Summer has arrived!

Warm weather is upon us  and so is the heat. Wearing a wig during the summer can be warm on the scalp. It helps to wear a wig with a lace base which allows more airflow to the scalp. If your scalp becomes itchy or has a rash, that may be due to the heat and dust that increases during the hot summer months. It is important to continue great care for your wig. Regular shampooing and conditioning helps to remove dirt, dust, and sweat from the base of the scalp at the roots.

Here are a few tips to keep you feeling comfortable all summer long:

• ​Put cornstarch or baby powder on your scalp to help absorb sweat and feeling fresh all day
• If you are concerned about irritation from the lace base:
  
  • Try wearing a wig liner cap to provide a layer of protection from the lace. 
    
  • Wear a gel band which lifts the wig slightly from your scalp to help with circulation.
    
• If the heat becomes unbearable, try a halo hair piece with a summer hat or a cap with a ponytail.
