additionally, it’s advisable to stick within a few shades of your original hair’s color for a more natural appearance.
Look for specific colors. "Cool-toned skin has blue and olive undertones while warm-toned skin has yellow and gold," says Rachel Bodt, senior colorist at Red Door Spa in New York City.
Match yourself with a celeb. When you're looking for A-list color inspiration, try to pick out people with similar skin and eye coloring to your own. It'll give you a much better idea of how the hue will actually look on you.
Check your wrist… "You'll see the pinks, reds, blues, greens, and yellows there," says Darling. This includes your veins, which are a great indicator of tone. "If your veins are blue or purple, you're likely cool-toned," notes Bodt. "If they are green, you are warm."
…or your eyes. "If you have a lot of gold specks in your eyes, usually your undertones are warm," says George Papanikolas, celebrity hairstylist. "If you have a lot of blues and greens, then you are usually cool."
Shades include: platinum, ice, silver, ash, sand, beige, champagne
Who it's best for: Cool blonde shades are great on porcelain-skinned gals with blue or violet undertones, since those icy hues tend to neutralize redness, according to Chelsey Pickthorn, master hair designer and owner of Pickthorn Salon in Brooklyn. And, a cool, ashy blonde will look great against blue or gray eyes.
Shades include: gold, caramel, amber, honey, butterscotch
Who it's best for: "Fair skin with cool undertones looks better with warm tones like strawberry blondes, copper, honey, and gold," says Papanikolas. He also notes that these hues tend to be better for those with olive skin, as an ashy blonde hue can wash you out. The same goes for those with deep skin: If you want to go light, go for a caramel blonde for a high-impact look.
On the other hand, those with very warm skin should avoid a color that's too yellow for the same reason—cooler blondes will probably work better on you.
Shades include: strawberry blonde, copper, amber, rust, russet
Who it's best for: "Strawberry blondes are great on fair and neutral skin tones," says Pickthorn. "[Tell your colorist to] mix cool and warm tones to achieve a creamy yet warm color with a hint of golden copper." Papanikolas also recommends a light, warm red to counteract cool tones in pale skin (think Emma Stone). These hues tend to make deep skin look green, so choose a cooler, brown-tinged auburn instead if you're hankering to go red (think Rihanna). And want to make your hue really trend-worthy? Opt for a luminous shade of rose gold.
Do you want a natural hair color or a new look?
In recent years, technological advances in hair color are such that almost everything is possible. So it all depends on your taste, your desire for change and the time you have. If you are looking for a more natural hair color, follow these advice from our color expert. - Do not run away from the natural. All the pros confirm that the more natural the hair color, the easier it is to maintain. For Roger Medina, color expert for Garnier, if you have a few grey hairs to cover, stick with dark or light chestnut. If more than half your hair is grey, you can opt for a lighter color. As a general rule, your choice of hair color should not be more than two tones away from your natural color.
Selecting a hair color appropriate for your time of life.
The lighter the color of our hair, the more attractive it is as we age.
Paler skin tones are given a softer, more natural appearance by lighter, warmer hues. Even though such colours are frequently the most attractive, many individuals are reluctant to age in them.
Remember that your skin may start to appear paler than normal if you are receiving chemotherapy treatments as well. Selecting a wig two or three shades lighter than your actual hue is a simple approach to make up for that.
A dark brown tone, for instance, might be an excellent supplementary color if your hair is originally pitch black.
For your gorgeous colored wig, you should choose a shade that is utterly the antithesis of the undertone in your skin. If you have a cold undertone, for example, you should pick a warm-toned wig. You should also choose a cool-toned wig if your skin has a warm undertone. If your undertone is neutral, pick wigs that are either warm or cold in tone. Additionally, it’s advisable to stick within a few shades of your original hair’s color for a more natural appearance.
