Many people opt to wear wigs during the summer months for their fashion versatility and cost-effectiveness compared to regular salon visits. However, wearing wigs in hot weather can lead to discomfort. This article provides useful tips for managing wigs during summer.
Take Breaks from Wearing
Wearing wigs increases heat around your head. It’s beneficial to remove the wig when at home to allow your scalp to cool down.
Managing Heat
While wigs can handle typical summer temperatures, exposure to high heat, such as over 180 degrees Fahrenheit, can damage them permanently. Avoid wearing your wig near intense light sources or while cooking.
Rain Protection
Summer showers can still occur, posing a risk of frizzing and damage to your wig if it gets wet. Use head scarves, umbrellas, or hats to shield your wig from raindrops. Wind can also disrupt the wig’s style, so wearing a hat or headscarf can prevent tangling and maintain your desired look.
