Let’s be real for a second—shopping for alternative hair can feel like a lot. There’s the cap construction, the length, the density, the lace front, the return policy… and then the most overwhelming question of all: What if the colour doesn’t match my hair?

We get it. Hair colour is personal. It’s tied to your identity, your confidence, your sense of style. And when you’re dealing with hair loss, feeling like yourself in your new hair is everything.

That’s exactly why Lusta has created one of the most thoughtful and in-depth colour matching processes in the world of wigs and toppers. We don’t just want your piece to fit—we want it to blend so seamlessly that even your bestie won’t know it’s not your bio hair.

So if you’re scrolling through our site wondering where to even begin, don’t worry. We’re here to guide you through the full journey to finding your perfect match. Let’s break it down 👇

Step 1: Understanding Our Colour Collection 🌈

At Lusta, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter colours. Our collections are curated (and constantly evolved) based on real women’s hair. That means our shades reflect what’s actually on people’s heads—not just what looks good in studio lighting.

Here’s what sets our colours apart:

• Multi-dimensional: Most of our colours have a blend of tones to give natural depth—just like real hair.

• Rooted shades: Many of our pieces feature soft, natural-looking roots for an undetectable blend.

• Lived-in vibes: We’re all about the salon-fresh, balayaged, slightly-grown-out feel (aka hair that looks expensive).

• Neutral tones: No crazy undertones here. We stay away from overly warm, ashy, or brassy colours that scream “wig.”

From rich brunettes to icy blondes, natural blacks to sun-kissed melts, we’ve got something for every vibe.

Step 2: Use Our Free Colour Match Service 🎥💌

This is your golden ticket. At Lusta, we offer a completely free colour match service that takes the guesswork out of choosing your shade.

How it works:

1. Snap a few photos of your hair in natural light (we’ll guide you on how to do this!).

2. Send them to us via the form on our colour matching page.

3. One of our expert team members (yes, real humans!) will personally review your photos and recommend the best match for your hair.

This isn’t some AI-generated filter. We’ve colour matched thousands of women and know exactly what to look for—undertones, root depth, gradient, the lot. You’ll get a response within 1–2 business days with personalised advice, plus links to specific pieces that match your vibe.

Pro tip: If your hair is dyed or has grown-out roots, make sure to mention that in your form. We’ll take everything into account so you get a blend that feels authentic to you.

Step 3: Try Before You Commit (Thanks to Our Risk-Free Returns) 💁‍♀️💸

Even though our colour match process is pretty spot-on, we know that seeing your piece in person is the true test. That’s why we offer risk-free returns for first-time customers.

This means you can:

• Try the piece on in natural lighting

• Compare it against your bio hair

• See how it feels when styled your way

And if it’s not quite right? Send it back for a full refund (including shipping!)—as long as you haven’t altered the piece or used products on it.

This return policy makes it so much easier to explore new colours without the pressure.

Step 4: Know Your Colour Goals 🎯

Are You Matching or Transforming?

Before choosing a shade, ask yourself: Am I trying to match my current hair perfectly? Or am I looking for a glow-up?

If you’re matching:

You want something that blends with your bio hair so no one can tell you’re wearing a piece. This is common for topper wearers who leave some of their own hair out.

Our team will help you get as close to your natural colour as possible—including root depth and undertones. You can even send us pics of your hair styled how you normally wear it (straightened, curled, or natural) to help us get it right.

If you’re transforming:

Maybe you want to go lighter, darker, or bolder. Maybe you’ve always dreamed of trying warm blonde but never wanted to bleach your bio hair.

This is your chance to play.

Just let us know your dream colour, and we’ll suggest something beautiful that works for your skin tone, eye colour, and personal style. Trust us—we love a transformation moment.

Step 5: Customising the Colour 💇‍♀️

Want to tweak a piece? You totally can.

All Lusta Hair pieces are made with 100% high-quality human hair, which means you (or your stylist) can:

• Tone it (e.g. add ashiness or remove warmth)

• Add lowlights or highlights

• Darken or deepen the colour

• Add root shadow for a more natural blend

We’ve even got a full blog post on how to dye your topper or wig and a directory of stylist recommendations around the world.

The only thing we don’t recommend? Bleaching. It can damage the hair and shorten its lifespan, so it’s always safer to go darker or add dimension rather than lift colour.

If you’re planning a colour transformation, chat with us or your stylist beforehand to plan it properly.

Step 6: Watch Colour Matches in Action 🎬👀

Still unsure? Head to our Instagram page. We do loads of colour match videos, real-life try-ons, and behind-the-scenes footage of our pieces in different lighting.

Sometimes, seeing someone else wear your shade is the best way to know it’ll work for you.

FAQs We Get All the Time About Colour Matching 💬

Q: Can I send in a photo with my hair up?
Try to send it down, clean, and in natural daylight (not yellow or artificial lighting). This gives us the most accurate view of your tones.

Q: What if I’m between two shades?
That’s what we’re here for! We’ll recommend the one that blends best, and if needed, we can recommend a slight root touch-up or toner to make it seamless.

Q: Is the colour in the photos exactly what I’ll get?
We do our best to show colours accurately, but lighting and screen settings can impact how a colour looks. That’s why our free colour match service and flexible returns are game changers.

Q: What if I get the wrong colour?
No stress! As long as you haven’t used hair products or customised the piece, you can send it back for a refund or exchange.
