How to care for an oncological wig in summer?

Cancer Braided wigs have a series of basic recommendations for their care, keeping them in good condition for a long period.
With the arrival of summer, heat and humidity can cause changes in the appearance of 
Knotless braids. In addition, depending on the type of wig you use, there are different care to take into account.

 The care is similar, they are only different if it is a synthetic wig or a natural hair wig. Distinguish what type of wig you use in summer and pay attention to its care. Learn how to wash a natural or synthetic wig without damaging it.

Special care for natural hair wigs:

In summer, natural 
Waist length box braids need a lot more care. As mentioned before, it is better to use synthetic wigs. But if you do not have the opportunity to change or want to continue using this type of wig, these tips will help you keep it in good condition.

Then need double the hydration and protection:

Use moisturizing shampoos before leaving home, as it is natural hair, it produces more oil. Don't forget to apply sunscreen products, especially if you'll be spending a lot of time in the sun. When you get home, apply conditioner to keep it hydrated.

Avoid taking a dip in the pool or beach with the wig:

Manufacturers recommend not wearing the 
Box braids while taking a dip, chemicals from the pool or salt from the beach can cause your wig to start to turn green.

Specific care for synthetic wigs:

Synthetic fibers can melt at high temperatures, so it's important to avoid the harshest hours of sun or hot styling tools unless you're opting for heat-safe synthetic hair.

Be sure to wear a cancer hat or bandana over the 
Braid wigs if you are going to be out in the sun for long periods. This will protect both your wig and your skin from sun damage.

This type of wig may be more resistant to color change than human hair wigs, but it can still be damaged by the sun.

They are more prone to excessive sweating in the summer as oils can become clogged on the scalp and hair supports of your wig. If you feel it getting dirty faster than usual, wash it more often. Store your wig at room temperature away from sun exposure when not in use.

As you have seen, heat does not have to impede wearing a wig. With these tips for summer wigs, you can look beautiful and fresh during the hottest months of the year.
