Wigs For Summer

Summer-Ready Styles: Explore the Collection

It’s getting hot out there! Explore our collection of the best lightweight wigs for summer below. Not sure what kinds of wigs you should wear in the summer? We recommend a short synthetic wig with a cap that is wefted in the back. With a short style, you’ll stay cooler since the fibers are not touching your neck or shoulders. Synthetic fibers are more lightweight compared to their human hair counterpart. Lastly, a wefted cap wig allows for air ventilation to the scalp, so you’ll feel the breeze when you need it.

Wigs For Summer FAQs

Can you wear a wig in the summer?

Yes, you can absolutely wear a wig in the summer! In order to wear a wig comfortably in the hotter months, here are some tips: 

  • Opt for synthetic wigs because the hair fibers are lightweight. 
  • Wear lighter hair colors because they reflect heat better than darker shades.
  • Look for low density wigs. 
  • Find wigs with open wefted caps. They allow air to flow to your scalp. 
  • Wear short wigs and hairstyles. 
  • If you have a sensitive scalp, use a wig liner, like Jon Renau’s Secure Softie. It’s made with bamboo viscose, which is very soft and breathable. 

What wigs are best for humid weather?

Synthetic wigs are great for humid weather! The fibers have “style memory,” so they retain their style, even if they get wet. Rain or shine, you will not have to worry about frizzy hair or your hairstyle falling down from the weather.

How do you maintain a wig in the summer?

  • Carry a wide tooth comb to brush and detangle your wig. 
  • Wash your wig every 6-8 wears. However, you should wash your wig more often if it appears or feels like it needs to be washed. 
  • Use shampoo and conditioner that is specially designed for your wig’s hair fiber type. (You will ruin your wig if you use the wrong formula on its fiber type.)
