Every face is a unique story - they come in all sizes and shapes, which is incredible. However, it becomes a small issue when choosing the right wig. If you want the perfect wig, you must find out which one will match your face shape and bring out your best features while hiding the ones that you don't want to show.
The perfect wig will always make you feel powerful and confident, but how to choose that perfect one? Don't worry - in this article, we will give you some proven and helpful tips on this matter.
Find Out Your Face Shape, Then Let the Wig Match It
As we mentioned in the beginning, there are many different face sizes and shapes. If you want to choose the perfect wig, the first step would be to find out your face shape if you do not know it already. How to do so? Just stand in front of the mirror, take a pencil or lip liner, and follow the lines of your face. After that, you will see which shape is closest to you.
After you have this information, the choice comes itself. If you have an oval face - you are beyond lucky. This shape is considered a perfect one because it can be matched with almost all wig colors and styles. You'll be able to try different colors and different styles - curly, straight, long, short... - it's all up to your decision! Don't be afraid to try something new - the best colored wigs can add an interesting, new look to your face without the need for dying your natural hair. If you have a round face, we would suggest some wigs that add length and height. For example, you can try long, layered styles, and some volume on top. One more note: remember to avoid chin bobs and styles with volume on the sides.
If you have a square-shaped face, you should try to soften your strong jawline. Try wigs with layers, curls, or waves. Avoid straight, blunt cuts that will just put a stronger accent on the squareness. A square face shape is a perfect characteristic that should be embraced with the perfect wig.
However, other face shapes should be considered. For example, if you have a heart-shaped face, you need to add volume to the chin with your wig - to balance your look, in other words. You can use layered styles or wigs with wide-swept bangs. Avoid heavy and full bangs because they will only emphasize the forehead. Finally, if you have a diamond-shaped face, we would recommend a bob wig - straight or curly. The diamond shape means a narrower chin and forehead, as well as wider cheekbones, so you need a wig that will help create a slimmer look.
Choose the Right Cap
The wig cap is also a very important part of every wig, so you want to be sure you've chosen the right one. Some of the main types are lace front (just the front lace part), full lace (made entirely of lace), monofilament (with a fine mesh that shows your scalp through the wig), and basic cap wigs (great option for beginners). Always pay attention to how the cap feels on your head when you're trying wigs. It should be comfortable (because you will wear a wig for a long period), not tight or snug.
Human Hair Wigs or Synthetic Wigs?
This is also a big question that pops up as soon as you decide to buy a wig. Human hair wigs are made from real hair, so they look more fresh and natural, of course. You can treat them just like you would treat your own hair with different tools and colors. However, as technology is evolving, synthetic wigs are made so well that you cannot tell the difference between them. Not to mention that synthetic wigs are cheaper and don't need much maintenance. They are already styled, and they keep that style even after washing. If you don't want to spend hours on your hair every morning, this is a perfect choice.
Consult With Professional
If you are still not sure which wig is the best option for you, remember that you can always consult a professional. They are professionals when it comes to choosing wigs, so they can give you good recommendations based on your face shape and style preferences. They can also give you some extra fitting and styling tips. Even if you know what you want, extra tips can not hurt!
Now that you have these guidelines, let the wig shopping begin! Remember, these should just serve as suggestions to help you choose the wig, but the best wig is always the one that makes you most comfortable and confident. We believe you'll know when you find it.
