Before we dive into our favorite short wigs, a common question we hear is, “What face shape is best for short wigs?” The answer varies between hairstyles. For example, bob haircuts complement most face shapes while pixie wigs are great for square, heart, and oval-shaped faces. However, we still encourage you to try a short wig if that’s the style you like!
Our Favorite Short Wigs
Pixie Wigs
Pixies have been a trend amongst celebrities since Twiggy came on the scene in the 1960s. Pixie wigs are a great option for trying out a bold style that’s on trend but without the commitment of cutting your hair. This type of style offers the lowest maintenance and in most cases, is easiest to style. If you are looking for a cute short wig, we’ve got you covered!
Risk Comfort by Ellen Wille is perfect if you have a sensitive scalp. This synthetic wig has a hand tied wefted cap for a lightweight feel. The pixie cut has lots of layers for added texture. The extended lace front gives you a seamless hairline.

Bob wigs are a timeless style that looks great on women of all ages. And we can see why! They fit different face shapes, so you’ll always look great in your bob haircut. Plus, they require minimal maintenance since they sit right at or above the shoulders, which means less friction and tangling of the hair.
