Our Favorite Wig Care Products & Accessories for Summer
1. Breathable Wig Caps & Liners
Wearing a wig in summer doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort. Wig caps and liners serve as a buffer between your scalp and wig, improving fit and preventing discomfort.
Fishnet liners promote airflow and keep your bio hair securely in place.
The Softie Capby Jon Renau is made with viscose from bamboo. Its silky softness and breathability makes this wig cap perfect for sensitive scalps.
The No Sweat Liner by Headline It is perfect for extra hot days. Its moisture-wicking design helps keep your scalp cool and dry.
Pro Tip:Finding wig caps too warm in the heat? For a secure fit without the added layers, try BeautiMark’s Sure Grip. Place it in the freezer, and wear it under your wig for all-day coolness.
2. Style-Saving Hair Accessories
Summer fun often means long days outdoors—and the last thing you want is your wig clinging to your neck.
Use headbands, claw clips, braids, or low ponytails to keep hair off your face and neck.
Experiment with looks that reduce tangling and keep your wig secure.
Pro Tip: If your wig doesn’t have an ear-to-ear or extended lace front, opt for lower styles to help conceal the wefts and ear tabs.
3. Always Have a Wide Tooth Comb On Hand
Heat and wind can lead to tangles—especially with mid-length to long wigs. A wide tooth comb helps gently detangle without damaging the fibers.
Pair it with a detangling spray to glide through knots with ease.
Always start combing from the ends and work up to avoid stressing the strands.
Pro Tip: Never yank through snags. Gently brushing the fibers will help prevent breakage, frizz, and flyaways.
4. Use Shampoo & Conditioner for Wigs
Sweat, oils, and makeup can build up quickly during summer—especially after outdoor activities.
Wash your wig more often than the usual 6–8 wears if it’s worn frequently or you've been sweating.
Set your wig on a wig stand and allow it to dry for at least 24 hours.
5. Travel-Friendly ResQ Bag
Planning a getaway? Don’t leave without the ResQ Bag by Amy Gibson. Whether it's a weekend trip or a summer escape, your wig will arrive just as flawless as when you packed it.
The mesh lining keeps hair from frizzing or tangling in transit.
Extra pockets let you store your styling tools and wig care products all in one place.
