* Extra Tips When Choosing a Wig
Hairline & Parting
Lace fronts create the most natural hairline for any shape.
If unsure, start with a slightly off-center part — it's universally flattering.
Density
Lower density for petite faces
Higher density for fuller faces
Medium density is the safest choice for most people
Texture
Curls soften angular features.
Straight hair elongates.
Waves are the most universally flattering
