Best Wigs for Beginners
Your guide to learning to love wigs
Are you beginning your wig wearing journey and don't know where to start? The wig world can seem a little intimidating if you're just getting started, with so many variations, fiber types, cap types, and new vocabulary. But once you know what you're doing, the wig community can be one of the most fulfilling and welcoming spaces you can be a part of.
So, what wigs should you try if you're brand new to fake hair? Let's talk about it.
1. Try a synthetic wig for ease
If you're new to wearing wigs, synthetic options are a great choice. They come pre-styled, making it easy for you to put one on and head out the door, and they offer a wide variety of colors and styles. Low maintenance and ready to wear, synthetic wigs are an easy and simple option for all wig wears, from first timers to experienced wig wearers.
Verona
Verona’s dynamic waves and long, gorgeous layers create a look that is simply breathtaking. This stunning style features a monofilament top and lace front creating an extraordinarily natural and versatile look.
Diana
Diana is a ready to go look complete with short layers and wispy loose curls. Her thoughtfully placed layers give Diana soft body and texture for easy styling options.
Finn
Finn is a flirty mid-length style with just the right amount of attitude. Her free flowing, layered waves create natural body and movement. Razored, blunt ends round out this dynamic style for a fun look you can enjoy all year round.
2. Start with a style that’s similar to your natural hair
Going without your natural hair for the first time can feel daunting, so starting with a wig that’s similar to your usual style can make the transition easier. Once you feel comfortable, you can experiment with new lengths, textures, and colors. Explore the pages linked below to see our selection of bobs, long styles, and curly wigs to find the perfect fit for you.

3. Choose a shorter style for easy, low-maintenance wear
Caring for a wig can take some getting used to, especially if you’re navigating a medical journey and don’t have the time or energy for a longer style. Starting with a shorter wig can make things feel simpler and more manageable, so you can focus less on upkeep and more on feeling confident and loving your new look.

Maxx
Maxx is a sleek bob showcasing a shaped back and meticulously angled layers. This style epitomizes modern sophistication, exhibiting a polished and contemporary aesthetic.
4. Try a monofilament top wig or heat-resistant style
Many first time wig wearers struggle with the feeling of being stuck with whatever style they choose, but it doesn’t have to be that way. If you want more styling flexibility with your wig, try a monofilament or heat resistant style. Monofilament wigs let you part your hair any way you want, while heat-resistant styles allow you to curl, straighten, or style with your favorite heat tools!
Fallon
Chic, versatile and incredibly stylish, Fallon is an effortless medium length style. Long layers that hit below the cheek can be kept sleek and smooth or worn messy to show off some texture. Polished and graceful or playfully tousled, Fallon seamlessly combines sophistication and flair.
Petite Easton
Petite Easton is a dynamic asymmetric pixie style with a full monofilament top and lace front, making it the perfect canvas for creative styling. Transform your look from elegant and sophisticated to edgy and chic.
Jagger
This is Jagger. Sleek lines, sculpted shape and a simply magnetic finish. Jagger is all about modern polish with the freedom of heat defiant fibers. You’ll put in minimal effort and experience maximum results every time.
Sevyn
Sevyn is a long, romantic style with loose luscious curls. Her thoughtful layers fall just right, giving these irresistible waves relaxed movement and soft volume for a look that is just dreamy. Our Heat Defiant wigs can withstand heated styling tools up to 320°F (160°C).
5. Consider trying a wig with bangs
While lace front wigs offer great styling versatility, first-time wig wearers may not be ready to make that investment. For a stylish, fuss-free alternative, try a wig with bangs. Just slip it on and you’re out the door! Here are some of our favorite styles with bangs.
Evette
Evette is fun, flirty, and full of charisma! Complete with versatile bangs and stunning layers this style offers the right amount of volume without being overwhelming.
Ellen

Jessica
Full of just the right amount of volume, Jessica offers an abundance of gorgeous spiral curls. Mix in pretty bangs that you can wear forward or push to the side, and you've got a look that's ready to wear right out of the box.
