"Will wearing a wig cause hair loss?" As a black woman who always changes her style with wigs, I have already figured out these problems! Today I'll reveal the truth: whether a wig hurts your hair or not depends on how you use it!
The hair damage was not caused by a wig; it was the wrong use
Many people lose their hair when wearing wigs, but it's actually because they didn't do a good job of getting it done! Wearing a wig when your natural hair is wet will definitely breed bacteria after a long period of stuffiness. Pull off several strands of hair when you don’t entirely remove the wig glue. Braiding your natural hair too tightly that cause consistent pulling on the scalp. All these operations are wrong.
Choosing the right wig can actually protect natural hair
Our black women’s hair is delicate, and it will dry and split after being frequently dyed and permed. Choosing the right wig can actually give natural hair good protection! For sensitive groups, the
glueless wigs are the best option, such as
human hair half wigs or skin lace wigs. I wore a glueless
Burmese curly wig and hid my hair inside, away from dyes and heat styling. After several months, the split ends of my hair were reduced. Focus on the style of human hair and breathable cap, which can be worn in summer without feeling stuffy, and keep the scalp fresh.
Three tips to avoiding damage
Firstly, don't wear it too tightly! Don't braid your hair and adjust the wig too tightly, otherwise, it will cause traction alopecia. Secondly, choose glueless style, take the wig off every day, and let the scalp breathe. Finally, regularly clean the wig to prevent oil from adhering to the scalp.
In a Word
To put it simply, wigs are a tool for beauty enhancement, not a 'hair injury killer'. Choosing the right style and using the right method can not only change the hairstyle every day, but also make the natural hair smooth and shiny!
