Hey, wig lovers! We're bringing you tips for choosing the perfect wig for your face shape. Whether you're looking to try a new hairstyle or just want to switch up your look, the right wig can make a big difference. But with so many styles to choose from, it can be tough to know which one will look best on you. That's where face shape comes in.
First things first: determine your face shape. There are generally seven face shapes: oval, round, square, heart, diamond, oblong, and pear. To determine your face shape, take a selfie of your face in natural lighting and look for the following features:
Oval: Forehead is slightly wider than the chin, and the face tapers down to a narrow jawline.
Round: Face is equally wide and long, with soft, curved lines.
Square: Face is equally wide and long, with a strong, angular jawline.
Heart: Forehead is wider than the chin, with a narrow jawline and pointed chin.
Diamond: Face is longer than it is wide, with a narrow forehead and jawline and prominent cheekbones.
Oblong: Face is longer than it is wide, with a narrow forehead and jawline and little width at the cheekbones.
Pear: Face is wider at the jawline and narrow at the forehead, with a rounded chin.
Once you've determined your face shape, you can use the following guidelines to choose a wig that will flatter your features:
If you have an oval face shape, you're lucky! Most wig styles will look good on you. Just be sure to avoid styles that are too short or too long, as these can throw off the balance of your face.
If you have a round face shape, look for wigs with added height or volume at the crown to elongate your face. Avoid styles that are too short or too wide, as these can make your face look rounder.
If you have a square face shape, choose wigs with soft, rounded edges to balance out your strong jawline. Avoid styles with too much volume at the crown or too much height at the top, as these can make your face look boxy.
If you have a heart face shape, look for wigs with volume at the crown and sides to balance out your narrow chin. Avoid styles with too much volume at the top or too much length at the bottom, as these can make your face look top-heavy.
If you have a diamond face shape, choose wigs with volume at the crown and sides to balance out your prominent cheekbones. Avoid styles with too much volume at the top or too much length at the bottom, as these can make your face look top-heavy.
If you have an oblong face shape, look for wigs with added width at the sides to balance out your narrow face. Avoid styles that are too long or too wide, as these can make your face look even longer.
If you have a pear face shape, choose wigs with volume at the crown to balance out your wider jawline. Avoid styles with too much volume at the sides or too much length at the bottom, as these can make your face look bottom-heavy.
Remember, these are just guidelines and ultimately, the most important thing is to choose a wig that makes you feel confident and comfortable. So don't be afraid to try out a few different styles and see what works best for you. And don't forget to store your wigs on the Hold'R™ Door Hanging Headwear Rack from getholdr.com when they're not being worn to keep them looking their best. Happy wig-wearing!
