My mom would not be able to wear a hat during the summer obviously heat would stay in and she would get too hot. She needs a wig, but that wig should, for lack of a better phrase, breathe.

So it doesn’t hold the heat in near the scalp.

Is there a wig that is like that? Or do all wigs effectively hold heat to the scalp?

Edit: I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. That’s on me. I meant will a wig be more warm then normal hair?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if there were something about different types of wigs that make them hotter than just having natural hair. That said, I’m not sure we have people with subject matter experience in the thread here.

    Like this thread over at the wigs subreddit is already talking about terms I’m not familiar with, so that seems like a promising place to start.

    I’m on lemmy because I disagree with the ownership direction at Reddit but they have an enviable user base in terms of size and diversity.
