Title: I need help choosing a wig
Post by: Julie1957 on August 06, 2013, 06:51:04 PM
Please help me decide which wig is best.  I want to just blend in.  Which of these (or none) looks most natural.  Thanks for your help.

You might want to check this link out.

http://thebeautydepartment.com/2012/11/finding-your-face-shape/ (http://thebeautydepartment.com/2012/11/finding-your-face-shape/)

What is the shape of your face?

Which of the wigs, in terms of length, style, and colour, most closely matches the style of your face?

I hope you don't mind but I felt that rather than tell you what *I* think which wig most closely matches your face, I would give you the basic way of being able to decide for yourself which wigs best suit your face.

This is how women decide what hairstyle (or wig) best suits their face - they consider facial shape and then length, style and colour of the hair (or wig).

#2 is the best. Hands down. Best color for your skin and best shape for your face. Also sits nicely at your shoulders.

8.

I might be a little biased as it looks like my wig.

That said, if you had shown me any one of those pictures on its own, I would have said that you look good, because you do!

And speaking of wigs, I've always thought that I would change it up regularly depending on my mood.  Do you have to pick just one?

(Edit - you look great as a blonde in the first three pictures too.)

Thanks to all of you again who helped me with your opinion. 

Some feedback that might be helpful:
* The three wigs that you suggested most were the 3 most expensive wigs - maybe cost IS important!
* The three wigs that you suggested most were chosen for me by a wig expert.  Most recently she suggested that I wear blonde or strawberry blonde - I've never been a blonde before so I didn't really know if it looked right (but by the way, I value your opinions more than I value the wig specialist's opinion).  I guess she was right.  So going to a good wig shop is probably a good idea.

Thanks again.
Lori
