How To Choose The Perfect Wig Length

What is wig length?

The length of a wig contributes to providing the look you want. Knowing what is wig length helps you get a perfect one in the end.

There is a popular mistake in wig measurement: the length of a wig is to measure hair from the roots to the ends. When you buy a wig based on that, you will probably find the wig is shorter than the standard length.

The truth is wig length only shows its original hair length but not the true length or the visual length. Different wig textures of the same length may provide a different appearance when it comes to their length. What this essentially means is that wigs of the same length but different textures may appear to give a different look.

What influence the effects of wig length?

The crucial one: hair texture

As the word mentioned before, different hair textures affect how long your hair looks.

If you prefer a straight hairstyle, you do not need to worry about that. Because a straight wig shows the original hair length you picked. The strands of hair do not have any curls so that reduces the hair length.

Wavy hair texture and curly hair texture both carry the different hair lengths of wigs’ original length. Generally speaking, wavy hair looks less short than curly hair for the same hair length. Because curly hair has deeper curls than slightly wavy hair.

So, curly human hair wigs always appear one to two inches shorter than the standard length. And wavy hair only shows one inch shorter than its actual length.

Your own height

Your height is a reference substance of wig length, which have an important impact on the effect of wig length.

If you are a tall and thin woman, a 30 inches long wig may seem proper for you. And if you have a short figure, a high-quality human hair wig with 30 inches of length looks too long.

How to measure your wig length?

Please prepare a soft measuring tape before following these steps.

1. For convenience, lay your wig flat on the table or put it on a wig head.

2. Find the longest hair strand on the unit, then, measure it from the root to the end with a soft measuring tape.

3. Read the scale mark and note down the number.

How to choose the perfect hair length?

1. Figure out your desire

There is no specific rule that can be followed for every woman and it largely depends on your personal preference. Go to find the needed wig length if you already have a clear hairstyle goal. You can ask hairstylists in salons or Beautyforever online customer service staff for help. They will give you useful advice about what wig length is the best for you.

2. Choose hair length according to your height

The same wig length can give a different look to women having different heights.

It is better for a short figure to choose wigs just end above your shoulder to balance the whole look. A wig that ends below the shoulder is great, but too long over your shoulder will look long.

If you are tall or medium, your hair appears nice when it hangs down your shoulder or along your chest.

3. Flatter your face shape

Not only fashionable hairstyle but proper wig length could elevate your face features

Long curls and hair waves play a great role in balancing face shapes, they are suitable for every type of face shape. Long hairs improve women's feminine features and appear kind and friendly.

Short smooth hair is made to modify sharp bones. For example, short cut bob hairstyles are better for girls who have a square face shape, which will make them fresh and energetic.

Choosing right the hair length is very important. If you do not get a wig of the right length, your expensive wig may fail to deliver the mesmerizing feel you want. But there are no strict rules about which wig length is right for you, you could decide according to these suggestions. Be bold and try plenty of pretty hairstyles, you will certainly find the best one in the end.
