Beauty & Health: A Practical Guide to Growing Hair Under Wigs
Wearing a wig can instantly switch between various fashionable styles, but if the real hair covered under the wig is not properly cared for, it may become dry, break, shed, and even cause scalp problems. How to take care of your natural hair when you are wearing wigs? I this post, I will give a practical guide to growing healthy hair under wigs.
Before Wearing a Wig: Cleaning and Care for Your Natural Hair
Control the washing frequency according to the hair condition. For oily hair, it is recommended to wash once every 1-2 days, and for dry hair, it can be extended to 2-3 days. Excessive washing can cause dryness and breakage.
Gently massage the scalp with fingertips to avoid scratching the scalp. Apply hair conditioner to the hair strands to moisturize the hair.
If you neglect hair cleaning and care, the oil and dirt will block and irritate your scalp.
Air dry or low-temperature drying. Use a soft towel to absorb the water and air dry. Or use the low temperature setting of the hair dryer to blow-dry the hair.
When you comb the hair, start from the ends to the roots. Gradually comb upwards, choosing a wide-toothed comb to reduce pulling and breaking hair.
Practical Tips for Protecting Natural hair When Wearing Wigs
Choose breathable and comfortable wigs to avoid being too tight and stuffy, which can damage your scalp and natural hair. Such as glue-free wear and go wigs, 360 fit wigs, skin lace wigs.
When you use clips or combs to secure wigs, be careful and avoid pulling.
Before wearing a wig, you can wear a wig cap to wrap your natural hair to reduce friction.
If your scalp is sensitive, you’d better control the wearing time of a wig, remove it promptly after you come back home, and let the scalp breathe.
In summer or during exercise, wear a breathable lace wig, v part wig, or half wig human hair, which can provide great breathability.
