Selecting Women's Wigs If you're choosing a wig suitable for women, you should be sure to select one that fits your face shape. Most wigs designed for women are designed to look like facial hair However, there are some that are not so flattering. Using a tape measure to determine the length your hair is a good idea. A wig with a round part can make your face appear wider than it really is. Also, a short cut bob can make your ears appear smaller.
