Once only worn by bald people and drag queens, apparently the latest trend for mixing up your style is throwing on a wig.
Apart from the odd fancy dress party where a mop of synthetic hair would transform you into Tina Turner or Marylin Monroe, wigs haven't ever been a staple wardrobe essential.
That is all set to change however, because the wig is back in fashion. Over Christmas they have been flying off the shelves, as people can't get enough of them.
Celebrities such as Halle Berry and Pixie Geldof can be held responsible for the recent popularity. Apparently Pixie has quite a collection of the transforming items, whereas singing sensation Beyonce revealed she rarely leaves her house without one in tow.
Fashion changes so fast that wigs are a great of changing with it, the current financial climate means we are no longer able to go into salons and pay for dramatic new changes to our hair.
Wigs are a fantastic way to mix up you're style - you might not have the courage to go ginger but for a day you can give it a whirl. Perfect!
This purple wig is available to buy online from boutique, miabrowne.co.uk, for £59.95. The colour is fantastic, it's a great cut and it looks just like real hair.
