How to Choose the Perfect Wig for Your Face Shape (Simple Guide)

Most people pick wigs like they’re buying groceries — quickly and randomly. Wrong approach. The shape of your face determines which wig makes you look flawless.

Here’s the simplest face-shape wig guide you’ll ever read.

1. Round Face

Goal: Add length.
Best wigs:

• Long straight wigs
• Layered wigs
• Side-part wigs
  Avoid: Blunt bobs that make your face look even rounder.

2. Oval Face

This is the golden shape. Almost everything works.
Best wigs:

• Body wave
• Bob cuts
• Curly wigs
  Avoid: Very long, very flat styles — they drag the face down.

3. Square Face

Goal: Soften the jawline.
Best wigs:

• Loose curls
• Deep wave wigs
• Shoulder-length layers
  Avoid: Sharp, straight bobs.

4. Heart-Shaped Face

Goal: Add width at the jaw.
Best wigs:

• Chin-length bobs
• Body curls
• Side fringes
  Avoid: Too much volume at the top.

5. Long Face / Oblong

Goal: Add width, reduce the “long” look.
Best wigs:

• Curls
• Waves
• Mid-length volume styles
  Avoid: Super long straight hair.

Final Tip

Try wigs with adjustable straps — they pull the wig into the perfect fit, which improves the shape instantly.
