FAQs
Choosing the right hairstyle, let alone a wig, for those over 50 can be a challenge. While you want something youthful and fun, you still appreciate the need for an age-appropriate style. Finding the right wig can be tough, especially if you are trying to mimic your natural hairstyle due to hair loss or thinning hair.
Before choosing the best wig for you, be sure to read through some frequently asked questions surrounding wigs for women over 50. Many questions related to the style and construction of the wig can help you purchase a comfortable and high-quality wig that will last for years.
Can I wear a long hair wig if I am over 50?
The world has long been concerned with finding age-appropriate styles and clothing, and the same can be said for hairstyles. It seems like an unwritten rule that once a woman passes the age of 50 she has to default to a short hairstyle. We believe this doesn’t have to be the case, and believe long hair is wonderfully suited for women over the age of 50.
Adding a short hairstyle to the wrong face shape can age a person even more. Adding a long hair wig to your style rotation if you are over the age of 50 is perfectly acceptable, and having long hair can take 10-15 years off your age.
Before selecting a long hair wig, be sure to consider your face shape. The type of face you have will help to dictate the hairstyle you should be searching for. If you have a long or oval face shape, long hair will tend to pull the eye downward, making the face appear even longer.
What are the best wigs for thinning hair?
If you have thinning hair and want to augment your hair with a wig it is best to search for capless wig or monofilament wig designs. The capless wig features the least amount of contact between the scalp and the wig. This style of the cap can help to keep airflow moving and your scalp cool.
Monofilament designs are intended to make the hair look natural. These designs typically feature a thin layer of monofilament fabric that allows some of the natural scalp to show through. By allowing some of the natural scalp, and some of your natural hair, peak through the wig you can give the impression of naturally thick and beautiful hair.
In the case of thinning hair, it is best to try to find a wig that matches your natural hair color. Many wigs come in a variety of shades that will come very close to your natural shade. Further, natural human hair wigs can mimic the texture of your hair, and can even be dyed to match your hair perfectly.
What kind of wig looks most natural?
There are many features to consider when purchasing a wig, and even more features to think about if you are trying to find a wig that looks the most natural. First, start with the type of hair that you want for the wig. The most natural option is Remy human hair. This type of hair is the highest quality of hair available for a wig.
The human hair contains the individual cuticles and is placed in the wig going the same direction. This construction process not only makes it look natural, but it helps it to lay consistently and naturally against the scalp. If Remy human hair is not available, the next best option is to find a wig made of regular human hair.
Synthetic hair is the second option for your wig. In the past 20 years, synthetic hair wigs have come a long way and many can mimic the texture and movement natural hair has. If you are trying to find a particularly natural-looking synthetic hairstyle, try to look for synthetic fibers that are heat resistant. Many heat resistant options can be heated to 350 degrees F. safely. The heat resistant synthetic will allow you to style and curl your hair just as you would natural hair.
The next feature to consider when trying to purchase a natural-looking wig is the way the wig is constructed. Try to find a wig that has a monofilament, or even a double monofilament, design. This design choice impacts the thin layer of material that presses against your scalp. It allows some of your natural scalp to show through, making the wig appear natural. Plus, monofilament designs will allow you to part the hair in different ways, just as you would natural hair.
Lastly, try to find wigs that have a 100% hand-tied cap. This design means that each hair on the wig was tied by hand. Not only does the randomization of the knots make the wig appear more natural, but hand-tied caps can help layer the hair and allow it to lay naturally against the head. Hand-tied caps are often coupled together with synthetic, human hair, and monofilament styles making your options endless for a natural-looking wig.
What wig hairstyles are best for women over 50?
When it comes time to choose a style you want to make sure that it is age-appropriate. Start with the number one rule of simply being yourself. If you normally keep your hair a little longer, go with a long hair wig. If you usually have some curl to your hair, look for a curly wig. Do not allow social mandates and norms to dictate the type of wig or hairstyle you “should” have just because you reach a certain age.
With that being said, there are some key hairstyle elements to look for when shopping for a wig suitable for women over 50. Try to purchase wigs with a lace front because these have the most natural-looking hairline. This will allow the wig to seamlessly blend into your scalp, completing your look.
Next, try to avoid having too much volume at the crown of the head. Many women make the mistake of thinking a lot of hair piled onto the crown makes the wig appear thicker when it just makes the wig look artificial. If you want thicker and fuller hair, be sure to find a wig with uniform fullness throughout the wig.
Lastly, focus on the color. Just because you are over 50 does not mean that you have to buy a gray wig. If you still have natural color to your hair, by all means, match it! Women over the age of 50 regularly have blonde, brown, or red hair so it is perfectly alright to buy a wig in these shades. Matching your hair will make the wig appear more natural.
Can you wear a wig every day?
Yes, indeed! It is possible to wear a wig every day, and many women choose to do so. Wearing a wig is a common practice for many women who suffer hair loss as a result of an illness or chemotherapy treatment.
As women, we often use our hair as a security blanket, claiming it as our crowning glory. Luckily, a wig will be able to help women regain their sense of self. Wearing a wig every day can help give women the confidence to allow their beauty to shine through.
If you are wearing a wig every day, you will want to search for wigs that have a high level of comfort. Many women with hair loss prefer what is called an open cap, or capless, design. This style offers the most amount of airflow to the scalp, preventing overheating and improving overall circulation.
If you are wearing a wig for many hours during the day, consider a lace front style. This is the part of the wig that is situated at the front and will rest against your head. A lace front wig is more comfortable to wear compared to alternatives.
Are expensive wigs worth it?
That depends on what is important to you when shopping for a wig. Typically, the more expensive wigs tend to look more natural. This means that human hair is used, the knots are hand-tied, and the finest materials are used for the cap.
Expensive wigs will often have a monofilament construction or use a French Drawn design that is used to mask the appearance of unsightly seams. Of course, having higher-quality materials, and more labor hours involved in the creation of your wig means that you will have a higher price point.
However, having a realistic and natural-looking wig often comes with a downside too. Natural human hair requires much more maintenance and care to keep the wig looking great for years. If you are not interested in a time-consuming wig that requires a load of maintenance, then maybe an expensive wig is not worth the price for your needs. If this is the case, you may be able to purchase an easy to care for synthetic hair wig that requires little maintenance.
