Making the Right Choice Women's Wigs If you're choosing a wig suitable for women, you should be sure to select an appearance that complements the shape of your face. Most wigs designed for women have a face-like shape, but some are not as flattering. Making use of a tape measure in order to measure the length of your hair can be a great idea. A wig that has a rounded part will make your face appear bigger than it really is. Also, a short hairstyle that is cropped will make your ears appear smaller.
