What Are Active Wigs?

Are you wondering what are active wigs? This is a wig that is specifically designed for use at the gym or while participating in sports activities. It’s also called a gym/sports hair wig.

There are a few recommended styling types and helpful tips to help you choose your gym/sports wig. A gym/sports wig can be any style, color, and type of wig in which you feel the most comfortable.

A gym/sports wig is a wig that is designed to be worn in a ponytail or a bun.

Because the wefts are sewn in a circular pattern, you can gather the hair up smoothly without having to worry about any of the cap showing through. This is because the wefts are sewn in a circular pattern.

These particular varieties and styles of wigs are better suited for physical activity than others.

Can You Wear A Wig To The Gym?

You can wear a wig to the gym, but you should be prepared for it to wear out faster than some of your other wigs. This is because of sweat and because you may have to style it quickly or roughly.

Your more expensive hair or the hair you wear every day won’t get ruined or damaged if you sweat on it. It may, however, make the cap/hair get dirty more quickly. This means you may have to wash it more often (and in the case of human hair, restyling).

This will damage your wig over time, so if you work out often, a gym wig is best for your active lifestyle. You may well think it’s worth it to spend money on a separate piece (made of real hair or synthetic fibers) to sweat in.

Tips for Active Wigs

Alternatively, if you have any older wigs that you don’t wear as much as you used to, they can be repurposed as your new gym wig! You don’t want to work out in your best wig. It will definitely get sweaty and you’ll have to wash it often. Instead, stick to something you’re not attached to because it will wear faster.

Wearing a headband is one way to work out with a regular wig, whether it is made of real or synthetic hair. A headband can help keep your wig in place and hide your hairline if you want to put your wig in a ponytail.

Keep in mind that if you have your own hair and wear a wig in a ponytail or as a sports wig, your hair may show around the edges of the wig. If you want to wear a piece up, look for one that is the same color as your hair or has roots that are the same color.

How to Style an Active Wig

For styling your gym hair wig, the shorter, the better. You can then put it behind your ears to keep it out of your face and out of the way. If you find that all of your older wigs are long or that a short hairstyle does not suit you, arrange your hair in braids.

It is entirely up to you whether you want to go to the gym wearing human hair or synthetic hair wigs.

Human Hair versus Synthetic Active Wigs

Human hair is often more expensive and heavier. Yet, it is great if you want to be able to style your hair differently each time you visit. It is also the best choice if you desire a more natural-looking wig.

On the other hand, synthetic hair wigs are lighter and less expensive, but they retain their style and can be difficult to style at times. Learn more about Human Hair versus Synthetic Wigs here
