How To Keep Your Brunette Hair Looking Fresh This Winter?

Introduction

Winters means cold weather, snowfall, and mulled wine! It’s a joyful season when everyone has a smile on their face and a spring in their step.

While winters may be a great time for you and your social life, when it comes to wigs – whether synthetic or made from human hair – the cold, dry winter air can take its toll on your crowning glory.

Split ends and broken strands are common with your natural hair, but they don’t have to be the case with wigs.

With the right care, you can enter the winter season with a beautiful brunette hair wig and exit winter with that wig just as beautiful!

How Do You Keep Your Wig Nice In The Winter?

Keeping your brunette hair looking fresh and healthy in winter can be challenging – especially if you live in a place that gets really cold. Cold air makes hair brittle, meaning lots of broken bits and split ends everywhere.

While it’s possible to repair hair damaged by the cold, the adage ‘prevention is better than cure’ is certainly true.

When it comes to hair colors, the brunette is definitely a winter staple. Caramel, auburn, and winter gold are among the most popular choices this new year!

To prevent a winter catastrophe, our experts have put together some tips and tricks to help you look after your beautiful brunette hair wig this winter and make it shine! Read on to find out!

Tip 1: Keep it covered

Cold winter air is extremely dry. When it comes in contact with your hair fibers and scalp, it draws out the moisture making it dry and more prone to breaking.

Covering your brunette hair wig with a scarf, hat, or shawl is a great way to protect it from the elements – especially when you’re outdoors. Before stepping out for a trip to the market or even if it’s a walk around the block to get a hot cup of coffee, wearing a hat will go a long way in keeping your brunette hair wig healthy this winter.

Frannie Hat Hair Piece by Especially Yours® comes with a stylish knit hat and hand-twisted locks giving you an instant loc’d-up look while also protecting your hair.

Top tip: Fabrics like wool and cotton can cause your wig fibers to break. Use a hat or scarf made from satin or silk instead if you’re covering your brunette hair wig separately.

A winter beanie hat can also be a great accessory, providing form, function, and fashion all in one – what’s not to love about that?

Tip 2: Wash less often

If you’re someone who washes their wig very often, we’re here to tell you that you need to rein it in!

Every time you wash your wig, it loses some of the moisture that keeps it looking healthy and shiny if not conditioned properly.

In winter, your brunette hair wig needs every bit of that moisture. Adding an extra day between washes can go a long way to keeping your brunette hair wig looking natural and fresh this winter.

Top tip: Washing with lukewarm water instead of hot water reduces moisture loss, meaning a healthier-looking wig that is less likely to break.

Tip 3: Be gentle when drying

Now that you’ve washed your brunette hair wig, you’re probably getting your blow-dryer ready. Air from a dryer is hot and, well, dry, and it isn’t great for your wig either. It dries out the water in your wig and pulls out all the moisture, which, as we’ve already seen, isn’t great for your wig.

Our experts recommend shampooing and conditioning your wig before turning it in for the night. To dry it, patting your brunette hair wig with a soft cloth or towel will draw out the water. Shape and style the wig – without heat – as you would like to wear it, and then leave it to air dry overnight.

Your wigs will look as good as new in the morning! Our recommendation for a great wig is the Tori Wig by Especially Yours®.

If you were looking for a low-maintenance wig that’s high on style, the Tori Wig by Especially Yours® fits the bill! Made of easy-care synthetic fibers that hold their shape all day long, you can focus on slaying your look without worrying about upkeep.

And with two shades of beautiful brunette hair colors to choose from, including a sultry dark auburn with medium auburn highlights, you’ll be turning heads and feeling fabulous in no time! The best part? The yaki texture offers added visual interest and depth to the color, making it look stunning and unique!

Tip 4: Moisturize

During winter, just like your skin, your brunette hair wig needs moisture restoration. Since hair wigs don’t have a natural moisture source like real human hair (your body creates natural hair oils that are vital for healthy hair), you’ll need to take extra care of your wig.

Conditioning your wig becomes really important in the winter months. It creates a layer that insulates your wig fibers against the cold, dry air and prevents moisture from escaping.

Conditioning helps keep your brunette hair wig soft and thick, preventing frizziness and breakage.

You should also use a deep conditioning mask at least once a week. After washing and conditioning the wig, apply the mask and leave it overnight. This will help lock in all the moisture and protect your brunette hair wig against the dry air and other winter elements.

You can heat-style your human hair and heat-friendly synthetic hair wigs, but the rule remains the same – be sure to condition and care for your brunette hair wigs. The Laurie Human Hair Wig by Especially Yours® comes in a dark brown color with mahogany highlights which are heat-stylable just like natural hair.

Top tip: Wig care products depend on the type of material used to make the wig. Always use recommended products, or you may end up damaging your brunette hair wig beyond repair.

Another enemy of hair that rears its head in winter is static electricity. With the right hair spray, you can prevent static buildup and prevent any shocks – figurative and literal!

Tip 5: Reduce heat style

Whether you have your real natural human hair, a human hair wig, or a synthetic hair wig, using heat tools excessively will pull moisture out of your wig (and hair).

By reducing how much you style your brunette hair wig or cutting out heat styling completely, you can help improve your wig’s look and life.

When you do need to style your brunette hair wig, try and use as little heat as possible. And, of course, make sure you use the right heat protection products beforehand!

The Salem Human Hair Blend Wig by Especially Yours® is a beautiful bob wig made with a blend of 30% real human hair and 70% heat-stylable Futura® synthetic fiber that can “take the heat” with any heat-styling tools in a moderate heat setting. This brunette hair wig gives the look and feel of premium 100% human hair without the premium cost!
