Every woman needs a wig for those bad hair days. They revamp one’s look and boosts confidence.
Some women, however, are forced to wear a wig most of the time because of a receding hairline or hair loss due to health reasons. Some women rely entirely on wigs. But as you do this, do not neglect your own hair; otherwise, your hair may end up being damaged.
So how do you get the most out of your wig without damaging your hair?
Scalp massage: When one wears a wig, the blood flow on the scalp is less since the wig is tightly attached to the head. Massage your scalp whenever you remove the wig to allow for blood flow.
Nylon netting wig: Wigs with nylon netting at the bottom allow your hair to breathe. Cotton or nylon wig caps are not very good since they can damage your hairline and hinder hair growth. The best wig liners are the ones made of gel as they protect your hairline and skin.
Wig liner: Always wear a barrier between your hair and the wig to protect your hair. Go for a silk one since silk won’t suck moisture from your hair like cotton or nylon liners.
Regular shampoo: The fact that you are wearing a wig does not mean that you neglect your own hair. Regularly shampoo and condition your hair as a normal routine.
