Easily Becoming Brunette
Wigs are a great way to become any hair color instantly! Even if the wig wearer is not brunette, a brown wig can cover any existing hair and create a new look in minutes.
Varieties of Brown Wig Colors
Every manufacturer we sell offers their own unique variety of colors, brown wig colors included. Brown wigs come in all lengths, shapes, sizes, and densities. Highlights in brown wigs give them dimension and character. Brown wigs can be highlighted with blonde, red, silver, and gray. Both human hair and synthetic hair can be brunette. Below are explanations of different tones found within brown and brunette shades that can be helpful while perusing all color options we have available.
Warm Brown Wig Shades
Warm brown wig shades are tones that have more red, or copper, or gold tones to them. Certain warm tones look more natural or are more flattering on certain skin tones compared to others. Most human hair wigs lend to a warm brown tone as they are usually processed from darker hair to achieve a consistent color.

View ProductCool Brown Wig Shades
Cool brown wig shades are tones that have more of an ashy, or gray, or even blue hue to them, and are devoid of warmth. Cool tones are more complimentary on some skin tones, but are not for everyone. Some cool tones in brown hair are a good transition color for people wanting to venture into going gray from brown hair. As human hair wigs are usually warm toned, if a cool tone is preferred when shopping for a human hair wig, then a professional hair stylist or colorist will likely need to be involved to produce the desired color. We encourage a conversation with the desired stylist prior to making the purchase.

View ProductBrown Wig Care and Maintenance
Maintaining a brown wig is no different than maintaining any other color. Some human hair brown wigs are known to lighten gradually over time due to oxidation and washing. Synthetic brown wigs keep their color no matter how many times they are washed. However, synthetic brown wigs may lose their shine after months of wear.
