Wigging Out: How To Turn Heads in the Heat With Style

We’re gearing up for a summer of love. Loving your wig, that is! If you’re anything like us, you know wigs are a sizzling hot fashion statement. But as temperatures rise, it might be hard to keep your cool under thick styles with poor ventilation. (Whoever said “beauty is pain” never wore a wig in 90-degree weather.)

So what are the best wigs to wear during the summer? Don’t worry, queen. We’ve got you — and your crown — covered. We’ll introduce you to a few heat-friendly styles that will have you turning heads and feeling fly all season long.

8 Wig Styles to Keep You Cool

1. Short Wigs

Short wigs for hot weather? Groundbreaking. (Seriously, though.) Textured pixie cuts, sleek bob wigs, and other short styles are game-changers when it comes to beating the heat. These fierce and fabulous options keep you looking on point and allow for amazing airflow around your neck and shoulders. Feel that breeze, baby!

2. Capless Wigs

Capless wigs are one of the coolest styles you can rock this summer. No cap — literally. Unlike traditional styles that feature a solid cap, capless wigs are constructed with open wefts of hair spaced out across the base. Air flows freely throughout, creating better ventilation and letting your scalp breathe.

3. Lace-Front Wigs

If you’re looking for a lightweight wig, lace-front is the way to go. Airy lace-front wigs are made to mimic your natural hairline, leaving everyone wondering if it’s real or if you were just born this fierce. You can also brush the hair away from your face, letting you show off your stunning features and enjoy the summer air.

4. Loose Waves or Curls

As it warms up, your choice of wig could be the difference between being a beach babe and a total diva. Avoid a hairy meltdown by choosing one with loose curls or mermaid waves. These can be easily tossed into summer updos or half-up styles, keeping hair from sticking to your neck in the humidity. No stage-five clingers over here, please.

5. Ponytail or Bun

Your social calendar is booked and busy, so you need a wig that can keep up. Think versatile options that easily transition from rooftop brunch to pool party and anything in between. Wigs with enough length to pull into a sleek ponytail or cute space buns help keep hair off your neck and shoulders, keeping you cool and comfortable.

6. Braided Wigs

Nothing should weigh you down this summer, especially your hair. Low-maintenance styles, like braids and twists, are a total vibe for the warmer months. They offer a fashionable, drama-free look while also pulling hair away from your neck and face — perfect for music festivals, beach days, and road trips with your besties.

7. Tapered or Layered Wigs

Another summer-friendly option is a wig with a tapered or layered cut. These lightweight styles are a great heatwave hack, and can significantly reduce the amount of hair resting on your neck and shoulders. Say goodbye to sweaty discomfort and hello to an easy, breezy summer like no other!
