Choosing the Perfect Wig

7/17/2017
Today let’s talk about choosing a great wig for a new or experienced crossdresser.

There are many things to think about when deciding on the perfect wig to complete your look.

We know that when browsing wigs, there are several colors, styles, lengths, and types. The experience of finding your new wig us usually an exciting one. However sometimes it can be just a little overwhelming.

In crossdressing, your hair is one of the biggest components of your overall look. So we want to give you some tips that will be sure to help you find your new hairpiece.

Color

When browsing for wigs you’ll notice that there are several color options available. A lot of wigs are even “multi-colored” such as ombre or highlighted wigs.

When just starting out, consider choosing a color as close to your hair’s natural color as possible. This will help you look and feel more natural and comfortable when you’re transitioning into the fun and exciting world of crossdressing.

If you’re in the mood for something a little more glamorous, you can opt for more of a nontraditional colored wig such as blue, bright red, and many others! Remember, you can choose a style that fits your personality and the occasion. Going out for a night on the town with the girls? Opt for something a little more over the top like a blue ombre!

Size

Sometimes wig sizing can be an issue in the crossdresser community. After all, not everyone’s head is the same shape and size.

At Janet’s closet we have you covered. We offer traditional sized wigs as well as an entire line of XL sized wigs for our crossdressers with a bit of a larger skull. To look and feel as comfortable and natural as possible, always wear a wig that fits correctly and that easily stays on your head.

If you’re near the southeast Michigan area, you can come on in to our retail location and try on some wigs for yourself and see what fits best on you! Our friendly staff is always happy to help.

Quality

With so many style, color, and pricing options, you may not know how much you should spend on your new wig.

If you’re just getting into crossdressing, I would recommend that you consider purchasing wigs that may be on the less-pricey side. This will allow you to purchase a couple different style wigs so you can get a great feel for what looks and feels best on you!

Also, it’s possible that your fashion taste will shift over time. What you absolutely love today, may seem less exciting in a year from now. Purchasing a couple less-expensive wigs will give you great opportunity to try them out in different settings and with different looks to see what style looks best for any occasion!

Besides, it’s fun purchasing and trying on different style wigs. 🙂

After you have decided on your favorite type of wig that you feel most comfortable in, then you can always invest in a higher quality wig down the road. After you settle on 1 or 2 permanent wigs, you can even go to a stylist that has experience in wig styling, and get your piece styled just the way you like it! The possibilities are almost endless!

Conclusion

When selecting a new hairpiece, the 3 main factors to first consider are usually going to be the color, size, and quality.

With the above tips in mind, you are now ready to shop for your new wig! Wig shopping is one of the most exciting aspects of being a crossdresser! With so many options out there, you can complete your style however you like. It can be based on your mood, your look, the occasion, or anything else!

Want to attract attention on a night out at the club? Opt for a flashy, neon colored wig that will be sure to turn heads!
