These Wigs on Amazon Look Super Realistic, According to Rave Reviews (2024)

Amazon shoppers can't get enough of this versatile bob with more than 10,400 reviews. Customers say that the quality synthetic hair, combined with the wide range of lengths and colors — 16, to be exact! — make it a standout choice.

"The color is phenomenal, like a natural auburn with highlights," said one Amazon reviewer. "The wave pattern also looks natural."According to reviewers, the breathable net cap offers comfort, while the hair itself is soft and durable, allowing for the wig to be worn for years. Just note that it does lack a clear middle part, if that's a sticking point for you.

For under $30, this pre-styled synthetic lob offers great value. It features a middle part and natural-looking highlights, as well as a breathable net and side pads.

One Amazon reviewer couldn't get enough of its natural look, saying she has purchased three different versions. "I have received so many compliments while wearing it," adds another user, who commented on its lightweight feel and great coloring: "It feels comfortable on my head, and unlike other wigs, it wasn’t scratchy." However, some reviewers did express concern regarding how long the wig would ultimately last.

Bring some bounce to your look with this wig that will give you the look and feel of natural curly hair. This luxe piece is made with real hair so that you can wash, blow out and dye it. Many online shoppers appreciate its "buttery soft" texture and "natural look" after washing and trimming to their preference.

The caveat: It's on the pricier end, but many reviewers think the price is fair given its quality. Because it's made from human hair, expect this wig to involve a bit more maintenance, too. One reviewer says she detangles hers with curl cream and sprays it weekly with water to keep it moisturized.

Made with unprocessed human hair from Brazil, this wig is higher quality than most. Featuring a pre-plucked hairline and an invisible lace front for a more seamless illusion, it's racked up over 4,000 five-star reviews on Amazon.

To maximize its longevity, the brand recommends washing it regularly to minimize static electricity. "It sheds some, but not an unbearable amount," said one Amazon reviewer. "It's a great wig for the price. Actually, this is my second time buying this one. The first lasted for about two years."

If you want a fuller look, consider this human hair wig featuring a cascading wave pattern and glueless application. You can choose from nine versions, varying in length from 14 to 30 inches. A common thread among reviewers is that it takes bleaching well and prompts less shedding and tangling than other wigs they've tried.

In fact, one person wrote: "I have had so many compliments about my new hair. The unit has a natural shine, and it fits on my head perfectly. The hair is durable thus far, and it does not shed. Also, the density of the unit I got was 180, and it was very full and thick."

Get blowout-level results without a major markup. This wig delivers full, voluminous curls available in a wide variety of shades. "I wore this for my wedding, and no one could tell it was a synthetic lace wig," wrote one satisfied shopper. "The curls are flawless and do not easily tangle with care ... I've bought this wig numerous times and will continue to do so."

The brand claims the hair fibers can handle heat up to 450ºF, meaning you should be able to touch this wig up with a curling iron for some extra oomph. Reviewers advise keeping a wide tooth comb and mousse on hand to prevent the synthetic hair from tangling.

When the occasion calls for a bit more simplicity, this everyday bob does so in a chic, sleek fashion. It's made from unprocessed real hair, per the brand, for silky softness and for easy bleaching and dyeing.

The large, transparent lace front makes it easier to customize your hair part, according to Amazon reviewers. This particular style requires little maintenance since the hairline comes pre-plucked with baby hairs — many reviewers praised its easy application. Though, one shopper said a few filler hairs looked messy following a few wears.

With a 4.4 star rating on Amazon, this colorful wavy wig is a bold statement piece for Halloween and beyond. One GH staffer purchased it for Halloween and attests that it has lasted her many years before fraying. Impressed by its quality and length, she bought another version in a different color, too.

Reviewers agree, with one writing: "Amazing quality wig, especially for the price. Surprisingly, [it] has anti-slide clips sewn into the wig netting." However, our staffer did notice that the bangs needed some shaping due to its slightly short, choppy length.

Balayage can cost upward of $300 at the salon, but thanks to this Amazon wig, you can achieve similar results for just $20. This wavy, hip-length wig comes in an assortment of color variations, too, including a classic brown balayage and a blonde ombre.

It exceeded one reviewer's expectations: "The weight, the amount of hair, the real-life look, everything! So easy to install and it fits my head just right!" Shoppers also noted that the 24-inch long-haired wig could tangle but nothing that a comb or a run of fingers couldn't fix.

✔️ Wig construction: "[Look for] a wig that has small knots and thin lace, so it will be easy to blend to your skin," says Gibson. "The hair [should be] full, starting at the roots down to the ends."

✔️ Lace quality: "Lace" is a mesh or lace fabric that is sewn into the wig's hairline or cap. If the lace is thick then it’ll be more difficult to melt into your hairline, appearing unnatural. "Thick lace [is] hard to blend to look natural," says Gibson.

✔️ Fit: "When shopping for a wig you should look for one that fits your head," explains Gibson. If you're new to the wig world, consider shopping for a closure wig, which gives the illusion that your natural hair is growing from your scalp. "It requires less maintenance and is easier to blend since it’s less lace," Gibson says.

✔️ Style and length: Gibson also suggests that in order to determine the best wig for you, consider the type of hairstyle you want to wear, as well as your lifestyle and hair needs.

Most wigs can last a long time if properly cared for and maintained. Similar to how your natural hair requires daily upkeep, so do wigs. The type of wig you have might result in different care practices so it is always important to read any instructions or tips from the brand in order to best manage your wig.

Here are some general rules of thumb:

• For human hair wigs, wash with shampoo and conditioner.
• For synthetic wigs, you can use a gentle wig-safe shampoo and then spritz with a leave-in conditioner once the hair is fully dry.
• Use sulfate-free hair products.“I recommend staying away from alcohol-based and sulfate hair products," says Gibson. These types of products can compromise the quality of hair.
• Carefully store the wig. After you have cleansed your wig, make sure the wig is fully dry and then consider your options. You can keep it in a satin bag to keep it frizz-free, or utilize a wig head, which helps to keep the shape and style.
