How to choose your hair topper colour
As well as choosing the right base and size of hair topper you also need it to match your hair colour as closely as possible. Sometimes it can be very hard to find the right match to your bio hair. In this blog, we have put together a guide to make it a little easier to navigate.
The best way to determine what your own natural hair colour is is to take a number of photos in natural light. The best way of achieving this is to take a photo of your hair by a window.
Most ladies’ hair has a contrast in colour between the roots and underneath parts and lengths of their hair. Choosing the right colour hair topper doesn’t have to be an exact match to your natural hair. You can wear a number of different shades that will all work with your natural hair.
Mel at Mello-Hair has been wearing hair toppers for the last four years each of Mel’s hair toppers worn on a regular basis are different shades of brown. Each shade works well with her natural hair underneath. Mel takes all of her hair toppers to her hairdresser who will colour her natural hair to blend in perfectly with all of her hair toppers.
