Angelica by Noriko wigs | Long Wig

Today we want to spotlight a long and luscious wig called Angelica by Noriko.


Layers add a sexy and free-flowing appeal to longer hair. Angelica by Noriko brand wigs will surely turn heads with the captivating length, movement and style. This wig was designed by world-renowned wig designer Noriko Suzuki who has been in the biz for over 2 decades. Her pristine attention to detail and precision cuts are stunning, believable and memorable.

Angelica has been a top-selling wig for both the Noriko brand and Wigs.com, and it’s easy to see why she has been a long-lasting favorite. This long wig offers over 16inches of graduated length styled in a layered cut that is longest at the back and beautifully frames the face. Angelica even has built-in volume for amazing sex appeal. The flowing layers come with a slight wave pattern at the ends and offer natural movement. They can even be customized; trim the layers to your liking, or have your stylist cut bangs into the wig. Try sweeping side bangs or a straight-across, brow skimming style.

Long styles like Angelica allow you the versatility to accessorize as well; pull the hair back in a low or side ponytail and add hair accessories such as clips, scarves, and headbands. The durable, open-wefted cap and the comfortable top allow for cool, lightweight and long wear. So let yourself glow in Angelica – an absolutely gorgeous long wig by Noriko.

Celebrity Wigs | Lady Gaga

This has certainly been the era of Lady Gaga! She’s hotter than ever and always manages to change her look in interesting and creative ways. Whether attending an awards night or just in transport to an event, Gaga has been caught wearing the most unique items from wigs, hats and gowns to garments made of metals and plastics. Lady Gaga is certainly a style chameleon. In a recent issue of Allure magazine, we found an article called ‘Going Gaga’ in which she was asked, “[Do you have] any favorite hair products?” Lady Gaga answered, “I don’t use hair products. I wear wigs.” Gaga loves wigs, and Wigs.com wanted to reflect on a few of our favorites.

The many wigs of Gaga...

The wig that started all the buzz - the blonde bow!

Donate Wigs to American Cancer Society

Did you know that you can donate your gently used and never-worn wigs to the American Cancer Society?

Doing something great in your community can be as easy as sending off your old wigs. Wig donations make a big difference in the lives of women battling cancer and those in treatment. To be a part of this amazing philanthropic program, just visit the American Cancer Society here and enter your zip code in the box that says ‘Find ACS in Your Community’. From there, you will learn where to send those wigs you never wore, wore once, and wigs that look barely-used. You can do something big in the fight against cancer with ACS.

Wigs in Action
Recently in December 2009, the American Cancer Society bestowed their highest honor, the Corporate Impact Award to Raquel Welch and parent company Hair U Wear for their contribution of more than $1 million dollars worth of wigs. This huge donation of wigs is distributed to women fighting cancer to help them cope with the challenge of a lifetime. Raquel Welch wigs help women look good, improve their self-esteem, and handle their treatment and recovery with greater confidence.
