Short Length Wigs – What to consider

Short hair can be intimidating for some individuals, and you may be wondering whether the style will suit you. In most cases, a short wig will flatter most face shapes - but there are some key points to consider when deciding which short style will suit you best.

Round Faces

If you have a round face, it is best to avoid super short, top-heavy styles, as these can accentuate the roundness. The key here is finding a wig that balances the face shape to create an appealing aesthetic. Opt for shoulder-length wig styles to elongate the face and add layers or side fringes to further create balance.

Long Faces

Short wigs can help make longer faces look shorter, and so tend to be an extremely flattering choice. Pixie styles and wigs with fringes can complement long face shapes particularly well, and often help to accentuate the features. This can be the secret to those chiselled cheekbones people crave!

Oval Faces

Lucky enough to have an oval face? Then the world is pretty much your oyster! Known as the perfect face shape due to its versatile nature, an oval face allows you to pull off pretty much any style, cut and shape wig - including a shorter style. The best advice is to try on a variety of styles that you like to find the one that suits your personality and taste.

Heart Shaped Faces 

Short wigs are a beautiful choice for a heart shaped face, and most styles will be flattering and attractive. Just be wary of centre partings - these can create more volume at the crown, and so you may prefer to opt for an off-centre or side part to help achieve symmetry and balance.

The Best Construction Type for Short Wigs

Another key consideration is the way in which your wig is constructed. Popular short wig construction types include monofilament tops and hand-tied caps, and, of these, monofilament tops tend to offer the most natural look. This is because the wig itself can be knotted more finely, offering a more realistic overall appearance, with no need to disguise the base.
