Your Guide to Gardening with Wigs

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that allows you to spend time outdoors, nurturing plants and witnessing the “fruits” of your labor. However, navigating this fun activity while wearing a wig can present its own unique set of challenges. Never fear! This guide is here to offer you valuable tips and insights on gardening with wigs.

Tips For Wearing a Wig While Gardening

1. Short Wigs - When you’re playing around in the dirt, you may get your wig dirty, especially if it has longer hair. Wearing shorter styles will help keep your wig clean. Plus, it’ll also help keep your head cooler, too.

2. Secure Your Hair - Long-haired wigs are glamorous but may not always be optimal when gardening, especially if you like to wear gloves. It may be difficult to “wrangle” the hair or push it out of your face. Therefore, be sure to clip or tie up the hair to protect it.

3. Synthetic Wigs - Synthetic wigs are a great choice if you’re going to spend time outdoors. Is the weather hot and humid? That’s not a problem with synthetic wigs. The hair fibers are lightweight and have “style memory,” meaning they maintain their style without frizzing or falling.

4. Cap Construction - Wigs come in different cap options to match your level of comfort while you’re outside. For more breathable wigs, check out styles with open wefted caps. For more comfort, explore styles made with hand tied caps and double monofilament tops.

5. Gardening Wig - Use a separate wig for gardening. When people go to the beach or work out at the gym, they often wear a wig they don’t mind getting dirty or tousled. Therefore, you can keep your favorite hairstyles safe.

6. Wash Your Wig - While we recommend washing your wig every six to eight wears, you should wash your wig more frequently, especially if you have been sweating. Make sure to use a good shampoo and leave-in conditioner that is specially formulated for your wig’s fiber type.

7. Hats & Headcovers - If you find wearing a wig too uncomfortable, opt for wearing a hat or headcover. Protecting your scalp is crucial, especially during the warmer months.

Protect Yourself While Gardening

Gardening with wigs is not just limited to protecting your hair. You should also protect your head from the sun. If opting for a shorter hairstyle or embracing your bald head while gardening, make sure you apply lots of sunscreen, especially during the summer months.

If you want to wear sunglasses with your wig, you can tuck the “arms” of the glasses underneath the ear tabs or thread them through the wefts inside the wig cap (if your particular style has them).

We wanted to end with a gardening tip. When it’s really hot outside, try gardening early in the morning or the evening. Not only will it be cooler for the wig, but it will be better for the plants. Plants will absorb the water better in the cooler parts of the day rather than in the hottest.
