Red wig is a bold colour that stands out and suits many complexions – it’s the hair of choice for characters such as Daphne from Scooby-Doo, Black Widow in Marvel films or even the mean Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. There are also plenty of Disney princesses with red hair, so if your child wants to dress up as one of them then you can easily find the right character wig to match.

If you choose a human hair wig then we recommend using hair oils for coloured hair to nourish it and keep the colours vibrant (this can be applied to synthetic wigs too). It’s best not to over-heat human hair wigs as they can be damaged and shorten their lifespan.

Top 5 Red Wigs to Transform Your Look Instantly

There are a variety of lengths of red wigs available to suit all face shapes, but we’d suggest keeping it shorter for everyday wear (16 inches and below). A wide tooth comb is also your best friend when combing your wig and avoiding using brushes that are too narrow as these can pull on the fibres causing frizz. When choosing colours to compliment your red wig, yellows and blues work well with it, but you can also experiment with greens and purples too.
