How to Wear and Care for Your Hair System in Summer: Essential Tips

Now, we discussing how to wear and care for your hair system during these hot summer months. Here are some helpful tips that will help you to keep your hair system in perfect condition during summer.

Today, our Lordhair customer and professional stylist, Aaron O'Bryan, will share his summer tips from a user's perspective. You can watch the original video below for more insights!

 

Tip 1: Pre-treatment

Before you put the hair system on, at least wash your scalp with some cool water to keep the oil production at bay and ensure that it is not going to be in that sweaty or overheated condition for its wear. A cool, clean scalp is the most ideal base for holding your toupee in place.

 

Tip 2: Shaving Well

The hair growth rate increases by 10% during the summer months. Shaving close to the scalp using a foil razor will enable the hair piece to bond and fit firmly to the head, thereby eliminating fluffing during hot weather.

 

Tip 3: Apply a barrier spray

Isolation sprays are necessary for people who wear hair replacement systems in the summer. Simply spray a barrier spray onto your scalp and dry it for around 30 seconds. Then, this prevents the sweat and oils from breaking down the glue, providing durability to the hair system.

 

Tip 4: Cool the scalp

Before applying your toupee, blow some cold air through it to cool the scalp. This prevents the glue from being dissolved quickly due to temperature.

 

Tip 5: Double Fixation

Summer sweat and oils can destabilize hair replacement systems. The double fixation of tape and glue—such as Ghost Bond—can be used more effectively around the line of hair growth to provide added security and strength so a wig system will not only fit well but last over time.

 

Tip 6: Change your hairline every two weeks

Whilst the rest of your wig system can stay in for four to five weeks, give your hair tape a change every two weeks this summer. It makes re-wearing easier and keeps your hairline looking fresh since, with oils and heat, the glue breaks down faster.

 

Summer Hair System Care Tips

 

Now that you have worn out your toupee, here are some summer care tips that will help you keep your men's hair pieces looking fabulous and lasting longer.

Moisturizing Your Hair System

Most importantly, during the summer, keep your hair system moisturized. Use a leave-in conditioner that hydrates the hair to help it detangle, ensuring that your hair system is well protected.

 

Limit Washing Frequency

Avoid washing your hair system too much. The conditioner and water usually do the trick. You are to apply the moisturizing shampoo only twice a month. The clarifying ones are supposed to be avoided as well since they wash out the protective oils from the hair system and make it dry and vulnerable to damage.

 

Use Alcohol-Free Styling Products

When styling your hair system, try to use Alcohol-Free Styling Products. Alcohol makes color wear off and causes dryness on the hair system. Instead, use alcohol-free hairspray, mousses, and volumizing sprays to keep your hair looking vibrant throughout.

 

Protect Your Hair System During Exercise

If you are going to swim, hike, or do some other summer activity, wear a cotton sweatband around your hairline and hair system to soak up the sweat and oils so they don't damage your hair system from excessive physical activities.
