Hair loss can be a deeply personal journey, and for many, wigs become more than just a hair replacement—they're a form of self-expression and confidence. But here’s a question many people struggle with: How do you choose the right wig for your face shape?
If you've ever tried on a wig that just didn't look quite right but couldn’t figure out why—this episode is for you. Today, we’re breaking down how to find the perfect wig based on your face shape, so you can enhance your natural beauty and feel your absolute best.
Let’s get into it!
Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing a Wig
Just like with haircuts, certain wig styles complement different face shapes better than others. The right wig can balance your features, highlight your best angles, and create a natural, effortless look.
To start, let’s identify your face shape. Stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back, and take a good look at the outline of your face. Most people fall into one of these categories:
✔ Oval – Balanced proportions with a slightly curved jawline
✔ Round – Soft, full cheeks with a rounded chin
✔ Square – A strong, defined jawline with equal width at the forehead
✔ Heart-shaped – A wider forehead with a narrow, pointed chin
✔ Diamond – High cheekbones with a narrower forehead and jawline
✔ Long (Oblong) – A longer face with a straighter jawline
Once you’ve figured out your shape, let’s talk about the best wig styles for each one!
Best Wigs for Oval Face Shapes
Good news! Oval face shapes can pull off almost any wig style. Your well-balanced proportions mean you can experiment with short, long, curly, or straight wigs without much limitation.
⭐ Best Wig Styles: Long waves, sleek bobs, layered cuts
❌ What to Avoid: Overly heavy bangs that can make the face appear shorter
Try This: A soft, layered wig with natural movement, like the Emily Taylor Wigs Luxe Layered Wig for an effortlessly chic look.
Best Wigs for Round Face Shapes
If you have a round face, the goal is to add length and angles to create balance. Look for wigs with layers, volume on top, or styles that frame your face.
⭐ Best Wig Styles: Long straight wigs, angled bobs, side-parted styles
❌ What to Avoid: Blunt cuts or chin-length bobs, which can make the face look fuller
Try This: A long, side-parted wig like the Emily Taylor Wigs Sleek Silhouette Wig to elongate your features.
Best Wigs for Square Face Shapes
Square faces have strong jawlines, so soft, layered wigs can help add curves and femininity.
⭐ Best Wig Styles: Loose waves, side-swept bangs, shoulder-length cuts
❌ What to Avoid: Super straight, blunt-cut wigs that emphasize the jawline
Try This: A curly or wavy wig like the Emily Taylor Wigs Soft Curls Wig to balance strong features.
Best Wigs for Heart-Shaped Faces
Heart-shaped faces tend to have a wider forehead and narrower chin, so the best wigs add volume around the jawline to create balance.
⭐ Best Wig Styles: Chin-length bobs, wavy lobs, curtain bangs
❌ What to Avoid: Too much volume at the top, which can exaggerate a wide forehead
Try This: A shoulder-length wig with soft waves like the Emily Taylor Wigs Natural Wave Wig.
Best Wigs for Diamond Face Shapes
Diamond-shaped faces have high cheekbones and a narrower forehead and jaw. The goal here is to add width to the forehead and jawline while softening the cheekbones.
⭐ Best Wig Styles: Side-swept bangs, medium-length layers, voluminous curls
❌ What to Avoid: Super short or straight styles that make the face appear too narrow
Try This: A layered, shoulder-length wig with volume like the Emily Taylor Wigs Luxe Volume Wig.
Best Wigs for Long (Oblong) Face Shapes
If you have a longer face, wigs with width and volume will help balance out your proportions.
⭐ Best Wig Styles: Bouncy curls, layered lobs, full bangs
❌ What to Avoid: Extra-long, straight wigs that make the face look even longer
Try This: A voluminous, shoulder-length wig like the Emily Taylor Wigs Glam Wave Wig.
