Keeping It Cool: Wigs for Warm Weather

The calendar tells us warm weather is around the corner. When the temperature does start to climb, some wig-wearers prefer to transition to summer-friendly pieces. Certain wigs are just more comfortable in the heat. Read this guide to pick the best summer wig for you.

Go Short

Even if you love long hairstyles, to stay cool in the summer, you need to choose shorter hairstyles. Short bob wigs are the best options. If you need more length, then at least keep it above the shoulders. Keeping hair off your neck is the key to keeping the sweat at bay. 

Go Synthetic

Synthetic fans, you are all set! Synthetic wigs are lightweight compared to human hair wigs, meaning they are the better summer choice.

Human hair is denser and heavier than synthetic. Human hair has its benefits, like a natural look and styling versatility, but it won’t help you in a heatwave.

Go Basic

Basic isn’t  bad! With wigs, a basic wig cap, or a capless wig, provides more ventilation than other cap options. It’s all in the construction. These caps are created by sewing wefts, or sections of hair, into thin elastic material. Wefted wigs are just more breathable.

Try Accessories

Wigs aren’t the only tools in your arsenal. There are other accessories that can help you keep cool while maintaining your preferred look. Accessories like headbands and clips are great for keeping the hair out of your face. If you still go with long tresses, pull it into a low ponytail.

If it’s just too hot for an entire wig, you can opt for something else. Hair additions can be worn under hats to add volume to thinning biological hair.

Remember, to keep it cool, keep it short! This cropped style has short layers that give you styling versatility, but check out that cap - it is constructed with open wefting to allow for ventilation.
