Coco is the least expensive way into a name-brand wig in this list, at $104.30 during the Wigs.com sale. René of Paris, another Aderans Hair Goods brand, describes it as a wispy textured short wig with a charming, classic look, a flattering face-framing fringe and tousled layers throughout. The traditional cap has open sides and back, which Wigs.com says gives a cool and comfortable fit, useful for hot flashes or warm climates. Gray shades are offered, and 253 reviewers have rated it. Coco is a good spare wig or a first wig for a woman who is not yet sure she will wear one every day. The limits are the ones you expect at this price: one average cap size, no lace front and no monofilament top, so the fringe has to stay forward and the crown will not look like scalp if you part it.
