Wigs can do more than change your hairstyle—they can completely elevate your look. But the key to pulling off a flawless finish lies in choosing the right wig for your face shape. The wrong style can throw off your facial proportions, while the right one will complement your features and bring balance to your look.
In this guide, we’ll break down face shapes and match them with wig styles that naturally enhance your beauty. Whether you’re new to wigs or ready to refresh your collection, this is the starting point you need.
Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing the Right Wig
When choosing the right wig, your face shape helps determine what styles will:
-
Soften strong angles
-
Lengthen or widen your appearance
-
Highlight your best features
-
Create a more symmetrical look
Just like you wouldn’t choose sunglasses without considering your face shape, your wig choice should follow the same logic.
Identifying Your Face Shape
Stand in front of a mirror and trace the outline of your face using a makeup pencil or washable marker. This helps determine if your shape is:
-
Oval
-
Round
-
Square
-
Heart
-
Long/Rectangular
-
Diamond
Once you’ve identified your shape, it’s time to match it with the perfect wig.
Best Wigs for Oval Face Shape
Features: Balanced forehead and jaw, slightly narrower chin.
Wig Styles:
You’re in luck—almost every wig style flatters an oval face. You can wear:
-
Long waves
-
Sleek bobs
-
Layered cuts
-
Curly styles
Pro Tip: Experiment with parting styles or bold colors from our Makeup Collection to personalize your look.

Wig Styles:
The goal here is to elongate your face:
-
Long straight styles
-
Side-swept bangs
-
Layers that fall below the chin
-
Deep side parts
Avoid:
Chin-length bobs and blunt bangs, which can make the face appear rounder.

Features: Strong jawline, wide forehead.
Wig Styles:
Soften the angles with:

Loose curls
-
Wavy layers
-
Side bangs
-

Draw attention away from the forehead:

Chin-length bobs
-
Side-swept styles

Curls or waves at the bottom

Light bangs
Avoid:
Heavy top volume, which can exaggerate the width of your forehead.

Wig Styles:
Add width and volume to the sides:
-
Curls and waves
-

FAQs About Choosing the Right Wig
1. How do I know what wig will look good on me?
The best way is to match wig styles to your face shape. Try styles that balance your features and enhance your natural beauty. Oval faces can wear almost anything, while other shapes benefit from specific cuts and lengths.
2. Can I try on wigs virtually?
Yes! Many brands offer virtual try-ons. While Butterfly Tiffs doesn’t currently have that feature, we’re happy to guide you through options based on your face shape and preferences.
3. What wig length is most flattering?
It depends on your face shape and height. For round or square faces, longer wigs add length. For long or oval faces, shoulder-length or layered styles add balance.
4. Should I choose a wig with bangs?
Choosing the right wig may include bangs if you have a longer face or wide forehead. Side bangs or wispy fringe can soften your features beautifully.
5. Do lace front wigs work for all face shapes?
Yes! Lace front wigs offer a natural hairline and work for any face shape. The trick is in choosing the right cut and parting style to suit your features.
Final Thought:
Choosing the right wig can transform how you look—and how you feel. Let your wig highlight the most beautiful version of you by matching it with your unique face shape and personality.
