You'll have it with shorter style wigs too. After all, you're wearing something on your head and especially on warm days, it can get a bit sweaty underneath.
If it's more the hair itself bothering you, you can always wear it in a ponytail to keep it out of your face.
"One day Jessy, I'm gonna show you the world..."
God stepped back, looked at Adam, and declared "I can do better than that!" and so He created women.
The ITer stepped back, looked at the beta results, and declared "I can do better than that!" and so he created the final version.
Sometimes in the final version, some of the beta crap still remains. I know, because I'm living proof.
Don't know if it will help you but I keep my boy hair really short.
i am lucky to have any boy hair on my head.

even real hair is warm, I usually tie my hair up or clip it up!
Sweetie, wigs are hot. That's why I don't wear them. There's really not much you can do about it. Real hair is hot too, though, but you can flip it around to help cool your head. If you want the look, ya gotta live with it.
I usually keep the AC a little higher
But seriously, a hair clip near the top back of your head will keep the hair off your shoulders and alot of your neck which will help you feel cooler.

OMG I love it.... reading all the post,,,,, we are a bunch of girls!
I'm with Kaylee! I turn the AC down to "Arctic". Not much help when you leave the house though . . .Originally Posted by KayleeDahl

Yes, eating is an artform if you do not like eating hair...Usually I tie it back with an elastic at home...When going out to eat I find that hairspray down the sides of the face keeps things together so you don't get those pesky single flyaway hairs that are attracted to your fork.
I'm not a fan of wigs. Oh sure, I wore one for a long time, but not anymore since my hair grew out. Yep, way too hot, especially in the south.
Which is just another reason not to leave the house. Just kidding. GG's go through this with real hair; ex-wife said during the summer, it's like having a blanket on her head, so she always had it back in a pony tail. Basically, your body is trying to shed heat; another option is making sure you have plenty of other body surface areas uncovered. Oh, and, lose weight. Turns out fat is a great insulator to keep you hot.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
Not just the hair, but how do you manage to keep your makeup looking nice when it's 95 degrees and humid?
well i have the added problem of just being a hot person.
not that way. i just produce a lot of heat. always have,(my ex loved it as she is a cold hared
and yes i use the ac a LOT.
just seeing if maybe a trick or too out there.

When choosing a wig for hot weather look for lightweight hand tied wigs; each strand of hair is tied by hand to a base and can be combed in any direction like your natural hair. These wigs are softer and cooler to wear than traditional machine wefted wigs.
In addition to hand tied wigs you should also try to purchase a wig with a breathable base. Anytime you see a wig described as capless, open cap, comfort cap, or monafilment that means it is constructed with a breathable base and will provide you with the most comfort during the summer months. Less material in the cap allows for greater air circulation and a cooler head.

Hang with the "in crowd"!
No, seriously, keep your shoulders, arms and neck uncovered. That works for ME. And, I wear a silicone suit and mask!
As well as a wig!
Yes, Bianca! Last year at the SCC, I chewed off a number of strands from my wigs during meals!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
I do not mean to sound trite here...but I LOVE hair so much that for me it is part of the price I pay to enjoy my long girl hair!
That being said, i agree with most of those tips: keep other parts bare to aid in cooling (shoulders, etc) and keep the ac on low!

I have no issues keeping cool when wearing a wig. Here in Florida, I deal with the heat and humidity and it doesn't bother me at all.
It could be the type of wig you're wearing.
Used to wear synthetic wigs, but now all I wear are human hair and I always wear a wig cap.

I love to see a beautiful woman in a nice dress, but then again, I also want to wear that dress.

Never underestimate the power of brains and a push up bra.
Never complain about growing old, far too many people have been denied that privilege".
I wear a wig cap. i like Joann also find that my human hair wigs are cooler. I know many folks say the are too expensive but I pay about $90 for mine and they appear to be decent quality.
