Pick the right wig for your face shape
What kind of wig would suit my face?
Its a fact that different hairstyles suit different face shapes, so here is a quick guide to help you choose the right wig for your face shape.
Round shaped face – a wide hairline and fullness below the cheekbones. These faces look very good with a geometric or linear style. Add height, when possible, and long, wispy side areas to make the cheeks look narrow. Comb hair close to the head on the side and at the nape.
Square face shape comprises of a wide hairline and jaw. Square shaped faces need height on top and narrowness at the sides. Comb the hair off the forehead to add height to the face. Curly texture and wisps of hair around the face break the wide, straight lines common to the square face.
Diamond shaped faces need narrow sides and fullness at the chin. Bobs work very well for this shape. Avoid wearing height on top or volume on the sides. Use some fringe to cover a narrow forehead.
The heart shaped face has a wider forehead and a narrower chin. Bring some hair onto the forehead to disguise its width. Keep hair close to the head at the eyes but make it slightly full around the jaw, and below and in front of the earlobes.
Pear shaped is usually defined by a small or narrow forehead and a larger jawline. Comb hair to add width from the eye level through the crown of the head. Set and comb hair close to the head on the sides and at the nape.
The oblong shape face is characterised by a very long and narrow bone structure. Generally speaking people who have an oblong facial shape often has a long, thin neck. Use a fringe or half-bang across the forehead by creating soft waves or curls in the crown and nape areas. This helps to create the illusion of an oval.
Oval Shaped Face is longer than wide, with a jaw tat’s narrower than the cheekbones, as the oval shaped face has no dominant areas and is so proportional, this face looks good with just about any hairstyle, length or texture.
