As far as face shape and optium wig choices(until my hair finally grows back) which looks better on me.



or



remember i love honesty even the brutal type tell me what i need here not what i want to here....

thanks.

i can't tell.

The brown wig is too close up to see it's pattern and the blond wig is too far way to really see it.

my main concern was my face shape. I have been told by others that my face shape needs medium length hair but others inisist that a short bob cut is best. I think the longer covers my face better.

this might be a better pic



though it was for a show......it will give u an idea of my build......i dance on weekends for fun but i will go rle in 6 months and that is my main concern...i dont want to be read as a queen just the woman i am.

If the brown is similar in length to Annah's avatar, I'd go with that.  It would frame your face better I think.

almost idectical

that wig (blond one) looks more like a drag queen wig than a regular wig. I am not trying to sound mean but you wanted bluntness.  But I will give you suggestions and wont leave you hanging in the dark.

1. Go to a Salon...a reputable one and ask a stylist about which hair style will look better for you. From your pics you have a very round face and a bob cut will probably be better for you. If you make the decision to lose weight then your hair style may change as your facial shape may change.

2. Get a better wig. That wig looks artificial. You do not have to spend thousand of dollars to get a lifelike wig but you do have to do your homework to find a good wig at a decent price.  I have a friend who I swore her hair was real...even at close up. She told me it was a wig. She said it was a monofilament wig lace front. So start there. She paid 300 for it. Stay away from blond and black wigs.

Blond and black wigs just look very artificial unless you get a real hair wig or spend thousands on a monofilament wig. Also stay away from shiny wigs. Blond and black wigs can appear very shiny...some red ones can as well.

3. I know this isn't under the genre of a wig but wear loser fitting clothing. Loser fitting clothing will hide your body shape and give more of a feminine look.  Plus, you stated you want to be seen as a real woman and not a drag. Those outfits kinda remind me of dragqueen. If you want that then it's fine....but it's only my suggestions.

Hope that helps!

the third pic was actually me as a queen i dance occasionaly for fun i hang out at clubs so much i get pulled up on stage and started liking it. that is actually 3 wigs(long story). The one in the first pic i actually paid 200$ for i went to a wig shop that specializes in women cancer patients. i have gone from 274 to 230 in three months (900 calorie day,4 miles a day walk) and goal weight of 165 which i am right on track for. i am loosing weight fast.The first pic was taken about an hour ago. I am naturally blond which is why i went with the blond wig.

that's awesome with the weightloss!

If you are going to stay with the blond hair, I would save up and invest in a real hair wig that's blond

I have to say that Annah really nailed it for advice.

From what I can tell, I'd stick with that first wig. I would still like to see what it looks like from a further distance. You certainly look the most convincing and natural in the first one.

If it makes you feel any better, I had hair down to my mid back by the first year out of highschool. I decided to cut it all off because I need a "change'. One of the worst ideas EVER! So, I know the pain of trying to grow hair out.

long hair flatters round faces as it makes ur face look longer, In all honesty i believe a long possibly shoulder lenght wig would work fine

Took me 3 years.. 15 trims later and a whole hella lot of waitin.

I like the blonde wig... I'd go for a more natural blonde style.

I'm unsure what would be best on you. I'd like to say the brown fits you better in general, but that might be because the blonde one looks a bit fake as mentioned before.

I'd maybe suggest you go for a shoulder-ish length brown wig until you can grow your natural hair out sufficiently. You do look like you'd look nice with blonde hair though ... it's just as Annah already said, good looking blonde wigs are hard to find.

here is one of the ones i was looking at http://humanhairwigs.org/humanhairminifall.aspx

that's not a full covering tho....just the back side. Just wanna make sure u know that.



Cheapest real hair wig is around 600-700 dollars for a full covering. Also, real hair wigs u have to consider shaping and styling. The pics u see are after they have a hair dresser style it.
