Whether purchasing your very first hairpiece or replacing an old wig<\/a> that\u2019s past its prime, your choice of wig matters. Male pattern hair loss affects around 50% of men over the age of 50<\/a>, and with many more causes, a vast proportion of the male population may be experiencing hair loss and thinning during any point of their lives. With the right wig however, you can face and overcome hair loss challenges with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help you find the wig that\u2019s right for your needs, hair loss and budget, we\u2019re here to share our top tips for buying your very first wig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Define your needs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is a greater choice of wigs than ever out there, which, while a step in the right direction, can make selecting just one rather tricky. Understanding and defining your needs first however is a great place to begin when choosing a wig that ticks all the right boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The level of coverage required is the key to wig selection success. Your needs will determine whether a wig or hairpiece is a better fit for you, but what\u2019s the difference? We\u2019ll let BeautyAnswered.com<\/a> explain more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn almost all cases a wig covers the entire scalp while a hair piece does not. A hair piece can cover part of the scalp or may be added in with the existing hair to make the hair look fuller or longer, or to create highlights within the hair. Just as wigs come in dozens of varieties and styles, so do hair pieces. While most wigs cover the entire scalp, there is quite a bit of variation in the way that hair pieces can be worn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose your style<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now for the fun bit, choosing your hairstyle – and you really can be as creative as you like! If you want to be discreet about wig wear however, opting for a style you are familiar with, or one that resembles the cut of your natural hair is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever your desire, you\u2019ll want to pick a wig that complements your facial features and personal style. Men with diamond face shapes \u2013 where the cheekbones are the widest part \u2013 look great with short but textured styles, while the classic crew cut or shaved sides are perfect for oval faces. Round face shapes are ideal for slicked back styles with length or even voluminous curls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select your shade<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The colour of your wig is just as important as the cut. Whether going for a mid-length style or short crop, the shade you choose will ensure a beautiful, natural look. For men choosing hairpieces, the colour of your chosen style is even more crucial and should blend effortlessly with your surrounding natural locks. The colour of your wig or hairpiece can also help you rock the latest trends, just check out the top colours for autumn\/winter 2023 right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get the colour just right before you purchase your wig or hairpiece, take advantage of our free online colour charts. You can also explore our colour ring hire<\/a> and colour matching services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find your fit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to order your wig but first you\u2019ll have to take a few measurements to ensure your wig fits like a glove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stock wigs from ultra-petite to large, and suggest that you measure your size by going around the head behind the ears from the nape of the neck to the front hairline. All our wigs are size adjustable to ensure the perfect and most comfortable fit for every wearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
