A number of factors will determine the choice you make whilst wig shopping. Chief considerations should be:
- Budget
- Formal, informal or fashion wear
- Shape of face
- Own skin and hair coloring
BUDGET: Whilst there are high-end human hair wigs costing hundreds and even thousands of dollars it is quite possible to find very good quality synthetic hair wigs for a fraction of the cost. There are many varieties of wig companies offering varying levels of pricing at $100 or under and we strongly recommend Louis Ferre, Wig America, Esthetica, Motown Tress and even our own Glamour Boutique label wigs.
FUNCTION: Decide on the everyday use of the wig. Is it for attending a formal workplace, a glamorous party or simply for wearing in the comfort of your own home? Such considerations will impact on your choice of wig style and color, for example. If attending a party you can obviously be more fashion conscious and daring with color than if you are simply trying to achieve a subtle everyday look.
FACIAL SHAPE: Always choose a wig that enhances your natural facial shape and bone structure. Most common facial shapes are oval (longer length than facial width but extremely well-proportioned), round, narrow-faced and square-faced where there is a prominent jaw and brow/forehead of similar width. Any length and style of wig will compliment the perfect oval-shaped face if you are fortunate enough to have such facial features. Rounder facial features and strong brows and jaw features normally require longer styles and the addition of layers or curls help to diffuse such strong facial characteristics. Try to incorporate good bang length to eliminate prominent brows in particular; page boy styles are particularly successful.

COLOR: If trying to match your own hair color, clip a small sample of your own hair to compare with online color swatches
