Heat destroys synthetic wigs. Turkish scarves look fantastic, and if the dyes don't run, may be a better choice.

My experience with tape/glue is that steam and the resulting sweat tends to loosen the hold especially around the neck and ear areas. You could just use small pieces of tape at a few strategic points which will be enough to hold the wig on and changing the tape if it loosens will be much easier.

Bear in mind that each individual's body chemistry is a little different and will have a slightly different effect on how the tape/glue holds up. When I was taping/glueing my wigs on regularly I applied anti-perspirant around my head's perimeter and this helped to stop the wetness/sweat from breaking down the bond. There is also a product you get from the chemist that helps put a barrier between your skin and the tape/glue that helps stop any irritation you get from them. I can't remember the name of it but it's for creating a barrier to surgical tape. I became allergic to tape and then went to using glue which I still use at times just by my ears and forehead. I use a water based glue as I like to take my wig off at night and it cuts down on the cleanup.
