6 Tips For Choosing a Wig Color

If you have been a part of the wig world for any amount of time you will soon realize that there are an... abundance of color options, and that is probably an understatement. Ranging from beige blondes, to burgundy browns, and everything in between, you are sure to find a color that you adore. But, How? That is the real question. It isn’t as bad as you think, and with a little persistence and help from our team you will be able to find something suitable to your needs!

1. What do all of the numbers mean?

Many of the manufacturer’s will use a number system to describe their color line, others choose to give the colors a name, and then some will use both. Generally, a common base knowledge of the number system is a fantastic start to knowing what you are looking for. So... we made you a chart that is pretty helpful, I must say. Keep in mind this is a general guideline for the color numbers, and manufacturers will still use creative license to vary from the chart.

 

BLACK BROWN BLONDE RED  GREY
1 - True Black 2 - Darkest Brown 14 - Dark Ash Blonde 27 - Strawberry Blonde 38 - Medium Brown with 25% Grey
1B - Off Black 4 - Dark Brown 16 - Medium Honey Blonde 28 - Bright Auburn 44 - Dark Brown with 50% Grey (Salt & Pepper)

6 - Dark to Medium Brown 18 - Light Ash Blonde 30 - Medium Natural Auburn 48 - Light Brown with Light Grey Blend
8 - Medium Golden Brown 22 - Lightest Ash Blonde 32 - Medium to Dark Copper 51 - Light Grey with 20% Brown
10 - Light Brown 24 - Medium Golden Blonde 33 - Dark Burgundy 56 - Silver Grey
12 - Lightest Ash Brown 26 - Honey Blonde 130 - Bright Copper Red 60 - True White


613 - Pre Bleached Blonde 133 - Deep Plum Red

 

As an example: Jon Renau’s color 6/33 will be a base color of 6 (Dark to Medium Brown) and then has a highlight blend of 33 (Dark Burgundy). 

2. OK, what about color names?

Numbers can be a lot to remember and we believe that is why many manufacturers have switched to giving the color options, names. For example: Shaded Praline is a color name by Jon Renau and this one happens to also have the number name 12FS8. 

Most of the color names are descriptive in some fashion, but sometimes you are going to want the details of the color mix. Getting the right color after all, is what we want for you! To break it down, there are color charts for every brand with a description for each color. Many times their descriptions will give you exactly what the color is made of and the highlighting it has. 

Example: If you were to look up the color Shaded Praline in our color chart by Jon Renau this is the description you would get: Light golden brown, light natural golden blond, and pale natural gold blond blend with medium brown roots.

Now, where can the color charts be found... 

3. Color Chart Locations?

4. Expert Tips For Choosing Color

Color is a beautiful thing and brings so much personality to our style! We believe finding a color that suits your personality and features will make you feel like you're walking the runway every day. 

Here are a couple tricks to use that will help you find something in your niche. 

 

Trick #1 Color Undertones:

Notice that some colors will be either warm, cool, or neutral toned. This can help you figure out what tends to look best on you and how it compliments your skin’s undertone. Typically as a rule, you will want a color that matches your undertones because those colors will bring out more radiance in your appearance.

 

Trick #2 Model Color:

The model is always wearing a color and there is a chance it is the color you are looking for. Find the name of the color shown on every product page.

 

Color Shown is 6F27 (Caramel Ribbon)

 

Trick #3 YouTube!:

The wig world has grown vastly and so many people are willing to share their hair knowledge to help you with your journey. YouTube has created an environment that allows you to get the latest reviews and details on your style. We suggest taking a look at a YouTube video or review of your style and/or color. There is nothing quite like a picture, so a video is even better, right?!

 

When Searching For a Review - Notice the lighting you are seeing the wig in (natural or in-doors will look different). Also, note the reviewer’s face shape and skin tone because it is likely different from yours.

A couple of our favorite reviewers are Hey Wig Sister, Let’s Talk With Kim, Pretty Wigs Please, & Wear the Hair Sis.

And of course you could always check out our channel, Name Brand Wigs.

5. Order a Color Ring?

If you are wanting a tangible sample of hair then this is a great option. Our color rings give you a small swatch of hair displaying each color. Color Rings are divided by brands and are fully refundable upon return, you just cover the shipping! Color Rings
