Good Habits for Wig Wearers

In recent years, lace wigs have played an increasingly important role in people's daily life. Every woman has at least one lace wig because it makes them feel more beautiful and confident. For us dark-skinned women, we even own several lace wigs at the same time, and we spend a lot of money every month in wig stores. Since we spend so much money, of course, we need to take good care of our wigs so that they last longer and get the most out of them. So what good habits should you follow?

• Use specially formulated hair products

With daily use, the natural look and feel of the wig changed. From a glossy, natural and untangled appearance, it can look drab and matte without proper care. The hair may become tangled and the wig becomes unwearable. Wig care products come in two different types - human hair wigs and synthetic wigs. Because human hair wigs tend to be more delicate, the shampoo or conditioner specifically formulated for such wigs tends to contain less or milder ingredients. However, synthetic wigs are made of synthetic fibers. While regular shampoos may work, these specially formulated products will help maintain and extend the life of your wig.

• Always comb your hair gently with wide-toothed comb or fingers

The hair on the wig is hand-tied to the lace part. It's easy to break if you comb hard. And for the straight and wavy wigs, comb gently with a wide-toothed comb. For the curly wigs, Use your fingers to comb through difficult knots. This will prevent your wig from shedding.

• Take off your wig when you go to bed

It's important to take your wig off so your scalp and hair can breathe, and no wig can withstand constant wear and tear. This is what happens if you sleep in your wig. Wearing a wig overnight will put too much pressure on the hair fibers, which can tear easily.

• Use a wig stand to store your wig

When you're not wearing a wig, keeping it on a wig stand helps keep it in shape and away from anything that might knot or pull the hair. If not stored properly, hair can become brittle, dry, and begin to wither away. It can also change the texture.

• Never twist your wig dry

When you wash the wig, you dry it easily and restore it to its original shape as soon as possible. Like natural hair, your instinct is to twist or wring out excess moisture. Unfortunately, this is a common method of accidentally pulling hair out of the wig base and damaging the hair. The best way to dry the wig and remove moisture is to gently squeeze it dry with a cotton towel, then let it dry naturally on the wig stand.
