How to Protect Hair Under A Wig
1.Wearing a wig cap
Wearing a wig cap is the first step to protect your hair. It can effectively isolate dust and grease and reduce direct contact between the external environment and the hair. Using a wig cap made of silky material can reduce friction and avoid damage to the hair, especially for fine or fragile hair. The wig cap can play a gentle protective role.
2.Choose a highly breathable material (breathable cap wig)
A wig cap with good breathability can keep the scalp dry and reduce sweat accumulation and scalp discomfort caused by lack of ventilation. Although this wig cap with better breathability may be slightly more expensive, it can effectively reduce damage to the hair, especially when the wig is worn for a long time. The more breathable cap can avoid overheating of the scalp and reduce the risk of hair loss.
3.Reduce the frequency of wig use
To protect your natural hair, try to reduce the continuous wearing time of the wig. Especially at night, it is recommended to take off the wig to give the hair time to "breathe" and return to its natural state. For people whose natural hair is not in good condition, it is more recommended to use glueless wigs, such as headband wigs or wear go wigs. These wigs are simple in design and do not require too many clips or hot tools, reducing the pulling and heat damage to the hair. However, V part wigs and U part wigs should be avoided because these two styles require part of the natural hair on the top of the head to be mixed with the wig, and the hot comb and the clips that come with the wig are used to fix it during installation, which is easy to cause damage to this part of the real hair.
4.Supplement fish oil
Fish oil is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and has a good maintenance effect on hair and skin. Choose a big brand of fish oil with food safety guarantee to ensure its quality and effect. If you live in a coastal city, you can eat more deep-sea fish, such as salmon, mackerel, etc. These fish are rich in beneficial fatty acids, which help improve the health of hair. For people who cannot get fresh seafood, fish oil supplements are a good choice, which can help promote hair growth and keep hair shiny and healthy.
5.Go to bed early and get up early
A good work and rest schedule is an important factor in ensuring hair health. Getting enough sleep can promote repair and regeneration in the body, especially at night, when hair repair and growth are more active. Long-term lack of sleep may lead to increased physical stress, which in turn affects the healthy growth of hair. Therefore, ensuring 7 to 8 hours of high-quality sleep every day can help improve the hair growth environment and reduce hair loss problems.
Through these methods, you can not only protect your hair from damage by wigs, but also effectively improve the overall health of your hair, making your wig wearing experience more comfortable and lasting.
