Wig wearing is more common than people. Donning a wig or hairpiece for cosmetic reasons, or to conceal temporary or permanent hair loss is no longer the taboo it used to be. In fact, even the world’s biggest names are getting in on the action.
There are countless celebrities who wear wigs, both in their daily lives and on the red carpet. Here we take a closer look at the celebrity world’s most famous wig wearers as well as reveal the secrets that’ll help you enjoy your very own celebrity-inspired look.
The long-time actress and Brit starlet has been particularly vocal about her use of wigs. Keira Knightley faced hair loss challenges for a number of years and used wigs for much of her career as a result. Here Keira discusses her hair loss experiences with Cosmopolitan:
“I have dyed my hair virtually every colour imaginable, for different films… It got so bad that my hair literally began to fall out of my head. So for the past five years I’ve used wigs, which is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to my hair.”
During her time as a wig wearer, Keira continued to experiment with various hair colours and styles without putting her natural locks under additional stress.
