Daily wear, friction, tension and dryness are all factors that can rub your wig up the wrong way to leave it looking and feeling frizzy, matted and dishevelled.
When summer comes, the increased humidity that the season is known for and excessive sweating can send a human hair wig, in particular, one of two ways. It’ll either lose its shape and style or go frizzy just like your natural hair would.
With summer almost upon us, we thought we’d dedicate this blog post to solving your summer frizz problems once and for all!
Choose a wig-friendly hairspray
When controlling summer frizz, your first port of call should be your hair care products. The importance of using styling products that are specifically formulated for wigs shouldn’t be underestimated, especially when choosing a hairspray that’ll keep those tresses under control as Stylecraze explains:
“While buying a wig is only the first step, using the best hairspray for wigs is the next step to tame and set your mane. If you did not know already, regular hairsprays would never work on wigs as they require a more potent and effective formulation. Moreover, normal ones will only end up damaging the strands of the wigs, so it’s best to go for ones that are water-soluble and safe for your fave wig.”
Up your wig-washing routine
Your wig needs more care and attention come the summer months. With many wig wearers relying on the product (including that wig-friendly hairspray we mentioned earlier) to tame summer frizz, stepping up your wig washing routine is vital to keeping your wig in tip-top condition and preventing the build-up that can leave your wig dry and brittle.
Refresh daily with conditioning
Investing in a conditioning treatment that you can use every day – like our Revive Conditioning Spray – will ensure frizz can be tamed without excessive washing. For the best results, we recommend using the spray with our cleansing shampoo for the ultimate summer refresh during every wash.
Allow the wig to air dry to minimise frizz, and ensure a beautifully styled look that’s sleek and summer ready.
Protect your wig from the sun
Your wig needs just as much protection from the sun as your skin. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight can damage wig fibres beyond repair as well as make it more prone to frizz.
To safeguard your wig from damaging UVA and UVB rays, and effectively preserve your style, colour and wig texture, add an extra layer of protection by donning a hat or headscarf if you plan to spend the day outdoors. When your wig isn’t in use, store it on a stand in a cool, dry place. You can find more wig storage tips right here.
You can also protect your wig from UV damage with a spritz of our UV Shine Spray.
Choose one of these stylish updos
Letting your wig hang free isn’t your only option. In fact, experimenting with one of these top wig-friendly updos is a great way to minimise frizz, embrace your summer style, and keep your cool even as temperatures climb.
Wigs are more versatile than many people think, with the high-quality wigs we specialise in supplying at Wigs4u providing the base you need to enjoy a number of low-maintenance styles.
