Chocolate brown at bob-to-shoulder length is about as universally flattering as hair gets. Warm enough to lift the complexion, dark enough to be taken seriously, and in the range that suits almost every face shape.
Against black, it's the more forgiving choice. Solid black is stark against pale and mid skin tones and can pull colour out of the face; a warm brown reflects light back. It also photographs considerably better, where black tends to lose its detail and read as a silhouette.
13x4 lace front
Thirteen inches across, four inches back — ear-to-ear coverage with genuine parting space. Part it in the middle, sweep it to one side, or move it between wears without a cap edge appearing at the temples.
A full frontal matters more at short lengths than at long ones. On a 30-inch wig, hair falls forward and covers the top of the head. On a 12 or 14 inch bob it doesn't — the parting and hairline sit in plain view in most of the ways you'll wear it, so lace running the full width is what makes it convincing.
Four lengths, 12 to 18 inches
12" sits at the jaw for a proper bob. 14" falls just below. 16" reaches the collarbone, and 18" sits at the shoulder.
This is the easiest range to live with, and the reasons are practical rather than aesthetic. Short wigs are lighter on the cap, so less pulling across a full day. They tangle far less at the nape, which is where wigs actually wear out. They dry in a fraction of the time. And they last longer as a result.
Wigs arrive compressed from packaging and look thinner and shorter than expected — shake it out and let it hang before judging it.
Why it's worth buying
- A bob without the haircut. If you've been circling a shorter cut for months, this answers it — and you can change your mind that evening.
- Brown suits more people than any other shade. It works at the office and at dinner without adjustment, and needs no toning or upkeep.
- Full parting freedom at bob length. A 13x4 on a short wig is unusual, and it's what stops it reading as a wig.
- The easiest wig to live with. Light, quick to wash, minimal tangling, no tying it back at night.
- Human hair. Flat-iron it into a sharp blunt bob, or add a wave for something softer. It'll take colour going darker too.
- It protects your own hair. No heat, no colour, no daily manipulation underneath.
Care
Wash with a sulphate-free shampoo, condition through the mid-lengths and ends rather than the roots, and air dry on a stand. Detangle from the ends upward with a wide-tooth comb. Use a heat protectant and keep temperatures moderate — short hair invites frequent flat-ironing, and repeated heat is what wears a wig out.
A weekly deep-conditioning mask makes a real difference, since a wig has no scalp feeding it oil. Handle the lace gently at the hairline, and store it on a stand so the shape holds between wears.
Warm brown, a proper hairline, and the length that's easiest to wear.
Length and shrinkage guide
All our lengths are measured stretched. Textured hair sits shorter than its stated measurement once it is dry:
- Straight — almost no shrinkage. What you order is what you see.
- Body wave — an inch or two shorter.
- Deep wave and water wave — roughly a fifth to a quarter shorter.
- Curly and kinky curly — up to half. A 20 inch curly piece can sit at 10 inches once dry.
If you are between two lengths, take the longer one. Length disappointment is the commonest reason wigs get sent back, and sizing up costs nothing.
Wigs also arrive compressed from packaging and look thinner and shorter than expected. Shake it out and let it hang before judging it.
Choosing your cap
The cap decides how convincing the wig looks and how much skill it takes to put on. Neither end of this list is better — they suit different people.
- 4x4 closure — the simplest to install and the hardest to get wrong. One parting position. The sensible first wig.
- 4x6, 4x7 and 5x5 closure — a wider lace area, so you can move your parting without exposing the cap.
- 13x4 frontal — ear to ear coverage with real parting space. Middle part, deep side sweep, or moved between wears.
- 13x5 and 13x6 frontal — five or six inches of depth, so a deep middle part stays convincing all the way back.
- 360 frontal — lace around the whole perimeter. The only option if you want high ponytails and updos.
- V-part and half wigs — no lace at all. Your own hair is left out to blend, so the parting is genuinely your scalp.
Frontals give the most freedom and take the most practice. Closures are quicker, more forgiving, and often wearable glueless with straps and combs.
Care
A human hair wig has no scalp feeding it oil, so the ends dry out faster than your own hair would. Looking after it is the difference between a wig that lasts a season and one that lasts years.
- Detangle from the ends upward, never from the roots down. On textured hair, do it wet with conditioner in — dry brushing pulls the wave or curl pattern out permanently.
- Wash sparingly with a sulphate-free shampoo, in sections rather than piling it up.
- Condition through the mid-lengths and ends rather than the roots, and use a weekly mask.
- Air dry on a stand. Allow plenty of time at higher densities — a dense wig put away damp is how wigs develop a smell.
- Heat protectant every time, at moderate temperatures. Repeated high heat wears a wig out faster than anything else.
- Refresh between wears with water and a little conditioner in a spray bottle rather than rewashing.
- Handle lace gently at the hairline, and store on a stand so the shape holds.
On coloured hair: reds and blondes fade fastest. Wash in cool water, and use a purple toning shampoo every few washes on blonde and highlighted pieces.
