Selecting Women's Wigs When selecting a wig that is suitable for women, you should be sure to select the style that is compatible with the shape of your face. A lot of wigs for women have facial shapes but others aren't as appealing. A tape measure used to measure the length of your hair is a great idea. A wig with a rounded part will give your appearance bigger than it actually is. Also, a shorter hairstyle that is cropped will make your ears look smaller.
