Does a Highlight Half Wig Look Natural to Wear?

Is a Highlight Half Wig Natural?

By Anna LeePublished 7 months ago 2 min read

Walking on the streets, you can always see colored hair, such as 99j hair color, blonde hair color, highlight hair color, etc. Some of the colored hair may come from highlight half wigs. Before you purchase a highlight half wig, you may have doubts in your heart: Does a highlight half wig look natural to wear? Will this half wig blend seamlessly with your natural hair? As an experienced person who is falling in love with a highlight half wig, I will share some practical tips for making a highlight half wig naturally!

First attempt and lessons learned

When I first bought a highlight half wig human hair, I only focused on the very unique highlight and chose an exaggerated style of blue highlight dyed, without considering the compatibility with my original hair color and skin color. After receiving it and putting it on, it instantly shocked me - the abrupt blue highlight color didn't match my dark brown hair color I dyed before, and it is very unnatural when I wear it on my head. In addition, the highlight half wig was not seamlessly blended with my natural hair, making me look like wearing a cheap cosplay wig. That failure made me realize that choosing the right color and hair texture is crucial for a highlight wig to be natural.

Later, when I chose my next highlight half wig, I paid much attention on matching hair color and hair texture. I chose a water wave dark blonde highlight half wig. This water wave wig comes with tight, defined curls that is very similar to my original curly hair texture. It is so natural that even my best friend thought I went to the salon to get a new hairstyle!

The core point of making highlight half wigs natural

Color matching is the foundation

The base color of the highlighted half wig should be close to your natural hair color. For example, if your hair is black, gold or brown highlight half wig will be suitable. When I go to work, I often wear a human hair half wig with dark brown highlights, which can show off a low-key and natural appearance but also show my special fashion taste.

Avoid large areas of high contrast pick up, small areas of embellishment are more natural. I have a semi wig with a dyed area that only accounts for 20%. When I wear it to a company meeting, my colleagues only think that I have changed my style, and they don't even recognize it as a wig.

Wearing techniques determine the effect

After wearing, use a comb or your fingers to blend the leave-out hair with the half wig. If you want a more casual look, gently mess the hair with your hands to create a messy and natural feeling.

Conclusion

Wearing a highlight wig naturally is not something that can be achieved just by creating a natural installation like other wear and go wigs. Choosing the right highlight half wig is the first step. Pay more attention on matching hair color and hair texture. Next time you want to try a new look, why not boldly try a highlight half wig? You might get a surprise!
