Summer Wig Wearing Tips
In the summer, you will have to face a few challenges. The heat, the sweat, and the weight of the wig are all more noticeable and can make you quite uncomfortable. In spite of this, there are ways to avoid the heat without losing your own hair or wearing a damp wig in the heat.
1. Go Low-Density
The goal for many wig wearers is to have as much hair as possible. However, a high-density wig makes for less air circulation and more heat during the summer.
If you are looking to keep comfortable during the warmest part of the year, consider a layered bob that is low density and short. Choose a wig that has a density value of zero or less. The wig must cover your head in the way you want it to and where you want it to so that it doesn’t seem sparse nor looks natural.
2. Wear a Wig Cap
Wig caps can help you extend the life of your wig. They provide a protective barrier between your scalp and the wig, absorbing some of its moisture, so that you don’t have to wear a damp and uncomfortable wig. A bamboo wig cap may also offer a cooling effect and reduce perspiration. It may be the perfect solution for summer wig wearers.
3. Keep Your Hair Up
The hair on your body is hot, so make sure you style it into a flat bun before you put on your wig instead of wearing it down underneath it. When your bio hair is up, you allow more airflow at the nape of the neck. On a warm summer day, you’ll be more comfortable if you allow enough air to circulate.
4. Choose the Right Style
The most convenient way to style your hair is to have a ponytail, bun, or braid. If you’re not comfortable with a hand-tied wig, choose a short wig that you can easily put into a ponytail or bun. Wefted wigs allow more air to pass through and keep you cooler than hand-tied wigs. If you prefer hand-tied construction, consider a hybrid wig with one wefted area and one hand-tied area.
5. Monitor Sun Exposure
Sunlight can damage or shorten wig lifespans. Increasing the possibility of oxidation can result from too much sun exposure. Color correction may become more frequent or the hair’s coloring will dull. It’s totally okay to spend time in the sun, but you just need to be aware of peak UV times and how much sun exposure your wig is receiving.
In spite of the fact that summer is the summer, you can still wear a wig stylishly and comfortably. Here are a few suggestions on how to wear a wig in a summer that could revolutionize how you feel about the summer. Due to the nature of the human body and higher temperatures, it’s likely that you’ll have to wash your wigs more often, but at least you’ll have a pleasant experience.
