HOW TO BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT IN A WIG

1. Synthetic wigs over Human Hair Wigs:

When it comes to wearing synthetic wigs or human hair wigs, synthetic wins during the summer months.  Human hair wigs are heavier an often much thicker than a synthetic wig

2. Shorter wigs  vs Longer wigs:

The quickest way to beat the heat is loose the extra weight of long hair for a short trending hairstyle.  Check out some of these best selling short synthetic wig styles. From classic cuts to the latest edgy short hairstyles.

3. Create an updo or braid your long hairstyle

And if short is out of the question, no worries. Just get creative and create an updo, or a braid with your long wigs.  The key is to keep the hair up off your neck.

5. Choose a higher quality Cap Construction:

The higher quality cap construction wigs use less material, are lightweight and typically more natural looking.  Look for these cap features in a wig...

• Lace Front Wigs
• Monofilament Top Wigs
• 100% Hand tied Wigs

6. Wash & Keep Fibers Conditioned:

The heat can take a toll on the fibers, so wash as needed (7-10 wears) and be sure to use a wig conditioner or a wig detangler to protect your synthetic fibers during the summer heat. 

7. Hydrate- This is my reminder since I never drink enough water =-(, but also for all my wig wearers during the summer heat.
