Selecting This Year's Fantasy: Halloween Wigs

By Jane Alman


No Halloween costume is really complete without Halloween wigs. They play a very big role in letting us pretend to be someone else, if for only just the night of the party. They are surprisingly easy to find, so it is not hard to find a look that is truly unique and will stand out in the largest crowd of revelers. Simply taking a few hours off to go shop for one is a party in itself.

Probably the most prominent need for someone to look for a party hairpiece is a costume that demands them to impersonate some familiar figure. It comes as no surprise that most of the famous people in the world can be identified immediately by their mere hair style. Perhaps it is Marilyn, or that other 1950s legend, Elvis, or George Washington.

There are broad types rather than individuals who are equally recognizable to most people. Everyone recognizes the Mohawk cut, which can be used to suggest either the Native American warrior or the urban punk. Other styles, like the giant Afro, suggest the 1970s and nothing but the 1970s.

Of course there are superstars from the more fantastic corners of the imagination, many coming from movies and other pop culture. Hair might not be everything, but it is still indispensable to make at least a good effort. The Frankenstein monster, or his satirical knock-off, Herman Munster, should be flat headed with a thin mop of hair, and Goldilocks should have a style that is ornate and, yes, golden.

Sometimes everyone gets caught doing other things until the last moment, and there is no time left either to make up or put on any character at all. In times like that, a wig bought at the last moment at least shows other party-goers some effort. If Bob has a crew cut, when wearing a Marilyn wig he might not be Marilyn exactly, but he will fit in at the soiree anyway.

Fortunately, those impulse shoppers among us will face little trouble locating some place that sells novelty hairpieces. Few of us are out of range of some neighborhood discount stores, pawn shops or military outlet stores, and full scale costume shops are hardly rare. With just a bit of foresight, the Halloween shopper has numerous online costumers to choose from.

This is the one part of a costume that does more to change anyone into someone else, than anything else. It might be just the piece to begin with before choosing anything else. Halloween wigs promise to make the autumn holiday party more festive.
