Choosing The Right Wig

Posted on Thursday, 9th May, 2019

Choosing the right wig can be overwhelming so here is an easy-to-read 5 step guide to get you started.

What's my style?

Here at Hair By Pero, we have a huge range of beautiful wigs, and you can get by length, texture and colour. Whether you are looking for a straight wig, curly wig, short or long wig, we have the style for you!

Remember different lengths and styles will compliment different face shapes so you’ll want to choose one that flatters your face shape and gives your wig a natural appearance.

What’s my wig size?

When buying wigs online you may be wondering what size to get? An average size wig will fit 95% of our customers and the adjustable straps will work to give you a perfect and secure fit.

To make sure you get the correct size wig we suggest you measure your head using a soft measuring tape.

The main measurement is the circumference of your head from the hairline, behind the ear, to the nape of your neck, behind the second ear and back to the front of the hairline.

Are human hair wigs better than synthetic?

Many who donate hair for the purpose of creating wigs have never used harsh shampoos, heat or dyes on their hair. This allows the completed wig to have a remarkable texture. Of course, a human hair wig feels like real hair, yet it is the texture of top-of-the-line, tediously maintained hair.

What wig colour shall I choose?

Colour is often personal preference and we have lots of options whether you are looking for a blonde wig, brown wig, red wig or more. If this is your first wig you may want to stay close to your natural shade but don’t be afraid to experiment as you get more confident with wearing a wig.

What wig construction shall I choose?

The construction you choose will dictate how natural your wig looks, how comfortable the wig feels and how durable and affordable a wig is. Each has its own advantages and we have included the common variations with explanations here. Remember you may have a mix of these constructions, for example, you may get a lace front wig that has a monofilament top and is also hand tied.
