Look for wigs in hair salons or wig stores.
Choose a wig based on your head size. Most wigs are considered average but there are average to large wigs available.
If you are buying a wig for casual use, then buy a simple color and style.
If you are buying a wig for a role, research what your role’s hair would look like
You can go for a different color and style, if you know your color time. Most people are either warm or cool in their color tones. Ask a beautician or cosmetologist to help you decide the best color for you.

Purchase a wig that you can secure to your head. If you will be dancing, playing a sport, or moving around a lot, make sure you can secure the wig to your head so it doesn’t fall off.
Select a wig based on your daily hairstyles. If you are straightening or curling your hair a lot, buy two wigs so one can be straight and one can be curly.
9Make sure it looks like real hair, feels like real hair, and fits you head. If it doesn’t, you will look like Barbie! As with all things you get what you pay for. Purchase a wig with a “see through” cap and open weaving for the most natural look. Some wigs have lace fronts leading to a more natural look.
Don’t say you are wearing a wig. Just be quiet about it.
Make sure to attach your wig securely. We don’t want it to fly off!!
Imagine how you will look in a wig and choose your color and texture so you will know exactly what you want.
If you can, try on the wig before buying it. This will save you a lot of time.
Tips
