Short Hair Wigs: 7 Reasons to Go Short

ON

Short hair wigs are timeless. Whether you’re looking to go for a vintage Audrey Hepburn hair style, or a youthful modern pixie cut look, the choice is yours. Short wigs create a sense of character which you can have fun with. If you’re used to longer hair and looking for something different, or perhaps looking for a wig style that’s easy to wear and maintain, a short hair wig is for you.

Here we’ve listed our top 7 reasons we think you should go for a short hair style this year.

1. Why Not Try Something New?

First and foremost, many wig wearers who transition to shorter hair styles are looking for something new to stand out amongst the crowd. Why not give it a go? Experiment with different haircuts and colours, you may shock yourself and discover a totally new short look you fall in love with. From bob cuts, to side swept pixie cuts, to ombre spikes and fuller waves, the choices are endless. Be bold and give a short wig style a try this year.

2. Short Hair Wigs are Low Maintenance

Short hair wigs effortlessly deliver striking looks that require low maintenance. No need to spend hours trying to style your wig each day; short hair wigs can be styled in any way you desire in a matter of minutes. Simply style in practically any direction, with the right styling products for your wig, and off you go, hassle free. They also take far less time to clean and dry a lot faster.

3. Short Wigs are Lightweight & Comfortable to Wear

Just like regular hair, short wigs are extremely lightweight, airy and comfortable to wear especially when matched with the right wig cap construction for you. If you’re wearing a wig for cancer or suffering from alopecia you’ll be looking for maximum comfort. In which case, 100% hand-tied caps are best as they feel most comfortable and can appear to be the most natural looking. Each individual strand is sewn into the wig cap, hand crafted to perfection using the softest materials available.

4. Short Human Hair & Synthetic Wig Options

Whether you’re looking for synthetic or human hair styles, short hair wigs are available in both. Human hair wig styles promote extreme comfort, naturalness and versatility whereas synthetic wigs are perfect for lower budgets, are extremely natural looking and made using leading wig technology.

Short Synthetic Wigs

Short synthetic wigs are equally as popular and boast a range of benefits including high quality breathable materials, remarkably natural looking hair fibres and can be easily maintained. They’re also often lower in price which makes them ideal for those looking to experiment with short hair styles initially without spending too much.

When you think short, what comes to mind? If you immediately picture the shortest pixie cut wig available, think again. Short hair wigs come in a range of styles, some longer some shorter depending on what you’re looking for. Short hair doesn’t always mean the most extreme hair change.

There are plenty of gorgeous short hair styles to choose from available in a range of materials, colours and cuts.
