1. Choose the Right Summer Style
When the temperature rises, lightweight and breathable styles are your best friends. Here’s why we love these Ellen Wille styles for summer:

2. Keep Your Cool: Tips for Beating the Heat
Wearing a wig in summer doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. Here’s how to stay cool and confident:
Opt for Lightweight Cap Constructions
Look for open wefted caps or hand-tied designs (like those in Ellen Wille’s summer styles). These allow airflow to your scalp, preventing heat buildup.
Go Shorter for Summer
Short styles like Risk, Touch, and Lia II are perfect—they keep hair off your neck and reduce weight.
Use Wig Liners
A bamboo wig liner can absorb sweat and keep your scalp feeling fresh.
Keep It Light
Avoid heavy styling products in the heat. Instead, use Ellen Wille’s light finishing sprays to control flyaways without weighing hair down.
3. Fun in the Sun: Wearing Wigs by the Pool & Beach
While we love lounging by the pool, chlorine and saltwater aren’t wig-friendly. Here’s how to enjoy the sun without compromising your style:
Poolside Chic
-
Bring a stylish sun hat or wide-brimmed hat to protect your wig and add a touch of glam.
-
For a swim, switch to a swim cap or a less expensive synthetic hairpiece that’s not your everyday wig.
Beachy Vibes
-
Embrace easy, tousled textures! Esprit’s natural movement mimics beach waves without the saltwater damage.
-
A scarf or headband can double as a sun shield and a cute accessory.
4. Sunglasses & Wigs: The Perfect Summer Pair
Sunglasses are essential for sunny days—but they can sometimes clash with wig ear tabs. Here’s how to rock them together:
Tuck Your Sunglasses Over the Wig’s Ear Tabs
Slide the arms of your sunglasses over the wig’s ear tabs—not under—to keep the fit secure and natural-looking.
Pick Flexible Frames
Lightweight or flexible frames won’t put pressure on your wig, so you stay comfortable all day.
5. Warnings & Things to Be Mindful Of
Summer adventures are fun, but a few precautions will help your wig stay fresh and fabulous:
Stay Away from Open Flames
Synthetic fibers can melt if exposed to high heat—so be extra careful around bonfires, grills, fire pits, and even heaters on the patio.
Avoid Direct Heat Sources
Keep your wig away from intense sun exposure for extended periods and never use heat styling tools on synthetic fibers.
Humidity Caution
Summer humidity can cause extra frizz or tangles. Carry a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle and keep your style smooth.
6. Stay Fresh & Fabulous
A few extra tips to keep your Ellen Wille wig in top shape this summer:
-
Wash regularly (after 6-8 wears) to remove sweat and keep fibers soft.
-
Store your wig on a stand to maintain shape and airflow.
-
Try different looks! A braid, low ponytail, or cute clip-in accessory can change up your style for summer fun.
-
Freshen Up with BeautiMark Purifi Spray Hot days can mean sweaty wigs. BeautiMark Purify Spray is perfect for refreshing your wig with a light, clean scent—keeping your style smelling fresh all day!
