TIP #1: Choose a Synthetic Wig

Human hair wigs are great in cool weather, but you might want to transition to synthetic in summer.

There are several reasons that you should switch to a synthetic wig:

  • Synthetic wig comes with style memory, meaning they won't get sweaty or frizzy in heat and humidity like human hair wigs.
  • It will not fade or change its color in the sun as easily as human hair.

TIP #2: Go for Short Hairstyles

Short wigs are a terrific option for the summer months. Whether you choose a pixie cut, a shaggy style, or a bob, they can be a trendy do especially for warmer seasons. Short wigs have less hair that means less weight, therefore you will be cooler with it. With hair off the neck, they will make your body temperature drop by about five degrees.

TIP #3: Pick a Lighter Hair Color

We all know that wearing dark in summer will soaks up a ton of heat that cause you sweat quickly, and some people start wearing white because lighter colors don’t soak up the heat in the same way that darker colors do.

The same goes for wigs. Lighter colored wigs absorb less heat and therefore stay cooler during the summer.

TIP #4: Embrace Updos or Braids

It may be hard for you to choose the summer hairstyles between updos and braid. Pulling all your hair up off your neck and back can help you stay cool because it takes the weight off your neck.

Braids look natural and allow you to control too much hair and keep cool.

TIP #5: Opt for a Lace Wig

Choosing a wig that allows your scalp to breathe is very important. Using lightweight and breathable lace to make sure that there is airflow inside the wig, lace wig is a awesome option for those who sweat often.
