"Does my hair topper need to match my hair color exactly?" This is one of the most common questions we hear. The short answer is: not necessarily. While a close match is important, the ultimate goal is seamless blending. This guide will walk you through how to choose the shade for your human hair topper to achieve a natural, undetectable look.

For Human Hair Toppers, "Blend" is More Important Than "Perfect Match"

For beginners trying hair toppers for women, color matching can be a major source of anxiety. In reality, 100% color matching is very difficult to achieve. Because our natural hair has multidimensional color variations that change with light, season, and styling.

Instead of stressing over an exact match, focus on blending. A successful blend means your clip on hair topper and your bio hair come together to create a harmonious, cohesive look. The right color blend will enhance your overall appearance without drawing attention to the fact that you’re wearing a topper.

How to Choose the Right Color for Your UniWigs Hair Topper?

Selecting your shade is easier than you think, especially with these professional methods:

1. Review Photos & Descriptions Carefully: Start by examining product photos in various lighting conditions and read the detailed color descriptions. Keep in mind that screen settings can alter how colors appear. Descriptors like "ashy" or "warm golden" are often more accurate than the photos. If you're unsure, email us at [email protected] with photos of your hair in natural daylight. Our team is always ready to help!

2. Order a Color Swatch: For the most accurate match, we recommend using our Color Ring Loan Program. This allows you to compare physical hair swatches directly against your own bio hair in the comfort of your home. It’s the best way for beginners to confidently select a shade. 

3. Send Us a Hair Sample: For the ultimate precision, send us a sample of your hair. Our experienced hair designers will personally analyze it and choose the best possible color match for you. We will contact you as soon as we receive your sample to confirm the perfect shade. This service ensures you will be completely satisfied with your human hair topper's color.

4 Pro Tips to Match Your Bio Hair Like a Pro

Tip #1: Match Your Roots: The most critical rule for a natural blend is to match the root color of the topper to the root color of your bio hair. If the roots match, you can seamlessly blend a range of dimensional colors throughout the lengths.

Tip #2: When in Doubt, Go Customized: If you can't find an exact match, it's always safer to choose a lighter shade. A professional stylist can easily darken a human hair topper or add lowlights to create a custom blend. It is much more difficult to lighten a piece that is too dark.

Tip #3: Consider Base Size: If you are choosing a larger base topper (such as 9’’x9’’ Savannah silk topper or 8.5’’x9’’ Breeze lace front topper) that will cover most of your bio hair, the color match does not need to be as precise.

Tip #4: Use Root Touch-Up Products: For a quick and easy fix for minor mismatches, use a root powder or concealer that matches your root color. Lightly dab it onto the topper's base and along the part line to help blend any slight differences instantly.
