Black Wigs

Choosing a Black Wig

Black wigs can sometimes to be difficult to pull off - unless you have access to a combination of expert guidance, and top quality stock to choose from. Here are some of our top tips to help you choose the perfect black wig with confidence!

Black Wig Shades

Choosing the perfect shade of black is the secret to making sure that your new 'do looks totally natural - and this is a colour with an array of tones and options to choose from!

The first place to start is your skin tone - this will play the biggest role in the shade that you choose. Darker skin tones have a wider range of options here, and will look incredible in strong, pure black shades such as Midnight Iris and Rich Ebony; the perfect tones to add a fierce, dramatic vibe to your look.

Contrary to popular belief, fairer skin tones can also pull off black hair - the trick is to find a shade that stops you looking washed out. Adding extra warmth through chocolate or caramel highlights can be very effective, or you can opt for highlights of cherry or violet to make a serious style statement and brighten the hair - perfect for complementing fairer skin tones.

Ultimately, selecting a wig colour comes down to personal preference - and the best way to find your perfect match is to try on as many shades and tones as possible to discover the most flattering, show stopping option for you.

Best Black Wig Styles

In addition to finding the perfect shade, you also need to consider the best style for your wig - from long, voluminous styles to short choppy styles, we offer an array of black wigs to suit every taste, budget and style.

Human Hair Black Wigs

Human hair wigs are a popular choice thanks to their extreme versatility. Although they may come pre-styled, they can be easily cut and styled in the same way as normal hair, offering you greater choice and variety. If you do intend to change up your style and cut your black wig, make sure you leave it to hairdressing professionals who have experience in wig cutting. It is also important to take care of your new locks with the right human hair wig products to leave your strands looking and feeling their best.

Styles from Ellen Wille

Pure elegance and style can be achieved with Ellen Wille’s long espresso black wigs that include the Emotion Wig and Cascade wig. Both styles are part of Ellen Wille’s Pure Power Collection and are constructed out of the highest quality Remy Hair that creates the illusion of natural hair.

Wigs from Gem Collection

Combining soft to touch Remy Hair and a hand tied foundation, black wigs from Gem Collection are the epitome of quality and luxury. Two popular choices are the Amber Wig and the Diamond Wig; both available in True Black shades.

Fibre Hair Black Wigs

Fibre black wigs are made from man-made fibre, which is designed and created to look and feel like natural human hair. These are a great option for those looking to change up their style, as they tend to be a little more affordable in price. Remember, however, that you cannot use heat or human hair dye to style synthetic locks, meaning it can be harder to change up your look.

Here at Joseph's Wigs, we offer a wide range of top-quality fibre hair wigs in a range of black shades, allowing you the choice you need to select your ultimate style.
