Choosing the right wig can be the difference between looking naturally gorgeous and feeling like you're wearing a costume. The secret? Matching your wig style to your face shape. Here's how.
First — Determine Your Face Shape Stand in front of a mirror and trace the outline of your face. The main face shapes are:
- Oval — Balanced, slightly wider at the cheekbones
- Round — Full cheeks, similar width and length
- Square — Strong jawline, similar width throughout
- Heart — Wider forehead, narrow chin
- Oblong/Long — Longer than it is wide
Oval Face Shape Lucky you — almost any wig style suits an oval face! From sleek straight styles to voluminous curls, you can pull off any look. Browse our full wig collection at Velouré Luxe.
Round Face Shape Add length and definition with wigs that have volume at the crown and are sleek at the sides. Long straight wigs, layered styles, and side-swept bangs work beautifully. Avoid full, round styles that add width.
Square Face Shape Soften your strong jawline with wavy or curly wigs that add softness around the face. Side parts and wispy layers work well. Avoid blunt bobs that end at the jaw.
Heart Face Shape Balance a wider forehead with wigs that have volume at the chin and are sleeker at the top. Chin-length bobs, loose waves, and side-swept styles are perfect. Avoid styles with lots of volume at the crown.
Oblong/Long Face Shape Add width with wavy or curly styles and avoid extra length that elongates your face further. Bobs, shoulder-length styles, and full curls work beautifully.
