Why Summer Wig Care Is Different


Summer wig care differs from fall/winter due to the humid weather, which can cause frizz and tangling as wigs absorb moisture . In contrast, winter’s dry air can leave wigs brittle and fragile from lack of moisture. This guide provides essential tips to keep your wig fresh, comfortable, and looking great all summer long.
