How to Keep Your Own Hair Healthy While Wearing Synthetic Hair Wigs

Dec 09, 2014

Over the centuries, wigs have been worn to establish youth, hide baldness and to make a style statement. People who are looking for an economical or cheaper option can consider buying synthetic hair wigs. These cheap synthetic hair wigs with good quality come in unlimited styles and are accessible to anyone. However, it is important to take care of your own hair. Failure to properly maintain the health of your own hair while wearing a wig could actually lead to hair loss or damage.

1. Choose wigs with nylon netting that will let your own hair breathe. Avoid using cotton and nylon wig caps since they can hinder new hair growth and damage your hairline. Whenever possible use gel wig liners to protect your hair line and skin.


2. Shampoo and condition your hair regularly. Just because you are wearing a wig does not mean you can ignore your usual hair-care routine. After washing and conditioning your hair, always remember to dry it completely before putting on a synthetic hair wig. Putting a wig on over wet or damp hair creates a breeding ground for germs and fungus.


3. Have your hair professionally trimmed on a regular basis. Trimming your hair will remove split ends and damaged hair follicles, which will help keep your hair healthy. In addition to keeping your hair healthy by removing damaged hair, trimming on a regular basis also will lead to faster hair growth.


4. Wrap long hair around your head under the best synthetic hair wig or braid it. Avoid bunching your hair up under a wig or cap. Having your hair balled or folded under a wig could cause severe breakage. Keeping your hair braided or wrapped up neatly will help keep your hair healthy and, as an added bonus, will keep your wig even and in place.
