15 of the Best Wigs for Beginners

Identify your own hair type

Is it kinky, curly, wavy or straight? Choosing a wig that matches your natural hair type is the easiest way to ensure that your first wig suits you. The best wigs for beginners are ultimately the ones you feel confident in.

Pay attention to colour

Colour is very important to pay attention to when choosing a wig for beginners. Look at your skin tone to determine whether your wig should be warm or cool-toned, and sticking to a shade close to your natural hair colour will help it feel more natural. Our guide on how to match a wig to your skin tone lists how to find a perfect wig that will suit your colouring!

Consider length

Similarly, length is an important factor to consider. For example, if you live in a hot climate, you might prefer to wear a shorter wig to keep your hair off your neck. Alternatively, if you're used to chest-long hair, then rock the longer styles!

Measure properly

Most importantly, choosing a wig that fits you properly is vital for a natural-looking style. Check the measurements properly, and get someone else to measure your head to double-check your size. For information on sizes and other tips and tricks, read our beginner's guide to wearing a wig.

1. Fringe it over

For the easiest of applications, styles with fringes are by far the best wigs for beginners as you don’t have to stress about an unnatural hairline or styling baby hairs. Our Tori Wig is one of our most elegant wigs, available in a beautiful range of colours. A fringe covers up any mistakes, hides the front of the wig effectively, and looks very chic.

2. Short and sweet

Our Lizzy Wig offers a short and creative style, perfect for those with already short natural hair or those wanting to keep hair off their necks in hotter climates. Lizzy is one of our best wigs for beginners due to its closed flower net top and crown, which encourages volume, meaning your wig always looks perfect! The layers are razor cut, and the fringe will frame your eyes wonderfully.

3. Nice and easy

Our West Lace Wig uses Remy human hair, making it the best wig for beginners due to its natural look and perfect density. In addition, the hand-tied cap construction is designed for ultimate comfort. This wig also comes with a strategically placed poly patch by the temples where you can attach wig tape, plus there are suction strips at the base for added security for those who suffer from hair loss.

4. Balayage

Have you heard about balayage before? It's a French technique that means ‘to sweep'. Highlights are hand painted for natural depth and dimension, giving you a grown-out, sun-kissed effect. The Balayage Remy is double monofilament, meaning it will protect your scalp from the hand-knotting. The long layered fringe can be professionally cut if you prefer a bolder style.

5. Surfer style

For the ultimate surfer, laid-back style, our very popular Evanna Wig offers a fuss-free wig for beginners that looks like you've just spent the day at the beach. The top and crown are predominantly wefted to control volume and reduce dropping and has a monofilament strip to create a natural part. The curls are open and relaxed throughout this hairstyle for untamed hair that doesn't look ‘too' perfect.

6. Heat friendly

The Drew Wig is a great wig for beginners as it gives you the option to heat style it yourself. Big curly blowout? No problem! Sleek and straight? Go for it! Due to its Heat Defiant technology, this heat resistant wig lets you have more control over your appearance. Additionally, it's monofilament, so you can part the hair wherever you please.

7. Curly girl

For our girls with naturally curly hair, a kinky style is a no-brainer. As a wig for beginners with a penchant for curls, our Jamila Lace Front Plus Wig offers a naturally coily style without the hassle of styling your own fickle curls! We know that curly hair can be a nuisance (hello, 2 hour wash day!). The Jamila wig offers all of the curly fun without the stress.

8. Dare to go dark

It can be difficult for ladies with black hair to find wigs that don't skew too ‘blue'. Our Sue Mono in the shade Espresso Mix has a base of deep cocoa brown to emulate a natural black shade with lots of depth. This incredibly realistic looking wig features a delicately thinned out fringe, so it's not too heavy on your face. Additionally, this wig is cut to have a slightly rounded back for that blow-out look!

9. Silver star

Do you struggle to find wigs that are small enough for your head? As mentioned previously, the trick to findings wigs for beginners that look natural is getting the fit just right. Our Generation Gap Mono Wig is incredibly lightweight and comes in a Petite size. Perfect for our silver ladies, The nape measures 7cm, so it is perfect for those who want to wear this wig over the top of their own hair.

10. Redheads

As a natural redhead, you may struggle to find a wig that's the correct colour and tone for your skin tone. Sometimes red wigs can push too harsh or bold, resulting in a style that is over-powering. Our Apple Wig comes in four red shades varying from light strawberry to chocolate cherry. The pre-cut flicky layers add depth and lend themselves excellently to styling.

11. Platinum

Always fancied being a super blondie but never had the chance? For the creatives or daring amongst us wanting the best wig for beginners, the Dakota Wig lets you play out your platinum fantasy without the bleach damage! The sheer, hand-tied monofilament parting creates the impression that the hair at the parting is coming from your own scalp.

12. Sleek without styling

Our Stevie Wig is one of our best wigs for beginners due to its sleek appearance and fine, pre-cut, face-framing baby hairs. This glamourous style is one of our bestsellers and is double monofilament, meaning that the wig is designed to give the impression that the hair is coming from your own scalp.

13. Non-committal

Fancy the ease of a fringe without committing to a full-frontal? Our Kenzie Wig gives you all of the benefits of a fringe without the commitment. Cut with flowing front hair pieces, the fringe is fluffy, soft and is worn swept to the side for easy styling. This wig is one of the best wigs for beginners due to its movement and fantastic swish!

14. Blonde bombshell

Are you a natural blondie? Our Spotlight Wig is stunning, crafted with a root smudge to give the appearance of natural, grown out highlights.
