Wig Types Perfect for Summer

Not every wig is apt for summer wear, with hot winds and sweat galore, there are only a select few that fulfill the criteria. Here are our picks for the wigs made for the summer.

Lace Closure Wigs

Frontal wigs may be too restrictive for the summer, while they may protect the hairline well, the comfort of closure wigs is unparalleled in hot environments. Low-maintenance wigs that are less complicated and require less effort overall are ideal.

Lace allows for breathability, and the closure covers the hairline only to the extent necessary to provide coverage while still allowing for ventilation. Moreover, it keeps the hair protected and reduces frizz caused by humidity.

Human Hair Wigs

After finding the right hair wig for you this summer, styling it can be the difference between what passes for the summer and what does not. Here are three top picks for summer hairstyles using your wig.

Bob Wigs

Hair bobs are always a good idea when the weather is hot and bothersome. Timeless and elegant, the hair bob can be styled in a variety of ways. Slightly longer bobs or ear-length bobs, as per your wish, keep your neck free of sweat and irritation.

Pro Tip: invest in a short hair wig instead of cutting a longer one, so you prevent a goof-up and have more options for the winter months.

Pixie Cuts

Short and sweet, pixie cuts are versatile, featuring minimal hair that allows for light wear and maximum ventilation. Stay cool and look cool with human hair wigs that can be cut to resemble a sharp pixie cut.

Pro Tip: Go crazy for the summer and dye your hair wig multiple colors, since human hair wigs take well to coloring as long as it's done correctly.

Braided and Updos

Tips for Wearing a Wig in Summer

Here are a few expert tips that will make your summer wig wear more comfortable and long-lasting.

Wear a wig cap before wearing your wig to prevent sweat seepage and other bacterial problems. Moreover, it ensures a more secure fit that is also comfortable.
To avoid sweating, using a lace cap is ideal, as it creates a layer between the environment and your scalp. Additionally, it dries quicker, helping to prevent wig damage.
When wearing a wig in the summer, protection from sun damage is essential; using hair sunscreen or a cap is recommended.
When taking your wig on vacation to the beach, be sure to wear a hat to protect it from the water and the sun. Wash it with regular water after your day to keep it clean and free of any buildup.
Make sure to wash your hair wig more regularly in the summer to keep it fresh, healthy-looking, and to extend its lifespan.
