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?

      Yes. Wigs are sweltering hot, sweaty, and itchy. I’ve only worn synthetic though, but I’ve heard human hair wigs are better but not by much.

      You can get used to it or suffer through depending on how sensitive you are.

      Depending on the balding pattern she may tolerate toppers and other hair pieces rather than a full wig.
