Making the Right Choice Women's Wigs When selecting a wig that is suitable for women, you should ensure that you select an appearance that complements the shape of your face. Many wigs for women have a face-like shape, but some are not as flattering. Making use of a tape measure in order to gauge the length of one's hair would be good idea. A wig that has a rounded part can create the appearance of your face to be wider than it actually is. A shorter hairstyle that is cropped will make your ears appear smaller.
