Are black wigs easy to blend with natural hair?

  • Yes, black wigs can be easy to blend with your natural hair; it all depends on finding just the right shade and texture.
     
    The main problem is that black wigs are not one color. Your natural hair probably has depth, with dark brown, blue, or even red undertones. A wig made of one flat, jet-black synthetic fiber tends to look unnatural against that. You want to find a wig that has that multi-tonal quality. Look for options labeled "off-black," "natural black," or "1B" - the most common soft black shade for wigs and hair extensions. For an ideal match, you can also have a professional colorist custom-blend your wig to your hair.
     
    Texture is just as important. A silky, straight wig will not seamlessly blend with coily natural hair. Find a wig texture that really closely resembles your own, be it kinky, curly, or wavy. Styling techniques are your best friend for final integration. Lightly pluck a few hairs out of the wig's hairline to create an even more natural-looking part. Take a flat iron on low heat-if the fiber can take it-and slightly flatten the top layers of both your bio hair and the wig cap; it makes for a much easier transition. Finally, you should always leave out a little of your hair around your face and edges. The way it can be blended with the wig's front fibers effectively erases any harsh lines and creates a flawless, undetectable finish.
