The best summer wigs The good news: summer is almost here! The bad news: wearing wigs when the weather is hot can be too tiring for some women. Especially for women who wear long wigs or human hair wigs, wigs tend to be heavier than synthetic wigs or short wigs, which can cause you to overheat when you should be enjoying the nice weather outside. That's why summer is a great time to change up your look and try cheaper, lighter, shorter wig styles. Here are our favorite short wig styles that you can try this summer to keep you cool and comfortable when things start to heat up.
