Wig and Your True Color

Determine your skin tone Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter; then choose your best hair colors.

The goal is to find a shade that complements your skin tone and brings out your natural color. A mistake many women make is choosing a color that’s too dark, when in doubt, go a shade lighter.

SPRING

Warm golden undertones and usually creamy white or peach. Straw-colored or strawberry red hair, freckles, rosy cheeks, and blue or green eyes.

Try: all warm blondes, from bright wheat blonde to intense honey blonde, or light strands in golden blonde shades. Lighten hair rather than toning it down.

SUMMER

Pale and pink undertones. Usually natural blondes or brunettes with pale eyes.

Try: cool and subdued hair colors. Blondes in silver tones, from platinum to ash blonde. Browns without gold effects, and reds should be the blue-red tones.

AUTUMN

Golden undertones. Many redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes fall into this category.

Try: blonde, red and brown tones which head for gold and copper. Even natural carrot red hair can go along fine with henna red.

WINTER

Blue or pink undertones. Pale white, yellowish-olive or dark. Brunettes, with deeply colored eyes.
