Find Your Perfect Shade: How to Make Sure Your Topper Looks Like You (No Surprises)
Ever fallen for a “honey brown” online, only to get a “brassy gold” in the mail? Or picked a shade that swore it matched your hair, but felt like a total mismatch once you put it on? Choosing a topper color shouldn’t feel like a guessing game—and with a little help, it won’t.
Let’s Be Real: Colors Are Tricky (But We’ve Got Your Back)
Shades are sneaky. A “chestnut” might glow warm in sunlight but look cool under your bedroom lamp. And those tiny differences between “walnut” and “sandy brown”? They’re easy to miss on a screen, but hard to ignore when you’re wearing the topper.
Worse, your phone and laptop? They’re not color experts. The same hue can look totally different on each—thanks to bright screens, dim settings, or just plain tech quirks. But here’s the good news: We know how to cut through the confusion.
Two Simple Ways to Nail Your Color (Guaranteed)
1. Snap Some Photos—We’ll Do the Matching
Got a color in mind? Send us pics, and we’ll track it down. It could be:
- A celebrity’s iconic shade (think: that “effortless brunette” you’ve been obsessed with).
- A friend’s hair that always makes you think, “I need that!”
- Your own hair (the best move if you want seamless blending).
Pro tip for your hair: Take photos in 2-3 lights—sunlight, indoor lamps, even overcast sky. This way, we catch every warm or cool tone that makes your color unique. We’ll use our pro color wheel to find the closest match, and if we don’t have it? We’ll custom-dye it just for you (for a tiny extra fee).
2. Send a Hair Sample—For “Is This My Hair?!” Results
Want precision? Mail us a snippet of the hair you’re matching (yours, a friend’s, whatever!).
- Snip a piece that’s at least 1.2 inches long and 1/3 inch wide (no need to overdo it—this tiny bit holds all the color secrets).
- Heads up: Hair often fades from root to tip, so cut the part you want to copy (we won’t judge if you go for the “freshly dyed” section!).
- Need a custom root color? Just tell us, and we’ll note it. Toss in a note with your name, email, and what you’re matching—we’ll hit you up as soon as it arrives.
No More “Oops” Moments—Just Toppers That Feel Like You
We’ve seen it before: A color looks “right” online, but in person? It’s a miss. Returns are a hassle, and we want to save you that. Taking 5 minutes to send a photo or sample now means you’ll open your topper box and think, “Yes. This is perfect.”
And if you’re still unsure? Our team’s here to chat. Drop us an email at info@seully.com—we’ll walk you through every shade, every option, until you feel 100% confident.
Because the best topper color isn’t just “nice”—it’s the one that makes you smile when you catch your reflection. Let’s find yours. 💫
