Stay Cool Wearing Half Wigs

By Anna LeePublished 6 months ago 3 min read

Last summer, when I participated in a music festival, I wore a human hair half wig and was exposed to the scorching sun for almost two hours. As a result, my scalp felt a little uncomfortable, due to I sweat a lot, which made me feel embarrassed. Since then, I have been exploring how to stay cool wearing half wigs in hot weather. After many attempts, I have finally come up with several tips that can create beautiful hairstyles without feeling stuffy! If you also have the same problem, come and take a look at these tips!

Choosing the lightweight, breathable half wig

Breathable mesh cap is key

If the cap of a half wig is made of thick material, it can easily cause poor air circulation. Later on, I bought a half wig with a lightweight mesh cap, which was more breathable. This half wig is a human hair kinky curly wig. I remember once shopping at a high temperature of 35 ℃, wearing it for more than three hours, and still feeling breathable. The fine breathable holes inside this mesh cap can quickly evaporate sweat and keep the scalp dry.

Preferred human hair half wigs

Human hair has a good texture and will make you cooler in hot weather. High-quality human hair materials have good heat dissipation. I have many human hair half wigs, which are lightweight and breathable, and feels almost no burden when worn on my head.

Adjust the wearing method to enhance breathability and comfort

Leave more natural hair and scalp out

Don't cover a large part of your head. The more natural hair and scalp you leave out, the more breathable you will feel! So when you wear a half wig in hot weather, you can choose hairstyles that allow you can leave more natural hair and scalp out. In this way, even if you wear a half wig for a long time, you won't feel stuffy. This is also suitable for v part wigs.

Avoid excessive tension

Many people are worried that if the wig slips off, they may tighten the drawstring or clip too tightly, which will make them feel stuffy. The right way is to adjust the wig to a snug fit, not too tight on the scalp.

Daily care tips to stay fresh all day long

1. Clean up in a timely manner to remove sweat and other dirty stuff.

In hot weather you will sweat more, so your half wigs need to be cleaned more frequently. For me, I usually clean my human hair half wigs once every 3-5 wears in summer. The cleaned half wig is not only clean and refreshing, but also reduces irritation risk.

2. Cleverly use cool small items to assist

Before going out, you can spray some cool effect spray between the scalp and wig to bring a sense of coolness. I often use this method on hot days. After a long time wearing, my scalp felt clear and cool, and the experience was fantastic.
