Before the onset of what we see today, there were times when wigs were seen as big things. They were worn primarily for health reasons (alopecia).

Today, the ‘Big-screen’ industries see the greatest number of wigs and hairpieces on their celebrities in work mode, recording sessions, and offline mode.

Indeed, times have changed!

Interestingly, each has a unique reason for wearing a wig. The primary reason they opt for assorted wig types is to stay at the forefront of the beauty industry. 

Because what’s style and beauty today without a well-placed wig on the head?

We are crafting this magnum opus to introduce our black women to the cadre of celebrities who wear wigs almost every day to look good in their professional and private spaces.

The 7 Popular Celebrities Who Wear Wigs 

When it comes to rocking wigs and changing styles, this section will give you the A-listers that you can emulate.

When picking a model and an icon to look up to from the list below, ensure that the wigs match your personality and sit well with you.

Also, consider your budget when choosing between human hair wigs, blended human hair wigs, and synthetic wigs.

Let’s begin!

1. Katy Perry 

Katy Perry who we know professionally as a best-selling singer, and songwriter is taking the wig industry by force with her iconic style of wig and color. 

However, she often uses lace front wigs (natural blonde to platinum blonde) for her performances to create a signature statement look for her fans. 

Back in the time when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she became more popular with her new hairstyle. 

She’s known to be one of the few celebrities who still slays without wigs (in pride). A proud mother of the beautiful 4-year-old Daisy Dove.

2. Emilia Clarke

Guess the show Emilia Clarke’s wig is famous for? Game of Thrones

This show brought the stylish Emilia Clarke’s sui generis long blonde wig to light, as she played the role of Daenerys.

The 360 wig which costs about 5,000 – 8,000 bucks remains one of the monumental masterpieces we’ve seen on TV.

Although her natural hair color is brown, she’s able to blend in the wig so perfectly that people still wonder if she wore a wig as the mother of dragons.

3. Naomi Campbell 

Naomi Campbell, who is regarded as the first black woman to model for magazines like TIME, Vogue French, and Russian Vogue, wears wigs primarily for health reasons (hair thinning). 

Blogs have it that the hair issues could partly be due to the overuse of styling products and extensions.

Nonetheless, Naomi Campbell remains one of the Black supermodels who, despite this, picked up a lace front wig (mostly straight) and over time interchanged it with blended human hair wigs.

The ‘traction alopecia’ is not noticeable to date because of the commitment she made to self-care and hair care, thereby preventing damage to her natural hair.

4. Kim Kardashian 

Kim Kardashian – the American socialite, is known for long beautiful naturally perfect fluffy hair. Some viewers get confused as to whether it is their natural hair. 

Due to the popularity of the show in the beauty industry, Kim changes her wigs in a few days. The highest length she wears is 30 inches.

To her, every time is the perfect time to look good in her long center-parted lace wigs and represent her brand and shows (Keeping Up with the Kardashians).

On alternate days, she storms out in full lace wigs, bob wigs, braided wigs, and even curly wigs.

5. Tyra Banks

The popular Rema’s hit song lyrics ‘My Girl Fine Like Tyra Banks’ show how beautiful Tyra Bank (BanX) looks on every wig she uses.

As a TV host, stellar actress, and supermodel, she has become a legend, a trendsetter, and a role model for young ladies who are delving into fashion.

At some point, she had noticeable hair loss due to stress and the workload. 

Regardless, she has chosen to use quality wigs for most of the interviews and TV shows we now see. 

Some of the wigs she’s known for include a lace front human hair wig, a straight glueless lace wig, a short curly wig, a fringe wig, and a wavy lace wig.

6. Cardi B

As a hair chameleon, her bold color choices of wigs have made her a living, breathing, walking legend. 

Belcalis Marlenis Cephus is one of the best female rappers who has held a lot of titles since 2010.

‘Cardi B – The queen of styles’ as she’s mostly called is somewhat tied to the fact that her taste in wigs and fashion is mind-blowing.

From creating a bow and a heart shape with her wig to using very bright colors that leave her audience staring and in awe.

There is always something new to see with Cardi B as her lace wig color choices often range from blue, yellow, red, green, purple, pink, and every other color you could think of.

7. Rihanna Fenty

Did you know that Rihanna’s Fenty Brand is named after her Surname?

The Robyn best-selling Barbadian singer and business tycoon takes each of her performances and stage work seriously by investing in quality wigs that make her look super-fly and comfortable.

Her lace wigs, hair extensions, and weaves have a unique look per session, spanning perfectly across hair from front to back. 

From what we see on social media, Rihanna has an affinity for short bob human hair wigs and pixie cuts.

On other days she goes all out on her tight curly wigs packed into a ponytail. These put her ahead of other stylists and celebrities.
