Making the Right Choice Women's Wigs If you are choosing a wig for women, you should be sure to select an appearance that complements your facial shape. Some wigs are designed to look like facial hair but others aren't so flattering. Utilizing a tape measure to gauge the length of your hair can be a great idea. A wig with a rounded part will give your appearance larger than it really is. Also, a shorter or cropped bob can make your ears appear smaller.
