Colour Guide
Choosing the right colour is just as important as choosing the right length or texture. This guide helps you select the perfect human hair wig, weave, closure, or frontal colour for your skin tone, lifestyle, and event — specifically for the Zimbabwean market.
At HairCity, we focus on the colours customers in Zimbabwe actually buy and wear most often — natural blacks, browns, blondes for dyeing, and trendy ombré looks.
Why Colour Choice Matters
The right colour can:
- Look more natural against your skin tone
- Blend better with your eyebrows and edges
- Require less styling or tinting
- Look more professional for work or school
- Stand out beautifully for weddings and events
The wrong colour can look artificial, too shiny, or mismatched. This guide helps you avoid that.
Most Popular HairCity Colours (Zimbabwe Best Sellers)
Soft black with a natural finish. Not too dark, not too shiny.
Ideal for everyday wear and the most realistic match for most Zimbabwean customers.
Deep, bold black for sleek and polished looks. Perfect for formal or professional styling.
Soft warm tones that add dimension and elegance without going too light.
Light blonde commonly used for custom dyeing, highlights, and fashion colours. Best for stylists and creative looks.
Blended dark-to-light tones that create a trendy, modern finish. Excellent for events and photoshoots.
How to Choose the Right Colour
Based on Skin Tone
- Deep/Dark skin tones: 1B, Jet Black, Brown, Ombre
- Medium tones: 1B, Brown, Highlights
- Light tones: Brown, Honey Blonde, 613 (dyed)
Based on Lifestyle
- Work or School: Natural Black or Brown
- Daily wear: 1B Natural Black
- Weddings & events: Ombre or styled brown tones
- Fashion/creative looks: Blonde or custom colours
Matching Closures & Frontals
Always match your closure or frontal colour exactly to your bundles or wig. Even small shade differences can make installs look unnatural.
- Body Wave bundles → Body Wave closure (same colour)
- Curly bundles → Curly closure (same colour)
- 1B bundles → 1B closure/frontal
When unsure, choose 1B — it blends with almost everything.
Dyeing & Custom Colour Tips
Most raw Vietnamese, Brazilian, and virgin human hair from HairCity can be safely dyed or toned.
- Use professional dye products
- Deep condition after colouring
- Avoid repeated bleaching
- Always test a small section first
Tip: Many stylists prefer starting with 613 blonde hair for full colour customization.
