First Step: How to Determine Which Wig is Right for Your Face Shape:

Wigs and hairpieces should compliment the shape of your face. If your not sure about which wig style will be most flattering on you, use the following suggestions as a guide to find a wig that works with your face shape. At Wigs for Fun, we examine seven different face shapes: diamond, heart, oblong, oval, pear, round, and square. From here, we work to determine which wig styles are most appropriate each individual face shape. This is the first step in finding the perfect wig to match your needs.

Here's how to find the hair styles that work best for you. Styles should accentuate your best facial features
while minimizing your less-than-best features.

To find your face shape:

1. Pull hair back and secure so hair is totally off the face.

2. Stand 12" from a mirror and look straight into it. -- Or, use a picture of yours

3. Outline your face with a marker on the mirror, with drawing paper or on the photo itself.

4. Now look at your face shape in the mirror or the photo drawing. At first there may appear to be more than one shape. Though your face may not be an exact duplicate of any single shape, it will more closely resemble one shape over all other shapes shown. Pick the shape most closely resembling your own.

In the next few posts, we will breakdown each of the seven face shapes, including every single bit of information you need to know!
