Old lady wig

The old lady wig is a short, grey-white women's wig with tight curls that sit around the head like a full, round granny hairstyle.

For Carnival or a themed party where you're dressing up as an elderly lady, grandma, or respectable neighbour, this old woman wig instantly gives you the age that suits your role. The style is made for adult women.

The granny hairstyle in detail

• The wig has a short style that falls halfway down the ears.
• The hair is light grey with a white glow, giving the curly mop a silvery appearance.
• Small, twisted curls sit close together and provide plenty of volume on top.
• At the front, a few locks curl over the forehead like a loose fringe.
• You receive the wig itself, without glasses or clothing.

Why do grandmas often wear such a short, curly hairstyle?

A short, curly hairstyle is part of the familiar image of grandma, because many older women used to go to the hairdresser every week for a perm or a set with curling pins. This resulted in exactly this kind of fixed, round shape that held its form all day. That's why almost everyone instantly recognises a grey curly mop as a granny look, even without further explanation. That recognisable silhouette makes this hairstyle a strong foundation for any elderly costume.

Glasses, pearls and makeup to complement the grey curly hair

Reading glasses with a thick frame, sitting low on your nose, instantly make the face under the grey-white curls look a few decades older. A pearl necklace or a pair of clip-on earrings complement the respectable look of the hairstyle. With a brown or grey makeup pencil, draw light wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, and a touch of rouge on the cheeks completes the grandma look.
