Wigs are worn for basically three purposes: to depict a character from a movie or a period play; to hide a balding head and to a costume party. While the above mentioned first two reasons are compulsions, the last reason is mostly for fun. Adding a costume to your fancy dress will add a certain charm to the character that you wish to depict, be it from history, literature or fiction. A lot of time and effort is spent in the making of these wigs by the make – up teams in movies and theatre.shopping

There is a plethora of wigs available these days, so depending upon your costume, you could pick up a wig to suit your style. Starting from the spiky stone – age wigs to American Indian, Chinese, colonial and the modern period, the choice is endless. An elegant Grecian outfit would not be complete without braids and curls, interspersed with pearls and other jewelry for women, while a Roman wig must have a crown of leaves for men.

Wigs for different movie celebrities and starlets are also available. There are elaborate headgears and veils with many medieval costumes, so if you wish to dress up as a lord or lady during the French period, you have many choices. The Victorian era head gear of a white wig is an all – time classic. The costume wig for ladies is heavy on the top with many braids and may be embellished with ribbons and other jewels. Wigs are available for different nationalities too. For example, there are African hair wigs with a shock of hair all over, unless you prefer a blonde or red hair wig.
