Get Your Hair Right And You're 80% There !!
One of the most important things about how
to be convincing is to get the hair right. This can go a long way towards
compensating for a masculine face; many transsexuals can fall down when they
have a bad hair day.
Obviously the easiest way to solve this
problem is to choose the right wig. Here I have written some useful guidelines
on the subject.
How To Choose A Wig
One of the ways we recommend first-time wig
shoppers choose a wig is to make a selection that best complements their facial
shape. While some facial shapes look good with any wig, most must be carefully
matched to a wig. By following the simple guidelines below, you'll be able to
find the wig that brings out the true beauty in your face.
Please remember, these are merely general
guidelines. They may or may not work for you, depending on your features,
colouring and personal style. As you become more comfortable with what works
with your face, body and style, you'll be able to make even better choices in
wig and hair styles. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact
us.
Oval Face:
An oval shaped face is considered one of
the most versatile, because almost all wigs will look flattering. Any style, be
it long, short, curly, or straight will look natural and pretty.
Suggested Styles: All Styles.
Round Face:
Neat bobs are not recommended for those who
have a round shaped face - it will only make your face look fuller. The goal is
to slim your face. Some of the styles that you should look for are wigs that
will frame your face and have height at the crown.
Suggested Styles: Basic, Shag, Gamin or
Mid-Length.
Square Face:
If your face is square shaped,
blunt-clipped bangs should be avoided, because it will make your face look even
more angular. If you want to wear bangs, try the wigs that have wispy or
fringed bangs. If you don't want to have bangs, a side part will suit you best,
instead of a centre part. The key is to soften the edges of your face - this
can be done best by wearing a style close to your face, i.e. soft layers in the
front.
Suggested Styles: Curly, Fluff Back, Shag
or Mid-Length.
Heart-Shaped Face:
Your shape is an upside down triangle, meaning
there is very little of your face at the jaw line and more at the brow line.
You want to look for a wig that doesn't have height at the crown and the sides
(area around your ears), but has fullness at the bottom. Chin length with bangs
swept to the side will look perfect.
Suggested Styles: Fluff-Back, Shag,
Mid-Length or Page.
Oblong Face:
Your shape is long and thin, with a narrow
chin. Avoid wigs that are long and hanging, or those that have a layered cut. It
will only make your face seem lengthier. The aim is to add width to your face.
Curly or wavy wigs will do just that. Hair length that reaches to the middle of
your neck will look best on you.
