The wonderful thing about looking for the best wigs for older ladies is that there’s no one way to define what a wig for an older woman is. Whatever you feel comfortable and confident in is the wig for you.
That said, we know that there are some concerns older women might have about their hair and how to cope with hair loss. We’re going to take a look at some of the best wigs for older ladies we’ve found to make sure that all our customers feel fabulous and ready to take on the world!
Colour
Grey hair is elegant and sophisticated, and we believe that all colours deserve to be flaunted. We offer a range of wigs in shades of grey, from very dark with black and brown tints to gorgeous white wigs with silver highlights. Remember, there is no wrong way to wear your grey.
KYU
Our Kyu wig from the Sentoo Premium Collection is one of our best wigs for older women as it comes in a range of nine shades of grey to suit any wig-wearer. The tones of brown and white in some of the colours make it easy to find one that will perfectly complement your skin tone.
SKY
The Sky wig comes in a wide range of blondes and browns as well as several reds and even some greys. It has wispy and feathery layers that can flatter any face shape and can be tousled or smooth, depending on your preference. The side-swept fringe and a slightly longer neckline are perfect if you’re wearing this over your own hair.
WINNER
POPULAR STYLE
You might be looking to avoid grey all together – sometimes, a bright splash of colour is exactly what you need to feel your most confident self. The aptly-named Winner wig by Raquel Welch is a winner for that goal, with eight different shades of red from subtle to bold and bright.
Length
There is no rule that says women need to have short, cropped hair as they get older. Looking for the best wigs for older women (or anyone else) is really about finding a style that works for your face shape and, of course, makes you feel fabulous! This could be a short style or might be longer. We have a range of cropped and short wigs if that’s what you prefer, but short isn’t the only option.
JACKSON
The Jackson wig from Noriko is shoulder-length and sleek, with a slight lift and feathered ends to give you a fantastic shape. Its soft fringe will frame your face, and some volume at the crown perfectly complements the length.
TEMPO
100 DELUXE
For length with more grey options, try the Tempo 100 Deluxe wig from Ellen Wille. It is an incredibly classy option in a sleek bob with side layers. It comes in four different grey colour options (as well as blonde and brown) and sits just above the shoulders for gorgeous natural movement.
Hairline
If you’re worried about your wig’s hairline being obvious, there are ways to disguise it so that it looks completely natural, such as with a fringe or lace-front wig.
MAY
The May wig from Noriko is an elegant bob with a gorgeous side-swept fringe that draws attention to your face rather than your hairline. There is feathering on the sides of the wig to ensure that it isn’t too heavy, and the layers won’t overpower your features.
FLIP MONO
100 DELUXE
Alternatively, the Flip Mono wig by Ellen Wille not only has a fringe carefully cut to sit at brow-level but is even a lace-front wig. These are designed to have the most natural-looking hairlines – the lace is pre-cut, but you can trim it if you prefer for your own comfort. It is also monofilament, meaning you can part it wherever you choose, and it will look as if it is coming from your head.
Hair Enhancers
If you’re concerned about a wig making your hair look too thick, then hair enhancers may be the thing for you. With a range of lengths, colours and styles available, hair enhancers can add even more style to your look and adding them to your own hair means that the volume will look more natural. With the options of half-wig extensions, toppers and accessory pieces, you need never be stuck for ways to change up your style and look great doing it! You may prefer these to even the best wigs for older ladies.
Be Yourself
The most important thing, by far, when you’re looking for the best wigs for older women is to be yourself. There’s no such thing as age-inappropriate hair – whatever you feel good in is the most appropriate style for you.
CARRIE
At Simply Wigs, we love the Carrie wig by Noriko, sleek but with soft curls towards the tips of the hair. It’s a little longer, a little retro and a whole lot of stylish. It’s available in sixteen gorgeous colours and is the perfect romantic piece, with a stylish side-swept fringe. It really is fabulous!
If this is your first time wearing a wig, we have a blog post with advice to help you out, and some of our brave customers have shared their experiences with wearing a wig for the first time.
We truly believe that the best wig for older ladies can be any wig – everyone deserves to feel stylish and look great at any age. If you aren’t feeling confident in your hair, please contact our friendly team so they can help you find the best style for you.
I would like to know which brand of wig you consider best for lower density, suitable for older customers. I also need a lace front .
