If you haven’t seen funny memes floating around about women rejecting traditional Valentine’s Day gifts for wigs, then you clearly have been on a social media hiatus. As the taboo around wearing wigs grows, and more women embrace hair pieces in order to try different styles, the business of wigs is expanding.
But the wig marketplace can be tricky and overwhelming to navigate if you’re a novice. And if you’re trying to purchase one for your Valentine or Galentine without guidance, it’ll be damn near impossible.
Don’t end up in a hairy situation. If she’s a naturalista, or wants to explore her curly, coily or kinky side, try one of these retailers. They’re great destinations for natural hair wigs, and for wigs that look completely natural.
