Whether you're choosing a wig for a night out, create a new and exciting look, or as a means of dealing with thinning hair and hair loss, finding a wig that is right for you can be challenging because there are so many different types on the market. Some wigs create an amazingly natural look, while others are obviously synthetic hairpieces. There are several key elements involved in choosing a wig that will give you the look you desire.
Size, Style, and Cap Construction
Standard wigs are available in several different sizes, from petite to large, and designed to fit most people. While most adults can wear an average size wig, it's essential to take your measurements to ensure the perfect fit. A wig that is too loose or tight is uncomfortable and tends to look unnatural and artificial. A properly sized cap is an essential element of choosing a wig with a natural appearance.
The length and style of your wig should complement the shape of your face to maximize and flatter your best features. The wrong style can make your wig obvious, while a complementary style can create a very natural look that can pass the closest scrutiny.
Often overlooked because it is on the inside of the wig, sits against the head, and is not clearly visible, cap construction is critical when choosing a wig. Wigs manufactured with inferior construction methods or lower quality raw materials often look synthetic and artificial even with proper size and style.
Synthetic vs. Human Hair
Natural human hair offers the most natural look and feel. High-quality wigs constructed of natural hair are easily styled and very durable, lasting for as much as a year or longer with the right care. These wigs are incredibly versatile and can be highlighted or colored like natural hair. They look and move like natural hair, making them ideal for people with an active lifestyle.
High-quality synthetic hair offers a look and feel similar to human hair and is more affordable. Synthetic wigs require a minimal amount of maintenance and are weather and UV resistant. The synthetic fibers are easy to care for, require less styling, and most synthetic wigs can be worn right out of the box.

There are several things to consider when choosing a wig that is right for you. It's essential to find the wig that meets your needs, is comfortable, and makes you look and feel fabulous. One important consideration is how often you intend to wear a wig. If you intend to wear the wig daily, you will want to choose the highest quality wig possible.
It's also important to consider how you plan on styling the wig. While more expensive, human hair is versatile, enabling you to color, curl or perm the wig as you would your own natural hair. Synthetic wigs are less expensive and require little or no styling, but the style is set and not changeable.
