A wig can be hot in the summer but may still be your preferred style.
Wearing a wig or other hair piece can be a great way to have the hair you’ve always dreamed of. However, if you aren’t used to wearing hair replacement pieces on a regular basis, it can be uncomfortable, at least at first. To help you wear your wig more comfortably, especially during the hot summer months, these tips should help.
Consider Synthetic
Many people who wear hair pieces prefer human or remy hair. While these wigs tend to look more natural, they are also thicker, which can make your hair replacement piece feel hot in the summer. For the hottest months of the year, consider using synthetic hair instead.
Choose Shorter Styles
Wigs are available in a wide variety of styles. Some people may choose long styles for a number of reasons, but these hair pieces are also much hotter. When you are looking for a cooler option, there are plenty of cute short styles to choose from.
Wash It Regularly
Washing hair replacement pieces on a daily basis isn’t often necessary. In fact, washing them too much can cause damage and excess wear and tear. However, during the summer months, it is better to wash your hair pieces more often to remove excess oils and sweat caused by the rising temperatures.
Avoid Direct Heat
If you are spending a lot of time outside this summer, it may be difficult to avoid direct sunlight, which can cause damage to wigs. Wearing a hat or a scarf can make a major difference in your comfort level while wearing one of these hair pieces. In addition, don’t store your hair replacement pieces where they will be exposed to excessive heat, such as near a window or in your car.
Try Stretch Cap Wigs
Traditional caps on wigs are often made from material that doesn’t breathe well. This means you could easily overheat during the hottest months of the year. For these situations, having a wig with a stretch cap that features built-in ventilation can help you feel cooler and more comfortable without giving up your favorite hair pieces.
Braid Longer Hair
Whether you only have long hair pieces or you just prefer longer hair, braiding your wig can be the ideal option for staying comfortable this summer. Ponytails don’t often work well for wigs because they can create an unnatural look. Braids look more natural, allowing you to control your longer hair and keep cool.
Try a New Color
Dark hair replacement pieces may be your typical style, but summer is a great time to try something new. Consider buying hair pieces in lighter shades to wear when the weather is hot. The lighter colors won’t absorb the heat of the sun and can create a fun new look.
Wearing a wig is a great way to change your look. However, when it comes to wigs during the summer months, they can be hot. Consider these tips to help keep you more cool and comfortable in your hair pieces.
