How to Determine the Best Wig Color for You - Color Analysis for Hair

Sometimes, it’s tough to pick a wig that really feels like you. With so many styles, textures, and colors out there, it’s hard to know where to start. But here’s a little tip: narrowing things down by color can make all the difference.

Color analysis has been the latest trend and we argue finding flattering colors for you make the biggest difference in how your clothes complement you!

Let’s break down how to find the best wig shade for your unique features—and how to feel confident wearing it.

Start with What You Feel

The best hair color? It's the one that makes you feel amazing. Whatever you're drawn to is usually the right answer. But if you're still figuring that out, we’ve got some tips to help guide you.

Step One: Find Your Skin’s Undertone

For this blog, we’re focusing on the three most common undertones: cool, warm, and neutral.

• Check your veins: If they look blue or purple, you're likely cool-toned. Greenish veins usually indicate warm undertones. A mix? You’re probably neutral.
  
  

• Try the jewelry test: Gold jewelry tends to pop on warm undertones, while silver tends to flatter cooler ones. (That said, this rule is more of a suggestion—I'm cool-toned and wear gold all the time, no shame!)
  

Step Two: Consider Your Natural Coloring

Your natural hair and eye color can help you find wig colors that feel balanced and natural—especially around your brows and features.

• Try staying within 1–3 tones of your natural hair color. This creates harmony, even if the shade is totally different.
  

• Look at your eyes: Blue and brown come in both warm and cool tones. Eyes with gold or amber flecks often lean warm, while gray or silver flecks usually indicate a cooler tone.
  
  

Step Three: Match Your Tone to Hair Color

Now that you know your tone, let’s talk color.

• Warm tones pair beautifully with honey blondes, strawberry blondes, rich auburns, and golden browns. For example, green or hazel eyes with gold flecks? Stunning next to warm, sun-kissed shades.
  
  

• Cool tones tend to shine with ashier shades: platinum blondes, cooler brunettes, or soft black. If your eyes have a silvery or gray hue, an icy blonde or deep, cool brown could really make them pop.
  
  

• Neutral tones? Lucky for you—you can try a wide range of shades. Think creamy beige blondes, neutral browns, or soft caramels. These colors balance warm and cool, making them super versatile and flattering. If you’re in between or unsure of your tone, starting with a neutral hair color is always a safe (and stunning) bet.

At the End of the Day...

All of this is just a starting point. The best wig color is the one that makes you feel confident and like yourself. If you’re still unsure, narrowing your search by what complements your natural features can help make the process feel less overwhelming.
