Selecting Women's Wigs When choosing a wig for women, you should be careful to choose the style that is compatible with your facial shape. Many wigs for women have a face-like shape but others aren't as appealing. Making use of a tape measure in order to determine the length one's hair would be good idea. A wig with a round portion will make your face appear wider than it really is. Also, a short, cropped bob will make your ears appear smaller.
