Why is Amazon the best place on the internet, you ask? Beyond super fast shipping, Amazon is basically your personal genie ready and waiting to provide you with a plethora of options for your most random shopping desires. It is a treasure trove of every type of good we can think of, whether you’re looking for products to treat your strawberry skin or want to delay loss of elasticity with the best neck creams. If you’re anything like me, perusing the retailer becomes even more intimidating and overwhelming when I’m hunting for the best wigs on Amazon. Curly Human Hair Wigs

Buying wigs online is a huge gamble, especially considering all the questions you need answered before you add them to your cart. Is the lace as high-definition as marketed? Will I need to book a professional stylist, or is it a breeze for beginners? What lace size should I even buy?
“When shopping for a wig online, the best things to look for are the origin of the hair used for making the wig, the lace color, and the size,” explains celebrity hairstylist JStayReady. Given all you must consider to find one good wig, it’s easy to become discouraged. We all want celebrity-level wigs at a fraction of the cost and with superb quality. It’s a tall order, but several vendors on Amazon can make that dream a reality.
It seems like every year brings about a new lace trend. Gone are the days of limiting 4x4 closure wigs. LuvMe’s latest creation allows closure wig lovers more space and versatility. The 7x6 PartingMax collection offers expansive parting space so you can flip between middle or side parts—or, as the photo shows, zig-zag parting and rubberband styles—to broaden the styles you can create.
An ELLE editor says: “The larger the closure, the better. I’m not a fan of frontal wigs because they come with a major learning curve. However, closure wigs help to give me a frontal look without the hassle, especially the 7x6 PartingMax wig line from LuvMe Hair. As someone who dons middle and side parts, I love having enough space to make my hairstyle look as natural as possible, thanks to all the space this wig provides. Plus, the lace is super thin and HD, which makes it melt seamlessly for an undetectable hairline.” —Nerisha Penrose, beauty commerce editor
The best part about buying a 613 wig is its versatility. Of course, you can leave the wig in its natural blonde state or you can experiment with different hair dyes to create the color, highlights, or ombre you desire. Blonde hair takes dye better than most colors, so the options are endless. This wig comes slightly wavy, but can hold a curl and is thick enough from end to root.
An Amazon reviewer said: “This is my second time buying this wig because I liked it so much. I’ve dyed/toned using the watercolor method without issue. I constantly get compliments from people who think it’s my real hair. I wear it daily and I don’t have issues with much shedding/tangling.”
In the lace wig world, closures are typically easier to install and maintain than a frontal. Lace size matters, which makes the 5x5 closure wig a godsend for beginners looking to mimic the frontal look and keep their edges intact. “This gives the versatility of being able to have multiple parts and light baby hair without the hassle of having to maintain a full hairline by going glueless,” says Dayonna Worrell, UNice hairstylist ambassador.
An Amazon reviewer said: “Unice haș some of the best hair for the value. The hair straightens and curls and looks amazing in photos. The closure is perfect - the lace melts into the skin without an issue. I love that the hair can be colored although I like to keep it natural. Overall I will definitely purchase more from this company I think their products are some of the best.”
Silk press season is typically reserved for the fall/winter to avoid humidity, sweat, and other threats that can ruin a perfectly good press. This wig features a kinky straight texture to mimic blown-out type-4 hair and gives you the silk press feel in just a few simple steps. The lace size is a 4x6 closure, meaning you have more parting space to work with.
An Amazon reviewer said: “This wig is a 10 out of 10. It was easy to install. The adjustable strap was great because I have a large head and it fit very well. The hair is soft and has a little bit of a wave to it. It was easy to curl, wash, and blow dry, buy it.”
If lace closure and frontal wigs seem too challenging, opt for a U-part wig instead. U-part wigs cover most of your hair and come with an opening—shaped in a U—where you can pull out some of your hair to cover the top track and create a seamless blend.
An Amazon reviewer said: “This hair was an amazing price; it hardly shed and it was so full! Will definitely be purchasing from this company again. Great communication and lovely service!”
No glue is required to rock this full wig, which has a fake scalp illusion at the top to mimic real kinky, curly hair. Because it’s 100 percent human hair, it can be dyed, blown out, and curled without ruining the quality.
An Amazon reviewer said: “You do have to give this wig a little TLC, but once you do, it’s very beautiful! I use water and mouse and I’ve received so many compliments! This is my new go-to wig now! You’ll love it!”
If you’re looking for a low-lift, no-fuss wig for everyday wear, this brown wig from Haircube is your next purchase. It is made of synthetic hair, which means it likely won’t last as long as human hair, but it doesn’t require much manipulation and is easily customizable.
An Amazon reviewer said: “Looks so realistic. Kinda sheds a bit but no problem. Comfort is great. Soft touch, not too shiny, and the color is perfect.”
Why save your balayage look for the warmer months when you can wear it year-round or whenever you want? This unit loads on the highlights for a more brownish-blonde ombre that runs from roots to ends.
