The hot and humid environment in summer places higher demands on the selection of wigs. A wig suitable for summer should not only be beautiful, but also breathable, comfortable, and easy to manage. The following are several types of wigs that are most suitable for summer and the key points for purchasing, to help you stay cool and fashionable in the hot summer.
1. Lightweight and breathable short wigs
Recommendation reasons
Short design: The length is above the shoulder and neck (such as bob head, Pixie short hair), which reduces the contact area between the hair and the neck and reduces the feeling of stuffiness.
Breathable inner net + a real glueless installation: The hollow mesh inner net or silicone air hole design is used to accelerate air circulation and avoid long-term sweating on the scalp. Glueless installation make the wigs wear and go wigs, which is very friendly to wig beginners.
Natural material: Choose a mixed material of chemical fiber high-temperature silk or real human hair. Chemical fiber material is lighter and less prone to deformation, while real human hair is more suitable for natural hair (suitable for people with high texture requirements).
Style Matching:
Refreshing short wigs are suitable for daily commuting or outdoor activities. They can be paired with simple T-shirts and shorts to create a neat and energetic feeling.
Highlighting light-colored short hair (such as light gold and silver gray) can brighten the skin tone and increase summer vitality. They are suitable for music festivals, beaches and other scenes.
Recommendation reasons
Partial coverage: only cover the top of the head or part of the area, retain the natural hair on the sides and back, reduce the overall hair burden, and significantly improve breathability.
Flexible and versatile: can be mixed with natural hair, such as adding a half wig on the basis of long hair to increase the hair volume or change the top curl, and the style can be changed without wearing the whole head.
Material advantages: give priority to human hair half wigs, which can be permed and dyed and have a natural texture. It is more convenient to wash after sweating in summer (local cleaning is sufficient).
Classic style
U-shaped half wig: fixed with invisible clips, suitable for increasing the volume of the top of the head and creating a high skull effect;
Headband-style half wig: no need for complicated fixing, with colorful headband decoration, lazy-friendly and full of casual feeling.
3. Curly wig
Recommendation reason
Fluffy curls: loose curls such as big waves and water ripples can reduce the probability of hair sticking to the scalp and increase air circulation space.
Quick-drying properties: The three-dimensional structure of curly hair is not easy to absorb moisture, and it can dry faster even after sweating, avoiding long-term moisture causing odor or scalp problems.
Styling advantages: Curly hair has a lazy feeling and does not need frequent care. It is suitable for the "no-wash" demand in summer. Paired with a dress or camisole, it can easily create a French holiday style.
Material selection:
Preferably use synthetic curly wigs with good memory, which have a long-lasting shaping effect and can restore the curl after being exposed to water and dried;
Real human hair curly wigs need to be regularly cared for with elastin to maintain the elasticity of the curls.
4. Colored wigs
Recommendation reasons
Visual cooling: Light-colored or cool-toned wigs (such as mint green, ice blue, and light pink) have a cool feeling and break the dullness of summer;
Partial embellishment: Highlighted wigs (such as a few strands of light-colored hair on the top of the head) or gradient wigs (deep roots and light ends) do not need to be worn on the whole head, reducing weight while adding highlights to the shape.
Convenient replacement: You can choose clip-in clip-on colored wigs, which can be removed at any time to meet the individual needs of different occasions.
Precautions
It is recommended to choose synthetic materials for colored wigs, which have high color saturation and are not easy to fade;
Avoid choosing too heavy full-head colored wigs, and give priority to light and thin styles or partial highlights.
Special considerations for wig purchase in summer
1. Choose breathable materials first
Inner net material: Choose cotton or silicone breathable inner net to avoid hot and stuffy materials with a strong plastic feel;
Hair material: Real human hair is preferred in summer, which is about 30% lighter than synthetic hair
2. Size adaptation is critical
Measure the head circumference and choose the right size to avoid too tight to cause poor blood circulation in the scalp, and too loose to easily shift and rub.
3. Cleaning and maintenance
-It is recommended to wash the wig every 2-3 days in summer, using a mild wig-specific cleaning agent to avoid alkaline substances damaging the hair;
- Avoid direct sunlight when drying to prevent the hair from becoming brittle and fading. It can be laid flat in a cool place to dry naturally.
Summer Wig Avoidance Guide
Avoid heavy long straight hair: Long straight hair close to the scalp is easy to absorb heat, and the hair sticks together after sweating, increasing the feeling of stuffiness;
Choose a full-cover lace wig carefully: Although the lace material is breathable, the full-head covering design is still heavy in summer, unless you choose ultra-thin lace + air vent design;
Use less glue to fix the style: Summer sweat will accelerate the failure of glue, and frequent glue filling can easily irritate the scalp. Prefer wigs fixed with clips or Velcro.
