Serena Williams in afro-type, straight and curly wigs

A Moment of Silence for Serena Williams' Wigs

Whether on the court or on the red carpet, Serena Williams never fails to give us an admirable, jaw-dropping hair look. A month after Wimbledon, we’re celebrating Serena Williams’ hair looks - keep reading for some hair and wig inspiration you can send to your stylist, today! 

Incredible Kinks 

Williams never shys away from a kinky-curly look, and here, she showed us just how fearless she can get with her curls. The transformational afro-type curls were complemented by deep brown roots and light brown ends. With her sun-kissed deep curls, the tennis-champ-turned-businesswoman gave the girls kinky-curly inspiration for the summer and beyond!

On-Court Curls

And of course, we could never neglect Williams' on-court curls. What do we love most about Williams' serves on the tennis court? She also serves us undeniable hair looks! 

Her ombre ponytail, graduating from jet black roots down to light honey-blonde ends, captured the attention of several supporters, including us. A practical step, Williams made use of grips, pins and bands to keep her hair in place, while keeping her opposition on their toes.

P.S we can’t move on without appreciating her slick back edges - if Williams can keep her edges laid whilst running up and down a court in the heat, then this gives us hope that we can keep ours laid for brunch... at least!

Serena Goes Straight

But what about when Williams switches it up to straight hair? That’s right - we still stand (or cheer) in awe!

Williams took the straighteners out and wowed us with her new look for the Wimbledon Champions Dinner... we mean, straight, a side-part and long?! Far from the norm for Williams, her look was appreciated, hailed and never forgotten. 

Let us know in the comments - are you rocking with straight Serena or Curls Serena? We can't decide!

A Curly Lob for the Ages

We couldn’t discuss Williams’ show-stoppings wigs without bringing your attention to her iconic lob earlier this year. Long bobs, also referred to as lobs, have been in all year, and we’re over the moon that Williams showed us her take on it.

With blonde and brown highlights, and water-wave curls, Williams strutted into the Critics Choice Award with her stunning curly lob and took some amazing flicks that we’re forever grateful for. If you're looking for some more blonde Serena Williams-inspired hair looks, check out this Elle article here!

From kinks, curls and bone-straight wigs, there isn’t a wig Serena Williams has rocked that we haven’t cherished. You would think being a mother of 2, a successful fashion designer, and of course, one of the world’s greatest tennis players that it may be hard to keep slaying wig looks every so often - but no, our queen keeps her hair top notch and in style at all times! Looking for more wig inspiration?

Before you start

What you need

Get this right
from the start

Most fit problems trace back to how the measurement was taken, not the number itself.

A soft fabric measuring tape — metal tapes give inaccurate readings.
With or without wig cap? If you plan to wear one, measure with it on.
Snug, not tight. The tape should sit firmly but not indent your skin.
A mirror or a friend. A second set of hands improves accuracy.
Circumference

Step 01 · Primary measurement

The anchor

Circumference

Place the tape around your head at the hairline — approximately ¼ inch above your eyebrows and ears. Bring it around the back at the base of your skull. Keep the tape parallel to the floor the entire way around.

Why it mattersThis is the primary anchor. When you're between sizes, circumference is always the tiebreaker.
Common mistakeTipping the tape up at the back. Keep it level all the way around.
Enter your circumference
inches

This number takes precedence

Front to Nape

Step 02 · Secondary measurement

Nape comfort

Front to Nape

Start at your natural hairline at the center of your forehead. Run the tape back over the crown to the nape of your neck where your hairline ends. Let the tape follow the curve of your head.

Why it mattersDetermines nape comfort over a full day. If slightly short, you'll feel it by afternoon.
Common mistakeStarting from the scalp instead of the hairline. Always begin at the hairline.
Enter your front to nape
inches

Affects nape comfort over long wear

Ear to Ear

Step 03 · Secondary measurement

Front stability

Ear to Ear

Begin at the top of one ear where it starts to curve. Bring the tape up and over the crown to the same point on the opposite ear. The tape runs across the top of your head, not around it.

Why it mattersControls whether the front stays in place. If too small, the wig will gradually ride back over the course of the day.
Common mistakeStarting at the earlobe instead of the top curve. This adds length unnecessarily.
Enter your ear to ear
inches

Determines front stability and placement

Your recommended cap

Retake measurements

Understanding your size

Your cap has a range

The adjustable back strap gives you roughly half an inch of flexibility in each direction.
If you're between sizes, sizing up always works — a slightly larger cap adjusted with the strap fits better than a slightly small one.
A full day of wear tells you more than 10 minutes. Nape comfort reveals itself over hours.

On comfort and security

A well-fitting wig should feel comfortable — not tight, not grippy.

"Comfortable is correct.
Tight is not security."
