Wigs are a fantastic way to change up your look, boost your confidence, and save time on styling. However, how you wear and care for your wig can vary depending on the season. Whether you're facing the sweltering heat of summer or the harsh cold of winter, it’s essential to adjust your wig-wearing routine to keep both your wig and your scalp in top condition. At Reshine Hair, we’re here to help you navigate wearing wigs throughout the year with tips for every season!
Summer: Keep Cool and Comfortable
1. Opt for Breathable Styles
Summer heat can make wearing a wig feel uncomfortable if you’re not careful. To stay cool, choose wigs made from lightweight materials that allow your scalp to breathe. Lace front wigs are an excellent choice because the lace material allows for airflow and gives you a natural-looking hairline. Additionally, human hair wigs are breathable and mimic the texture and feel of your own natural hair, making them a great option for hot weather.
2. Keep Your Wig Clean and Fresh
The summer sun can leave your wig feeling greasy or sweaty, especially if you wear it all day. It’s important to wash your wig regularly to remove buildup from sweat, sunscreen, and environmental pollutants. For synthetic wigs, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions, as synthetic fibers require different care than human hair. For human hair wigs, a gentle shampoo and conditioner can help keep your wig feeling fresh and soft.
3. Protect Your Scalp from Sun Exposure
The scalp is just as important as the wig itself when it comes to summer care. Wearing a wig can sometimes trap heat, which may lead to sweat and irritation. Be sure to give your scalp a break when possible, allowing it to breathe. You can also use a scalp protector or light scarf under your wig to prevent direct sun exposure, or opt for a wig with a wide brim for extra protection.

Winter: Keep Warm and Cozy
1. Protective Styling
Winter weather can be harsh on both your natural hair and your wig. Cold temperatures, dry air, and indoor heating can strip moisture from your hair, causing it to become brittle. Wigs offer a great protective style, keeping your natural hair covered and safe from the cold. For extra protection, try a satin or silk-lined cap under your wig to lock in moisture and prevent frizz.
2. Moisturize Your Scalp
Cold weather can cause your scalp to become dry and flaky, so it’s essential to keep your scalp hydrated. Use a lightweight scalp oil or leave-in conditioner to maintain moisture without weighing down your wig. Make sure to massage your scalp gently to improve circulation, which will promote healthy hair growth.
3. Choose Heavier, Cozy Wigs
During the winter, you might want to opt for wigs that are thicker or have more volume, providing extra warmth. You can go for a longer style or one with layers to create a cozy, full look. Keep in mind that human hair wigs can also be styled to suit the season, whether you want to wear them sleek and straight or full and voluminous.

Year-Round Scalp Health: Keep Your Hair Healthy Every Season
1. Regular Scalp Cleansing
A clean scalp is the foundation for healthy hair, so make sure to cleanse your scalp regularly. Whether it’s summer or winter, use a gentle shampoo designed for your hair type and wig material. Don’t forget to remove any product buildup on your wig as well, as this can affect both the wig's appearance and your scalp's health.
2. Avoid Overheating
Although wigs can help protect your hair, overheating can still occur. Avoid wearing your wig for too long in hot weather, and allow your scalp to breathe. If you feel warm, take a break and remove your wig for a few minutes to allow your scalp to cool down.
3. Condition Your Natural Hair
Even if you're wearing a wig most of the time, it’s essential to care for your natural hair. Use leave-in conditioners, oils, or moisturizing treatments to keep your hair underneath your wig healthy and nourished. Remember, the healthier your natural hair, the better your wig will sit and the longer it will last.
