Does the Length of a Hair Wig Matter?

The first thing you should think about when selecting a hair wig is its length. How can you tell if your wig is the ideal length? Again, that primarily depends on your natural hair. If you're accustomed to having short hair, choose wigs with short hairstyles like taper, pixie, or bob.

If you live in a tropical region and don't want your hair to touch the back of your neck, a short hairstyle would be the best choice. The weather where you live is also a fair factor. A long-haired wig is your best option for keeping your head warm in colder climates while still looking fashionable.

Does the length matter? Your preferences will determine all of that. Buying a long human hair wig makes it much simpler to cut and style to your desired length. Although you have the option to cut your own hair wig, it is best for novices to have a professional stylist do it.

Which Wig Is Best for the Shape of Your Face?

In addition to your natural hair type, your face shape is a crucial factor. You may already know what kind of wig you want, but will it fit the shape of your face? In a similar vein, if you have natural hair, your stylist will almost always use your face structure to help you choose a hairstyle.

Straight, wavy, coily, and curly are the four general types of hair. Each hair type is categorized by the size of the hair strands that comprise it: thick/coarse, medium, and thin. Imagine all the combinations that could arise from these classifications, and you would see that there is no one right way to categorize all hair types in the world. Nonetheless, you should always pick a hairpiece that closely matches the type of hair you have naturally. This is the easiest and safest approach for beginners.

Would you, however, limit yourself to just your natural hair type? Feel free to choose another if you'd rather. What matters most is the signature hairpiece that you are at ease wearing. Once your initial anxiety subsides, you'll discover how many options and possibilities you have. Along with the styling possibilities you never would have imagined.

Technically speaking, stylists would consider your jawline, forehead and hairline, as well as the approximate length-to-width ratio of your entire face. In short, each of the four general face structures goes well with a specific kind of hairstyle. Let's examine each one of them:

• Oval Face Shape
  

In general, an oval face shape has a rounded jawline, a forehead that is wider than the chin, and a face length that is 1.5 times the width of the face. This facial structure is complemented by human hair wigs, such as shoulder-length flips, long wavy hairstyles, and A-line bobs.

The amazing thing about oval faces is that they look good with any hairstyle. If the proportions of your face are balanced, you can wear any hairstyle that is easy on the eyes. Wigs with forward-facing or heavy bangs give off a heavy appearance and should be avoided.

• Round Face Shape
  

A round face is equal in length and width, with plump cheeks and a full, rounded jawline. Long-layered hairstyles, side wave ponytails, and lobs with a side part are hairstyles that accentuate this face shape. However, round faces should stay away from medium voluminous curves, flat-looking pixies, and bobs with blunt bangs. The round face appears larger than usual in these unflattering hairstyles.

The best wig styles are those with off-center parts and those that add height and fullness at the top of your head.

• Square Face Shape
  

A square face shape has strong features like a square chin, a strong jawline, and a forehead that roughly equals the jaw. Its width and length are also equal. These strong characteristics should go well with equally long and strong hairstyles, like an A-line chin-length bob, long waves, or a long-layered hairstyle with side bangs. Hairstyles that draw attention to the strong jawline, like a jaw-length blunt bob, sleek ponytails, and pixie cuts with blunt bangs, should be avoided.

You look even more gorgeous with short to medium-length wigs that give off the roundness and wavy appearance of your face. Additionally, think about layers that would soften your square face, wispy bangs, and off-center parts.

• Long Face Shape

With long angles and a face length that is more common than face width, a long face has a thin, narrow appearance. Long voluminous curls with arched bangs, medium bouncy curls with blunt bangs, and a medium flip-out hairstyle are all flattering hairstyles that go well with this face shape. Volume is essential for long faces in order to achieve that harmonious, lovely appearance.

Avoiding sleek hairstyles is advised because they give the appearance of a longer, thinner face. Hairstyles like voluminous top knot buns, half-up bouffants, and long straight hair with side bangs are not suitable for women with long faces.

• Heart-Shaped Face

A heart-shaped face is characterized by a broad forehead and cheekbones, a narrow jaw and pointed chin, and a width that is less prominent than the length. A curly side ponytail, medium hairstyles with flicks, and curly hairstyles with side bangs are all appropriate for this face shape. Voluminous pixies, low ponytails with blunt bangs, and extremely short voluminous bobs are all unflattering hairstyles to steer clear of.

To maintain the harmony between your narrow chin and prominent cheekbones, stay away from top-heavy wigs. Avoid drawing all the attention to the top portion of your face.

• Diamond-Shaped Face

Which Color of Hair Is Best for My Wig?

Selecting the appropriate hair color for your wig can be quite challenging. However, you should consider your skin tone or color to make it easier. Selecting a shade that is similar to your natural hair color is another piece of advice. Later, when you're more comfortable, you can always try different hair colors.

Choosing a wig color that complements your skin tone should take a lot of time; it's probably not going to be your favorite color. In the event that you remain uncertain, you can always ask your hair stylist for advice.

Will Your Lifestyle Affect the Wig You Choose?

The answer is simple: yes. So, do you prefer to spend the rest of the day in one spot or do you lead an active lifestyle? Asking these questions is crucial because it will help you decide what kind of hair wig would work best in a given circumstance.

Since you don't usually expect much from your wig and your range of motion is more or less restricted, you can buy synthetic hair wigs if you prefer to spend your days sitting at a desk or staying in one spot. However, since human hair wigs are fairly durable, they are your best option if you lead an active lifestyle and are constantly on the go.

In the end, you should stick with the hair wig that best fits your needs; you are not restricted to just one kind. Even better, you can have five different hair wigs to suit every occasion!

Conclusions

While selecting your first hair wig may involve a lot of considerations, it can be enjoyable to mix and match different styles, cuts, and colors. Compared to buying new clothes, you will be wearing them for a longer period of time.
