Coco is the lowest priced salon brand wig in this list and a sensible first short wig on a budget. Rene of Paris places it in its Hi-Fashion Collection and describes a short, straight, ready-to-wear style with charming textures. Wigs.com calls it wispy and textured with a face-framing fringe and tousled layers. The maker lists a 4 inch fringe, 5 inch crown and 2 inch nape at 2.5 oz. The cap is machine made with open sides and back and adjustable tabs at the nape, so it runs cool and light, but there is no lace front or monofilament area, and the part and hairline look like a traditional wig up close. It comes in an average cap only and 24 shades, including Silver Stone. The fiber is standard synthetic, so the cut holds after washing but heat tools are out. Wigs.com sold it from $104.30 with a sitewide discount and listed 253 reviews.
