Brazilian hair wigs that are perfect for summertime

You are not alone in your belief that wearing a Brazilian hair wig during the summer months might be uncomfortable owing to the heat. This is a typical wig-user concern, but it can be managed if you know what to wear during this period of the year.

Aside from the risk of discomfort, Brazilian hair wigs are affected in hot conditions just like any other human hair. Due to the high levels of humidity seen in South Africa throughout the summer, your wigs may lose their shape and style or develop frizz.

Below is a list of the 5 best Brazilian hair wigs (or extensions) to consider wearing during the summer season to keep you light, fresh, and your hair perfectly in place no matter what the weather conditions are:

1.    Pixies or less than 10-inch-long wigs

If you like short Brazilian hair wigs, choose a style that is above your shoulders and, which ideally, does not touch your neck. This will help you keep cool and comfortable when you’re out and about on summer days.

Pixies are a great choice for hot and humid days. Even if you sweat or get a little bit of rain along the way, your hair will continue to look “in place.”

2.    Headband wigs

These are Brazilian hair wigs that come with a headband attached to the front part. What makes them so wonderful for summer is the fact that you don’t need to install or glue them on your head. Actually, you can leave your entire hairline outside the wig and let the front part of your head be open and cool. Another advantage of headband wigs is that even if your wig gets wet because of the rain, it won’t look messy on your head. If you don’t have a headband wig, this is the perfect time of the year to consider getting one for yourself. Black Friday and Christmas specials are popping up, so you should definitely take advantage of that and quickly pick your preferred style.

3.    Ponytail extensions

Ponytails are not Brazilian hair wigs, but they do deserve a spot on the list of what to wear during the summer. They are extremely easy to install and won’t make you feel hot or sweaty. You can opt for a simple Brazilian hair ponytail, but maybe it would be a good idea to spice up your look and get yourself a 30-inch heat-resistant ponytail like the one below from LolaSilk.

If you like to keep an Afro style, pondos are also great options for summer.

4.    Lace-front wigs

Many Brazilian hair wigs with 13×4 inches of lace will require you to add some sort of glue for installation or an extra silicone band under your wig, which can be really uncomfortable during the warm months. Lace front wigs, also called T-part wigs, are considered glue-less, and you can still enjoy the flexibility to make an up-do. Pulling your hair to the back in a bun or half ponytail are great options to move the hair away from your face, which will immediately help you feel fresher and keep your hair in place even with all the humidity in the world.

5.    Messy or texturized style

The short beach waves or shag look is not only a hot trend for 2023, but it is a clever style to adopt during summertime. This “messy” look can help to disguise the effects that heat, and humidity will have on your Brazilian hair wigs. The good news is that if you have a straight wig that is still in good condition, you can easily achieve this hairstyle without having to purchase a new one.

Independently of the wig style you will pick this summer, invest in Brazilian hair wigs that are not made out of full caps but have an open structure inside that allows your scalp to breathe and does not retain heat (they are called cap-less or wefted wigs). The majority of LolaSilk wigs are exactly like that, which allows for continuous use of the wigs throughout the entire year.

Because the holiday season coincides with summer in South Africa, you can count on spending a lot of time outside in the warm weather with your loved ones. Sun, heat, humidity, swimming, and beach time can be harsh on your Brazilian hair wigs, so don’t forget to dedicate more time to your hair care routine to keep your wigs looking beautiful and healthy until the end of the season.

Keeping your hair hydrated is the key to preserving its natural radiance and silkiness. If you find that your hair is becoming dry and dull due to the increased frequency of washing that occurs during this time of year, try applying a hair mask once a week to nourish and restore its radiance.
