Important Factors You Need To Consider
To know which wig color looks perfect on your head, you need to come to important factors that strongly impact on your appearance. They are tones of skin, face shapes, and the flexibility of the color.
Skin Tones
There is a huge variety of skin colors ranging from dark to light and to easily take them apart, we have skin tones.
What Is Skin Tone?
Human skin has three layers including epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. In the epidermis which is the outermost layer, we have a genetically endowed amount of melanin. Melanin, also known as the dark pigment, is a complex polymer primarily taking responsibility for human skin color. The type of cells that produce melanin is melanocyte. It protects the skin against damages from ultraviolet light in the environment by automatically producing melanin following a natural defense mechanism and this, of course, makes your skin darker. So your skin color depends a lot on how often it is exposed to the sunlight.
Skin tones are generally grouped into 3 main categories: light, medium, and dark.

Skin Undertones
While skin colors vary from light to dark, skin undertone is a permanent factor and it does not change over time. The easiest way to understand this is by looking at makeup products, especially foundations. You can see ‘cool’, ‘warm’, or ‘neutral’ in the name of each shade included in the series. Skin undertones refer to the muted colors beneath the surface of your skin. Since skin undertone remains unchanged, determining yours is very important to choose which wig color is suitable for you.
There are a lot of ways to determine your skin undertone, such as using a gold/silver test or looking at your veins.
Face Shapes
Another factor that has a great impact on your determining wig colors is your face shape. There is a countless number of face shapes with different sizes. However, generally speaking, we have 5 most common ones of them, they are heart-shaped, square-shaped, oval-shaped, round-shaped, and diamond-shaped.
– Heart-shaped Face
A heart-shaped face comes with a wide forehead, a slightly pointed chin, and, especially, an angular jawline. All of them make the face look like a heart.
– Square-shaped Face
Just like a square, square-shaped faces have the width that is nearly equal to the length and an angular jaw – making them look like a square.
– Round-shaped Face
The most significant feature of round-shaped faces is their wide cheekbones with rounded-out foreheads and chins.
– Rectangle-shaped Face
This face shape has the same features as square one but its length is longer than its width.
– Oval-shaped Face
If you have an oblong form with a narrow forehead and rounded chin, you are very lucky because it’s the oval face shape – easy to choose the hairstyle.
Hair Style
You may think that the hairstyle of the wig has no relation with wig colors but the truth is quite different. Each color brings about different appearances in the same style. The development of modern life has led to a wide variety of hairstyles: curly hair, straight hair, wavy hair, etc. so we cannot list all of them out here. We will show you information about two basic hairstyles which are curly hair and straight hair.
