Define "temporary" lol I use color my hair so it always matches..... but I have used makeup to tint areas around the ears to make them look similar.....

The temporary kind you seek usually wash right out, so sweat under the wig will remove it as well.
I did mine in a bright color for Halloween one year and then saw how easily it washed out and was glad it didn't rain that day...I would have been wearing it all over if it had.

What I do is use a powder for both my eyebrows and the hair in front of my ears. Since my wigs are reddish, I have a red/auburn eye powder that I use for this that I got at MAC. That way if my wig pulls or is blown away from my face, the hairs that are exposed match the general color. It comes right off with makeup remover.

How about just wearing one of those wig caps that covers your natural hair and keeps it in place? Other than thay, you can dye your hair or buy a wig that matches your natural color.

Thank you to all for the wonderful replies and tips.I may have to get a grey/silver wig but I think I look and feel better in a different color

Hi Christa , Change the wig to match your hair color.

I solved that problem I dyed my gray hair blonde to match my wigs and no more side burns.

Christa, I slick back my hair with hair gel, then put on a wig cap, tape it on, and use bobby pins to hold back the unruly hair so they don't stick out. It's a lot more work but you can keep your hair color without any problems, and enjoy almost any wig color.

I agree with Karren I use a little foundation and lite powder on the hair just above the ears and it blends in perfect.
