Our team of expert wig stylists share some of their favorite wig colors below.

Favorite 1: Money Pieces

Also known as face-framing highlights, money piece hair is a popular coloring technique that is achieved when you get the front strands of your wig bleached to a brighter and lighter shade. The finished result leaves you with face-framing ‘money pieces’ that add dimension to your wig and help brighten and lift your complexion. Unlike chunky highlights this technique is seamless and can look more natural, depending on your preferences.

Favorite 2: Balayage

Balayage, trending on hair and human hair wigs: long, wavy hair with a dark root melting into blonde, sun-kissed ends

Balayage in both hair and human hair wigs have been trending for some time amongst celebrities. A balayage mimics a natural progression of hair with the roots being the darkest and tips being the lightest. On wigs, balayage usual means adding the lightest shades to your human hair wig to create dimension and pops of color through a hand-painted technique, resulting in that sun-kissed, melted look.

Favorite 3: Reverse Balayage

Reverse balayage, sought after for wigs: long blonde hair with a deeper rooted shadow at the part

Reverse balayage is also a hot trend in the hair world and is highly sought after amongst our clients as well for their human hair wigs. It’s a great way to deepen your color or freshen up your highlight and transition to a more natural look. A reverse balayage adds a darker depth by the rooting and darker highlights in between the already lightened hair to give that added depth of color and make those highlights or lighter dimension really pop. Adding darker dimensions and depth by the roots can be the perfect way to freshen up your color. Think of highlights as adding lighter pops of dimensions and lowlights as adding darker depth.

Favorite 4: Rouge Reds

Copper red example: 16-inch Divine Lace Part wig with soft waves and a center part

This bright, warm, fiery red color is stunning on many skin tones and works particularly well to balance out pink undertones in someone with fair skin. You can also opt for more natural shades of cinnamon if you want to go red but don’t want to overcommit yourself to the maintenance or red hair.
