4 tips about natural hair care under wigs

Wearing a wig is the easiest and quickest way to change your daily hairstyle. Meanwhile, wigs can protect your own hair from damage. However, having your natural hair covered under a wig doesn’t mean there is no need to take care of them. Your natural hair can grow healthy only with your proper care. This blog article is going to walk you through the tips you need to know about keeping your hair healthy and growing underneath your human hair wigs.

1. Wash your hair regularly

Regularly washing your hair is a key factor to keep your hair healthy. Sweat, product buildup, dirt, and oil, all may cause scalp inflammation and lead to clogged hair follicles. Washing your hair can help you to removed all of them and create a healthy environment for your natural hair. After washing your hair, don’t forget to condition it. Deep conditioning could keep your hair and follicles well-fed and healthy.

2. Wear a cap under the wig

Are you going to just put the wig directly onto your braids? Stop sis! That will pull your hair and definitely hurt your natural hair. Always remember to grab a wig cap first. Wig caps will create a physical barrier that protects your fragile strands from friction. Meanwhile, a wig cap can also keep your hair nice and flat, so that your wigs will be more natural with it.

3. Don’t sleep with your wig

We all know that sleeping with a wig will shorten the wig’s lifespan, but do you know that it’ll also damage your natural hair. As the wig's rough interior material rubs against your hair, some breakage occurs and your hair growth is stunted.

4. Make sure your wig is not too tight

Most human hair wigs come with an adjustable strap, and you can adjust the strap to make sure your wig strap is secure but not too tight. Wearing your wig tightly will not only damage your hairline but also bring you dizziness and nausea.
