Wig 101 – How to Stay Cool with your Wig during Summer

Lots of ladies experiencing hair loss problem feel reluctant to wearing wigs during the summer months, due to the moist and humid weather. So we would like to share some good tips here to help you keep as cool in the summer months as possible, while still rocking the best wigs and looking fabulous and confident!

Tip #1: Select the Wigs made of Synthetic Fiber
We recommend trying a wig made from synthetic fiber during the summer months. The Synthetic fiber is lightweight and will reduce the weight of the wig, which will make your head more comfortable and cooler. Synthetic fibers are more resistant to fading or changing colors in the sun. Another thing to mention is that synthetic wigs can withstand the hot and humid weather and retain their style. So they won’t become frizzy and hard to manage in the humid environment like the human hair wigs.

Tip #2: Go for Short Styles
It is a wise move to rock a shorter length wig during summer. This is a great way to keep the heavy hair off your neck and allows you to feel the breeze. Long hair that covers the nape of your neck and your back will prevent air circulation.
For those long-length-wig-lovers, doing more up-do hairstyles will help you to stay cool. Braiding the wig hair to the side, a ponytail or a bun will help air circulation.

Tip #3: Wear a wig liner cap
A wig cap, creating a barrier between your hair and the wig, can absorb sweat as well as prevent any skin irritation from happening due to the sweat. Select a wig cap made of stretchy bamboo, because its eco-friendly fabric is naturally porous, which means it can absorb moisture better than any other fabrics and dries quickly.
Tip #4: Choose the light-colored wigs
Unfortunately, darker colors will soak up a substantial amount of heat. The darker the wig, the more heat will get retained and the hotter you will feel. Therefore, you can choose a wig that is a few shades lighter than you usually go for, which will make a huge difference in the sun. Trust me, your body will thank you for it!
