Tab is a short, precision-cut crop from Ellen Wille's Perucci Collection, and it is the best option here for women who like a modern short haircut. The crown is monofilament, so the hair is hand-knotted where it parts and moves like natural growth, and a hand-knotted lace front lets you swoop it back. Comfort details are well documented: flexible wire ear tabs lined with velvet, and smooth adjustable straps that move up to half an inch either way. The customer-favorite shades listed include Salt/Pepper Rooted, Silver Mix and Champagne Rooted, which suit women moving to gray. Tab had 313 reviews with 85% recommending it, and it cost $252.00 during the Wigs.com sale. The main limit is fit: it comes in one petite to average size of about 21.5 inches, so women with larger heads should look at Upstage or Ignite.
