wiglike

Like false hair

Resembling a wig in appearance or texture—typically suggesting something artificial, overly styled, or sitting oddly atop the head: His hair had a wiglike quality that made people wonder if it was real.

The term usually carries a note of criticism, implying that natural hair looks fake or that something appears unconvincingly placed.
