Most Natural Wigs

The hardest part of choosing a wig is finding one that looks real. When shopping for wigs, it is easy to let personal preference influence your choice. Instead of focusing on what you like, spend time searching for a wig that will look like your real hair. Wearing a wig that looks real increases confidence and helps get rid of any anxiety you might have about using a wig.

Realistic Hair Colors

Choosing a unique hair color gives the wearer a chance to experiment with a new look. It also increases the chances of having the wig detected. The most natural wigs have light and dark highlights, similar to real hair. Brown wigs with light or dark highlights are the best choices when you are selecting a wig that looks natural.

Medium Length

Wigs with flowing locks are attractive, but as time passes longer wigs shed and become difficult to maintain. Long wigs have thinner layers of hair and as shedding continues they get bare patches that are difficult to hide. Medium hair length wigs (just below shoulders) are thicker and do not shed so quickly.

Parted Style

Getting a wig with a part in the middle or side revealing a hint of "scalp" can fool even the most attentive observer. Wigs with parts are often in the latest style and make people who know the wearer assume she has simply gotten a new haircut. People not familiar with wigs will usually assume the wig is your natural hair because of the part and visible gap in the style.

Human Hair

Human hair wigs are expensive, but they are much more difficult to spot than synthetic hair. Wigs made using human hair have realistic colors, and the careful strand-by-strand building of human hair wigs creates a natural look that is hard to duplicate. Since human hair wigs require the same care as human hair, they never have the dull, worn appearance of synthetic hair wigs.
