Brown Wigs

Brown wigs soften a look without the commitment of dye. This collection runs from dark chocolate through chestnut and honey highlights to ginger and reddish brown, in human hair and in braided styles.

Brown shades

  • Dark and chocolate brown (#2, #4): the closest to natural dark hair, good for a subtle change.
  • Highlights and ombre (4/27, T1B/30): darker roots with honey or auburn ends for dimension.
  • Ginger and reddish brown: warm brown with copper tones.
  • Brown braids and locs: faux locs, box braids and cornrow wigs in brown and ombre brown.

Choosing your brown

Cool, deep skin tones often suit dark chocolate and espresso shades. Warm undertones pick up honey, caramel and ginger well. Ombre with a dark root looks the most natural at the parting, because the root matches your own hair.

Keeping brown wigs from fading

  • Wash in cool water with a colour-safe, sulfate-free shampoo.
  • Keep the wig out of direct sun when you are not wearing it.
  • Use a heat protectant before heat styling human hair, since heat can warm the tone.

Frequently asked questions

What do colour codes like 4/27 and T1B/30 mean?

Numbers are standard hair colours: 1B is natural black, 2 and 4 are dark browns, 27 is honey blonde and 30 is auburn. 4/27 mixes 4 and 27 as highlights. T1B/30 is an ombre that starts 1B at the root and fades to 30.

Can I dye a brown human hair wig darker?

Yes. Human hair takes dye, and going darker is easier than going lighter.
