Summer is finally here and the sun and warmth is starting to bring back the nostalgic vibes of road trips and beach outings. Now that quarantine is officially over and everyone can travel again, we thought it would be a good idea to share some of our best advice when it comes to changing up your hair color during the summer season. One of the best reasons you should be doing this is that the heat and humidity of the season can wreak havoc on your wigs if you’re not careful to rest your wig properly after wearing it. This is why you should have at least 2 to 3 wigs in your collection that will allow you an opportunity to wear them in rotation, keeping your wigs fresh. Even while rotating your collection, you should also follow these 3 steps to keep your wigs looking their best.

1. Keep your hair on a stand

This is especially important for Human Hair Wigs because hair in itself is an organic material that can change shape and color when exposed to external stresses. That’s why its very important to allow your wig to rest on a stand that mimics the oval shape of the human head. This will allow your wig to get exposure to more air on the internal surface area while the exterior surface is naturally kept in place by gravity. Doing this will help your wig to keep its shape and look its best when you wear it next.

2. Cool and Dry

We can’t stress this enough, when storing your wigs, make sure you select a room that’d cook and dry. Bathrooms are the worst place to keep your wigs because of the constant buildup of humidity and heat when taking showers and baths. It also introduces your wigs to bacteria that can float around in the air and land on your precious hair. We suggest picking spot in your bedroom where cool and dry air circulate the best. Keeping your wigs dry when not wearing them is very important, not just for the benefit of the wig, but also because it’s more sanitary. Preventing moisture buildup also helps to prevent the growth of bacteria on the surface of your wig, this will overall keep your wig looking and smelling its best.

3. Avoid Over-Styling

One of the first things many people do when buying a human hair wig is to take it to a salon where a professional can further cut and style your hair to match your exact dimensions. While this may be the norm, there’s still plenty of people who prefer to do this at home. This is a great way to learn more about your wig and to examine the excellent craftsmanship, however you should also be careful not to damage the hair. When styling your new wig, be sure to keep the styling heat low. This will ensure the hair on your wig is not overly stressed and will allow you to reshape the hair in the future as needed. Also use caution when applying any type of hair product as this can result in residue buildup over time.