An Amazon reviewer said: “Very beautiful. This is a very full and thick wig. I have nothing but good to say about this company. I recommend it to everyone!!!!!”
A viral TikTok wig and a good bang for your buck, Sensationnel’s Butta Lace line takes everything you thought you knew about synthetic wigs and flips it on its head. The lace is pretty thin and HD, so it will melt into your scalp so well others won’t be able to guess it’s a wig.
An Amazon reviewer said: “I love this wig. The lace is really nice and was bendable. I love the colors and the curls. I get so many compliments on this wig. It does tangle, but some silicone spray will help with the tangles. It honestly looks better the older it gets.”
WowAngel’s Skinlike HD is thinner than most offerings, which means your wig will be undetectable to any curious eyes. Even better, this wig is a 13x6 frontal wig, so you can morph and flip the hair into a bevy of styles.
An Amazon reviewer said: “The best wig I’ve ever purchased from Amazon. No need to pluck and the lace melts perfectly. The hair is so soft and true to length. I did bleach the knots and it came out flawless.”
Color doesn’t have to be scary, especially when you can test a colored wig before putting your hair through the dyeing process. If you’re on the hunt for a copper transformation, opt for this reddish-brown, 13x4 wig that comes with an HD lace and a breathable cap for longer wear.
An Amazon reviewer said: “I absolutely love this unit. The hair is so soft with little to no shedding. It true to description and the color is gorgeous. I appreciate the pre-plucked hairline; very natural. Overall I would purchase this unit again without question.”
Vacation calls for a curly wig that can withstand pool or beach water and still dry to a gorgeous wave. CheetahBeauty’s HD lace wig has a deeper curl pattern than loose or water wave and can easily be refreshed with water and conditioner for luscious, bouncy curls. Keep in mind that the longer the hair, the looser the curl pattern.
An Amazon reviewer said: “If you’re looking at reviews trying to decide if this wig is as good as it looks. This is your sign to get it! This is my third time installing the hair and it installed just as good as the first time. The curl pattern is so cute and it’s not kinky! I don’t usually leave reviews but I’m doing it for the Amazon girlies. 😊”
For a shorter bang wig option, this Amazon bestseller comes pre-colored in a black and brown highlighted style. The bangs fall about four inches over the face, so you’ll likely have to cut and style the wig to your desired length or thinness. The wig is also designed with a natural hairline that can be plucked for a more realistic illusion.
An Amazon reviewer said: “For a wig on the cheaper side, this one is very cute! It doesn’t shed very much when brushed and the color is just how I thought it would be from the picture. Definitely 5 stars.”
Switching to ginger hair color can be quite a transformation. Take baby steps toward your desired shade by opting for this deep chocolate wig. The pre-colored wig is deep enough for a subtle lift from black, and can be colored even more if you want highlights or to go full-on ginger.
An Amazon reviewer said: “This color really gave what it needed too!! As someone who knows how certain browns can look, this one did not disappoint!! It was the perfect color of chocolate brown, just like they said, and it seemed like it was coming out of my scalp!! This wig color makes me want to dye my real hair this color!! The hair was soft and gave a blowout look when straight, which I personally loved!”
Choose your bob: Rihanna in the “Work” video or Kerry Washington’s signature “Scandal” look? With this wig, the sky’s the limit for the many different bob hairstyles you can create, whether you favor a side or middle part, curly or straight, and blunt or feathered.
An Amazon reviewer said: “I love this wig. So soft and full! Hair does not shed and lace makes for an easy install. MUST BUY!”

If you’re new to wigs, you might not want to jump into lace fronts immediately. Instead, Unice ambassador Dayonna Worrell advises starting with a 5x5 closure first, then working your way up. “I’d recommend beginners start the 5x5 lace closure wigs. This gives the versatility of being able to have multiple parts and light baby hair without the hassle of maintaining a full hairline by going glueless,” she explains. Plus, 5x5 closures are quick and easy to remove.
Celebrity hairstylist JStayReady, who counts Doja Cat, Coco Jones, and Kelly Rowland as clients, shares one simple piece of advice: “Treat [the wig] as if it were your own hair,” he says. Just as you’d have a wash day for your natural hair, wigs deserve some TLC, too. “Shampoo and condition when needed, stay away from harsh chemicals/products, don’t use excessive heat, and your wig should last you for years,” he explains. Worrell adds, “Always detangle hair from the ends and work your way up. Be super gentle with the lace. Try not to scratch over it or cause any friction on the lace to prevent balding.” Those who are glue-averse and prefer a glueless style, invest in a mannequin to preserve your wig quality.
A wig install is only as good as its lace, but there are a few important products needed for an undetectable melt. First, research and invest in a long-lasting wig glue. “Ghostbond is essential for a seamless and secure hold; a lace band to melt the lace into the skin after installation and a great lace tint or makeup for blending are also needed for a flawless finish,” JStayReady explains.
