Step1
Choose the style that best fits the shape of your face. The length and style of your wig is the most important factor to complement your face.
Step2
Pick a hair style. Shorter styles are usually easier to care for because you can just shake them and go. That's why these styles are most often recommended. Wig styles are also available in mid-length and long. Some longer styles require more maintenance like regular conditioning to keep them manageable.
Step3
Consider a color. You might want to stick to your normal hair color. Or you can try something wild and crazy. It's even possible to get highlights in a wig. When in doubt, choose a lighter shade because darker hues can overwhelm your face and make you look pale.
Step4
Decide if you want synthetic or human hair. Synthetic wigs require the least amount of care and they come pre-styled. Human hair wigs allow you to create styles just like you would your own hair.
Step5
Ask yourself how you'll feel. One of the most common reasons for a wig is because the woman is going through chemotherapy. This type of cancer treatment can cause you to feel weak and tired at times. Knowing that, you might want to choose a style that requires little work so you always look your best without a lot of effort.
