Women's red and black harlequin wig with hair extensions

The women's harlequin wig is a shoulder-length wig with a straight fringe divided into red and black halves, with two loose ponytails that you attach with clips. The red-and-black contrast runs exactly down the middle of the head, making the two-tone harlequin look instantly recognisable. Women wear this wig for Halloween, circus or clown parties, themed parties or carnivals.

What does the women's harlequin wig look like?

• The wig falls in loose waves to about shoulder length and has a straight fringe across the hairline.
• The left half is black and the right half is red, with a sharp dividing line in the middle.
• You get two loose hair extensions in the same red and black colours, each with a wide clip at the top.
• The wig and extensions are made of 100% polypropylene, a synthetic fibre that holds its shape without the need for styling.
• According to the washing instructions, you must not wash, bleach, iron, tumble dry or dry clean the wig.

The harlequin in two colours

The harlequin comes from the Italian commedia dell'arte, where he is the joker with a diamond pattern in contrasting colours. This left-right division was later adopted by the evil or sinister clown figures you see at Halloween, where red and black form the menacing version of cheerful circus red. Because the red and black are on the hair itself with this wig, you can recognise the theme without needing a diamond-patterned costume. If you want to emphasise the friendly side, wear the wig with the loose ponytails clipped up.

How to create the harlequin look

With the ponytails high on either side, you get a playful look; without them, you have a wavy style with a fringe that suits a tighter horror clown look. Combine the wig with a red-and-black diamond-patterned costume, a dress or jumpsuit in the same colours, and a large bow or collar with a pom-pom at the neck. Face paint in red and blue around the eyes and dark lipstick complete the harlequin look, while black boots or tall lace-up boots tie the look together.
