shaitel styles for a widows peak

My current shaitel has layered side bangs (see avatar), because otherwise my massive widow's peak would show in front, which would look bizarre.

I'd like to get something with a more simple, one-length, center or side part, straight style. I'm thinking the only way I could make this work would be to have electrolysis on my widows peak, which seems pretty drastic.

Any ideas on how to do this without the painful electrolysis? All the shaitels I've been looking at online don't have a low enough hairline to cover my peak.

I had electrolysis done.
its not that drastic, I did it on the sides also.
I had it done when I was in high school, so it was a long while ago.
try hat fall and wear it with silk scarves I do that all week its so comfy cuz my hat fall has no clips.

I've heard of a lot of girls getting laser hair removal done.

But if you have a band fall and show a little hair in the front, then it might look weird while you are doing it. But if you don't show, then it won't matter. I could never have it done because I show my widows peak in front of my band.

My sheitle is the same length all around, the way I hide my widow's peak is by having the sheitel parted on the side and pulling the hair across over the widows peak and then usually tucked behind my ear so that it deosn't get in my face. sometimes I put a small pin. Another way that looks really cute with a fall (if you show some hair) is to take out the front hairs and pull it over the front of the fall and hold it in place with a clip, you can see the widow's peak but it looks very natural.

I also have a widow's peak. Not huge, but enough to make problems. It's better since I made my sheitels into and off-centre part rather than middle.

I wish I'd had laser before I got married b/c I looked into it now and it's worthless to do it while hormones are changing. So.... I'm gonna havta wait a few years. By then, I may just have gone bald! Wink

a widow's peak is where the hairline on the forehead dips slightly in the middle.

you know that point in the middle of your forehead like the "munsters" mom or a "vampire"
Aren't bangs the best solution - or layers (longer bangs)

I think I'll try some on with side parts and see if that covers it up when I tuck the hair behind my ears, thanks for the advice!

Ah though that is'nt my problem , I have a differnt one I have a very low hairline at the back of my head/neck so unless I wear something long it is almost next to impossible to cover. One of the main reasons my own hair is pony tail length, way easier to cover Confused

I have a really low forehead, my hairline is ‘in my nose’ in addition to that, I have a small widow’s peak. I’ve had enough and I’m saving $$ to do laser (about $150 for 15 minutes) and I’m saving enough for about 10 times I want to move my hairline up and be able to wear a shaitel out of my face once and for all. I don’t think electrolysis is permanent (only if you do it a thousand times) and why go through all that pain…it ends up being the same money anyway.

Doesn't it look bizarre to "laser off" a major part of your hairline? I would think that someone would look partially bald after doing that - like a middle-aged man with a receding hairline. It wouldn't matter for when you are covering your hair, but at home for your husband you'd look like a creature from Star Trek or something.
