Festival season is in full swing, and with Covid-19 restrictions now pretty much non-existent, the UK festival scene is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet. If you’ve already bagged your tickets for this summer’s hottest festivals or outdoor gigs you’ll be eagerly counting down to show time!
Wearing a wig shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the very best of the festival scene, even if the great British weather doesn’t play ball. Here we share our top tips for getting (and keeping) your wig festival ready.
Festivals are notoriously dirty and muddy, in fact, that’s what makes them so fun! Embrace the festival spirit by leaving your best wig at home and wearing an old wig instead. With your old wig in place, you can experience another festival rite of passage – glitter roots.
We’ll let Elle explain more about how to rock this season’s most festival-worthy hair trend:
“It’s actually ridiculously easy to do, particularly if you’re after a fashionably haphazard result, which we are. Brush your hair into a middle parting, spray a little hairspray over the root section and sprinkle on any glitter of your choice – we opted for a chunkier shape than your average stuff for a more playful Ashish-esque look, rather than sparkly dandruff.”
Rainy weather goes hand-in-hand with UK festivals, but don’t let the forecast ruin those party vibes. Pack a poncho as part of your festival essentials. Most poncho designs are lightweight and handbag-friendly meaning you can whip it out and protect your wig from the rain in seconds.
Whether dancing in the rain or the summer sunshine, you want to rest safe in the knowledge that your wig is as secure as it can be. Being prepared with the right wig tape or adhesive is the key, and this may mean a lot of trial and error in the weeks leading up to the date of your festival. Here at Wigs4u, we make finding the highest quality, most secure wig tape or adhesive super simple. Explore our full range of tapes, adhesives and removers to find a product you can rely on during the festival season and beyond.
If you plan to camp in typical festival style, remember your tent is your own personal, private space. That means you can remove your wig discreetly and store it easily using our collapsible wig stand when you retire for the night.
Keep your scalp clean and warm by using baby wipes for a quick refresh and donning a woolly hat when temperatures take a dip at night.
Come morning, you can reattach your carefully stored wig and use a wig brush to leave it looking great for the day ahead. A spritz of shine control or wig hair spray will also prepare your wig for plenty more festival fun.
