A Halloween costume wig can turn a frumpy costume into a fantastic one. When you select a wig, consider your costume as well as the image you want to convey. A costume can go from tame to tantalizing with just the flip of a wig. It’s all in the hair, honey.
Why a Wig?You may be asking, “Why a wig?” Well, Halloween is a time for fun and fantasy. Face it, Halloween is just as much fun for the adults as it is for the kids – only the candy is a little different. A Halloween costume wig can take your look to the next level. Wigs make it easy to change your look in an instant with little effort. If you are normally a brunette haired homemaker, why not don a French maid costume and an auburn wig? Hello mamma! Ooh la la!
Types of wigsThe beauty of wigs is that they come in every conceivable color, length and style. You can select a blonde wig with long, wavy hair or a short and sassy brunette wig. Take your look to Funkytown with an afro wig or go for the glitz with a silver halo of curls. You are only limited by your own imagination.
Selecting your WigSelecting a Halloween costume wig is a little different from choosing an everyday wig. Since you will not likely wear the wig on a daily basis, you don’t have to be quite so specific on fit, but you do want it to be comfortable. Your Halloween costume wig should be a little snug so that it won’t fall off, but it should not bind or cut into your skin. Some wigs are actually hair pieces and can be simply pinned into the natural hair.
Be a Bombshell with a Blonde WigA blonde wig can give your costume some vavava voom! Whether short and flirty or long and sleek, you can give your look a golden touch. Remember in the movie “Pretty Woman” where Vivian wore the blonde wig and it gave her a really sexy look? Well, it doesn’t just work for movie stars; it can work for you too.
Find your Funk with an Afro WigIf you want to give your costume a cool flair, get an afro wig. Straight from the seventies’ disco era, a “natural” or afro wig brings life and fun to your look. Whether it is close to the head or long and wild, you will definitely get a reaction!
Match your Wig to your CostumeYour Halloween costume wig should match your costume. While it is certainly fine to let your wig throw a fun spin on your costume, you don’t want something that is so conflicting that it is difficult to look at or just looks bad. Try it all on together, wig, costume, everything; before you commit.
Sweet or Sexy: It’s all in the Wig!So you want a sweet look or do you want to go all goth and vampish? Well, it is all in the wig. Think about the look or mood that you want to convey, then it is a matter of putting it together. Now, whether you go with the wig first, or the costume is just a matter of the chicken or the egg. It makes no difference. Do what works for you then hit that Halloween party and have an awesome time!
