Wigs are a life-saver when it comes to hair loss or hair thinning problems. After all, what better option do you have if you want an instant solution to your problems and don’t want to undergo a hair transplant surgery? Palm Beach hair replacement centres offer an extensive range of wigs to suit every look. However, hot weather can be a problem and give you discomfort while wearing wigs. Especially people that use wigs to deal with the effects of chemotherapy are likely to feel unwell from the heat. So, here are a few tips to beat the heat even with your wigs on.

Select a Cool Wig Base

It can be uncomfortable to wear a wig in hot weather, but you retain your look while feeling comfortable with the right wig base or wig cap. Nobody can see your wig base but it plays a huge role in the appearance and comfort of your wig. Wig bases are available in various styles and materials, and you can adjust most to fit your head securely. It is better to avoid a mono-top or monofilament wig base. Although it creates a natural appearance, it can be very warm on the scalp because of not being ventilated. You can go for a lace front wig base instead for a cooler option. If you are concerned about scalp irritation, opt for a lightweight comfort cap wig.

Decide the Type of Hair Wig

There are two types of hair wigs available in the market – synthetic and human hair wigs. Both types come in various colours, and you can cut and style both so they suit you. Synthetic hair wigs can hold the style all the time, even under sweat and water. A lightweight synthetic wig with a capless base is a great choice if you want to keep cool. Due to its open construction, it can stay relatively cool on the scalp. Human hair wigs, on the other hand, look and drape exactly like natural hair, but they are often hot and heavy in warm weather.

Choose a Lighter Colour

You may love dark brown or sleek black for your wigs, but those colours are not suitable for hot weather as they soak up a ton of heat. Just like you go for lighter colours for your dresses when it is hot, choose lighter colours for wigs as well. They absorb less heat and stay cooler. However, if you are accustomed to extremely dark hair wigs and feel uncomfortable going blonde, there is no need to push it. Just switch the wig colour just a few shades lighter, and you will notice a drastic change in how it feels in the heat.

Cooling Hacks for Wigs

Regardless of the type of wig you choose, you can keep yourself cooler in some other ways as well –

· Gel band: It is a head-hugging band that lifts the wig off the scalp slightly so sweat can evaporate, and air can cool the skin at the same time. 

· Corn starch-based baby powder: You may apply a bit of baby powder on the scalp before putting it on the wig. The corn starch soaks up the sweat so you can feel fresh, but it does not cause dry skin or irritation. 

· Wig liner cap: This stretchy cotton skullcap also absorbs sweat and prevents skin irritation. You can hand wash it easily and it dries overnight.
