1. For long, beachy waves

For long locks and face-framing bangs, look no further than this wavy wig from Netgo. The 27-inch-long hair is made from Japanese Kanekalon fibers that claim to be soft to the touch and heat-resistant, meaning it can be styled with hot tools. The wig has an adjustable hook inside to fit the cap to your head to ensure a snug fit. From 23 shades, you can snag this wig in funky colors like pastel pink, bright blue or vibrant orange, or go for a natural tone with brown, blond or black.

One impressed reviewer writes: “All I had to do was feather the bangs a little bit because they were just a bit long and too blunt for me. But I love this wig so much! I was worried that this would look super fake but received so many compliments! And for the price, it was beyond my expectations! I might get the brown wig next!”

2. For shoulder-length, wavy strands

This wig is sure to give you the chicest “lob”—i.e., long bob. It’s available in 29 colors ranging from gray and blond to aqua blue and green, some of which have bangs. All of the wigs have a wavy texture made from Kanekalon fibers that claim to be soft, tangle- and shedding-free and heat-friendly. It’s made with a double machine weft, which means more hair for a thicker, fuller look. The cap contains adjustable straps inside to secure the wig to your head comfortably.

One reviewer raves: “This wig is so cute and so easy to wear. I’ve purchased a few wigs in the past and the hairline always looked off or the wig itself just never laid down well, but this one is amazing. Looks almost real and so easy to wear and put on.”

3. For natural curly locks

For a realistic wig, you might consider one made from human hair. This curly, dark style has a lace front that’s pre-plucked for a natural-looking hairline, complete with baby hairs. The cap is adjustable to fit your head securely but claims to be invisible while on the scalp. You can wash and use hot tools on the wig to restyle it and even move the part to the side or center to suit your style. Though only available in black, you can grab it in multiple lengths, from as short as 14 inches to as long as 26 inches. 

One reviewer writes: “I love this hair! It’s super soft, the curl pattern is beautiful, and it was definitely a deal as far as price goes! I will for sure be ordering from here again. The communication with the seller was amazing and the hair came quickly with a little gift as well! Overall, very satisfied!”

4. For a highlighted blond strands

Anyone who loves the look of shoulder-length blond locks will love the dimension this one offers with its subtle highlights throughout. The 12-inch-long golden hair is made from synthetic fiber that claims to be heat-resistant and high quality with no shedding or tangling. The listing also offers other wigs from Faelbaty, but they are different colors, lengths and styles. 

One reviewer writes: “I am very happy with this product! I bought this wig specifically for Taylor Swift-themed parties, and I got so many compliments! You can use the wig to portray so many characters. It is very soft, and it looks so real. I definitely got my money’s worth because I will be using this for parties and costumes in the future. It is also very light, and I am very happy with this wig! If you’re looking to go blond for a night, this is the perfect purchase for you!”

5. For a curly, short style

Rating: 4.0 stars

This voluminous, curly wig only comes in a black shade, but it’s available in seven lengths, from eight to 20 inches long to suit your preference. The wig is made from human hair that the brand says won’t tangle or shed, and it features a lace front that gives the hairline a more natural appearance. The brand claims that it’ll return to its curly texture post-wash, but you can use styling tools on it to change up your look.

One reviewer exclaims: “My mother always complains that wigs are too thick or too long or look funny... too much hair in her eyes... just not right. We didn’t even have to cut it and she loves it! We (my sister, mom, and myself) all do! It’s honestly the best purchase I’ve made as far as wigs go… And I’ve purchased over 100 wigs in my lifetime!”

6. For long locks and curtain bangs

 

Reviews: 5,098

Rating: 4.2 stars

In most cases, you get what you pay for when it comes to wig quality. This one is an anomaly with its ultra-low price and more than 5,000 positive reviews. It’s available in 15 colors ranging from brown to silver to green, making it a great option for everyday wear or a costume party or event. It has tousled curls throughout and bangs that can either be swept to the side or parted to frame the face. The cap is adjustable between 20 and 21 inches and the hairs are made of Kanekalon fibers that can be heat styled.

One surprised reviewer writes: “My daughter does a phenomenal ‘Cher’ impersonation. Unfortunately, she's a blonde. All black hair wigs in local stores were expensive so we thought ‘let's try Aliexpress.’ The price scared me but she insisted we try. I was waiting with reserved disappointment. Boy, was I shocked! The hair is thick, the hair is a beautiful deep black color. The generous waves were absolutely perfect. I was really, really shocked—we both were.”

7. For a tousled, curly bob

This curly wig offers natural and unique colors, including a wine red and bluish-black. Each one is shoulder-length with bangs and made from synthetic fibers that claim to be soft and smooth. The cap contains straps that can be adjusted to about 21 to 23 inches. You’re sure to fool somebody with this—reviewers say it looks like hair grown straight from your scalp (assuming you choose a naturally occurring shade).

One reviewer gushes: “This product is better than I hoped. Due to medical reasons, I recently had to shave my head. My hair was down to my waist! I was devastated. I purchased a wig that in the photos was similar to how my natural hair looked and it was horrible! It also cost me around $60! This wig was my savior. It was way cheaper and should have been my first pick. It’s soft, looks natural, it's comfortable and truly looks like the photos.”

8. For balayaged strands

Ombré hair, or hair that is dark at the root and lightened through the ends, has been in style for many years. Why settle for one hair color when you can have a gradient containing two? This listing from Bogsea offers several long-haired ombré styles of different hues and a few single-dye wigs. Like others on this list, you can adjust the cap to fit your head from 21 to 23 inches using attached straps and the hair is made of soft synthetic fibers. 

One reviewer writes: “I ordered this wig, thinking it was not going to be anything special. I thought it would be fun for an hour and I'd toss it in the bin. Well, that ain't happening. I love this wig. Straight out of the bag, it feels amazing. I ran a slotted brush through and had some fallout but nothing like I expected. The wig fits perfectly, stays put and is very comfortable.”

9. For a voluminous mane

Whether you prefer ultra-sleek, straight locks or wavy hair, Elesty has you covered. All nine of the synthetic fiber wigs in this listing offer long hair ranging from 20 to 24 inches in length. The listing has colors ranging from platinum blond to black with natural and pastel tones in between. The cap contains adjustable straps and there’s 2.5 inches of lace at the front to customize your hairline to make it look even more natural.

One happy reviewer writes: “For context, I'm a drag queen, so I don't wear these wigs in an ‘everyday’ setting. That being said, these wigs are my absolute favorite that I own! I wear the purple one super often and it's still holding up perfectly even after being restyled a few times. The hair is so dense and thick, and super soft as well; the hairline is so incredible that despite being a drag queen, I almost always have someone ask me if my hair is real when I wear this wig.”

Ready to rock a chic, short cut? This synthetic wig comes in four shades—black, brown ombré, burgundy and a sandy blond ombré—to match your style and all but the straightened brown ombré have a wavy-curly style. Like other wigs on this list, you can adjust the cap to your comfort. The brand recommends you avoid heat styling, so be sure to opt for a style you know you’ll enjoy as-is. 

One reviewer writes: “I was looking for the perfect wig to wear to a wedding, and I came across this one. I was nervous about how it would look on me, but once I received it and tried it on, I fell in love. It's soft in texture, my head did not get sweaty after wearing it for hours like other wigs will get. I received so many compliments. I plan on purchasing another one.”
