Chrissy Teigen, Emily Ratajkowski, Lady Gaga and more celebs have turned to faux strands to experiment with audacious colors, lengths and styles.

While wigs were once deemed taboo, these A-list stars made the hair pieces not only acceptable, but trendy too. "It's so liberating that wearing a wig isn’t as secretive as it was before," celebrity hairstylist Angela Meadows explained.
