Choose Wigs
By Face Shape
So You’ve decided to buy a wig but are not sure what suits? Why not use our wigs by face shape guide as a rough outline as to what might suit you best… As always here at Peruke our fundamental rule applies… It’s ultimately your choice. Feel free to use the guide to help you choose your wig, or dismiss it and wear the wig that you like – after all you’re the one wearing it and so as long as you feel comfortable, that’s what counts most. So let’s get to it.
Although the image has a number of face shapes find the central shape that's closest to your own and read on. The central shapes are: Oval: Greater length than width Rectangle/Oblong: Length is 1½ times the width Round: Approximately as wide as it is long Square: Equally wide at the forehead, cheeks and jaw Heart-shaped: Wide at the forehead and cheeks and more narrow at the jaw. Often has a pointed chin. If you really want to find out the shape of your face you can always perform a search online. Charley isn’t a fan of this as she doesn’t believe in being ruled by numbers of any kind a number can’t tell you what you look like.
Wigs By Face Shape, Oval Oval faces are universal in what suits them, you lucky oval facers can wear your hair, short, mid length and long – hurrah! Straight, wavy or curly, it’s all open to you. Anything Else? Nope.
Wigs By Face Shape, Rectangle/Oblong A great look for you rectangle facers is short to medium lengths – long hair can make the face look longer. You can have layers that add fullness to the sides of your face and fringes also make the face shorter, as with round faces, off centre partings are great. Anything Else?Really long hair (past your collar bone) has a tendency to make the face look longer as does too much volume on top of the head. If you love your length, try adding texture with waves, curls and volume.
Wigs By Face Shape, Round If you want to detract from your roundness of face then fullness of height at the crown is a must. Also if you try partings that are off centre. To make your face longer, lengths below the chin are best, you can try layering the hair at the top and keeping the length of the hair close to your face. Anything Else?Chin length hair will accentuate the roundness of face and any style that is fuller at the ears makes the face look wider. If you’re struggling to grow your hair past this length, go for off centre partings and height.
Wigs By Face Shape, Square It’s hip to be square! Like round faces square faces suit off centre partings and height at the crown. Layers and waves also help round the face out.Anything Else? Long straight styles can emphasise the square jawbone, as can blunt cut fringes, so try feathering your fringe. If you’re struggling to grow your hair, use the off centre partings and layering the hair.
Wigs By Face Shape, Heart In keeping with oval faces many looks suit this face such as lengths below the chin. Go for layers, fringes (bangs) off centre and side partings.Anything Else? Hair that’s shorter than the chin can make the chin appear narrow, use side and off centre partings to counter this as well as any style that has side sweeping fringes (bangs).
Peruke’s Wigs By Face Shape Top Tips• Side swept fringes (bangs), off-centre parting and side partings, can diffuse prominent features.• Soft curls and waves can help minimize angles in the face. • Curls and volume can add width to a narrow part of the face. • Height at the crown of the head can add height to a shorter or round face.
