Diamonds aren’t a girl’s best friend. A good wig is. Your wig will enable you to experiment with your hairstyles, offer protection for your scalp, and make your hair look fuller and healthier than ever before. During the winter months your wig will become even more important as it can protect your scalp and ensure that you’ll never have to worry about having a bad hair day again.
Not only do we stock simply the best ladies’ wigs for winter 2018, we’ve also got all the tips and advice you need to take care of your wigs properly throughout the winter. Here’s everything you need to know.
Choosing the Right Wig
Wearing wigs in the winter can be easier than in the summer because you don’t have to worry about summer humidity affecting the condition of your hair. Heat and sweat are no longer as much of a concern once the weather cool and there is less chance of your scalp becoming hot, itchy, and uncomfortable under your wig when the temperatures are cooler. That means that you can choose wigs that are longer, heavier, and more flamboyant during the winter but that doesn’t mean that you won’t need to take care of your wig. You will need to take careful care of your wig if it becomes wet. A wet wig should be left to dry naturally. Regardless of whether you are wearing a human hair wig or a synthetic wig, heat drying your wig could leave it feeling brittle and dry and could actually shorten its lifespan. If your wig gets wet, let it dry naturally. If it has been exposed to snow or rain that contains contaminants like pollution then you should wash your wig using a shampoo and conditioning treatment designed for your type of wig. Then let it air dry.
If you’re worried about winter winds tangling the strands of hair in your wig or disturbing the style, buy a head wrap, hat, or scarf that you can use to cover your hair when you are walking outside. This will protect your hair from the elements and help to keep it in tip top condition for as long as possible.
Add Extra Conditioner to Your Wig in Winter
Indoor winter air tends to be dry thanks to heating systems. That means it is important that you keep your wig soft and moisturized. Winter weather can make our skin, lips, and our hair become dry and damaged. Cold air is also dry which cause wigs that aren’t properly washed and conditioned to attract more static electricity or even age prematurely. In order to prevent this damage, you should use a wig shampoo and a particularly moisture-rich leave-in conditioner designed for wigs at least once a week on your wig during winter months.
Choose Your Outfits Wisely
Another thing you should do to ensure your wig stays in tip top condition is to think about what clothing you wear during the winter months. Certain synthetic fabrics (such as nylon wool and faux fur) can cause considerable amount of static electricity and these will negatively impact on your wig, regardless of whether it is a synthetic wig or a human hair wig.
Try to avoid wearing rough fabrics or other materials that will have extensive contact with your wig. You don’t want to risk causing damage to your wig by subjecting it to excessive wear against an abrasive surface. If you do want to wear a winter coat with a tough outer layer you might wish to consider wrapping your hair in a silk scarf. This will protect it from any damage.
Have Fun with Your Wig!
Above all, winter wig wearing is about having fun. Winter brings Halloween, Christmas, and New Year, and all of the parties that comes with these celebrations. That means that now is the perfect time to invest in a fun, party wig and have fun with your style. Wig wearing allows you to achieve hair styles you might never have thought possible with your natural hair so embrace this and embrace the fun of wearing a wig. Try extra length, add a blunt fringe or simply choose a show stopping colour. The world is your oyster. Why choose something boring when you could choose something fun instead?
Take Care of Your Wig
In the summer sweaty days in the park are a reminder to regularly clean our wigs. Don’t let this routine fall away once you reach cooler weather. Spending more time indoors could mean more exposure to smoke from fireplaces or cigarettes. A regular routine of cleaning and conditioning your wig will still be important and using a wig stand can help maintain the shape of your wig as it dries.
