Summer Wig Tips

As the streets heat up and the humidity kicks in, putting on your wig may seem like the last thing you want to do in the summer. While synthetic wigs stand up well in humidity and won’t frizz, human hair wigs will react to weather and there are other summer quirks to consider. To truly enjoy your summer and help you have a good hair day every day, read on for Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique summer wig tips.

Go Summer Synthetic or Short

Even if your go-to wig is a beautiful human hair piece, consider a synthetic alternative for the steamy summer months. As we just noted, human hair wigs will react to changes in temperature and humidity, whereas a synthetic wig will look great all the time. Synthetic wigs also need less maintenance, so you could get a short wig and just “shake and go” to the beach, a romantic dinner or a night out dancing. And if you are committed to human hair wigs, consider a shorter style like a bob.

It’s also important to remember that wigs do not do well in direct sunlight and heat. Never leave your wig in a hot car or by a window. A hat or scarf can help your comfort level as well as keep your wig from fading. And with excessive heat and sweating, you will likely need to wash your wig a little more often. Be careful not to wash it too much as you can damage the wig, but you do want to keep sweat and oils from building up.
