3 Hair Care Tips for Wigs That Will Make Them Last Longer!

Wearing a wig can be one of the best ways to experiment with new color trends, lengths, and styles. However, when wearing wigs different hair care steps are needed than with your natural hair. Here are three tips that will help you keep your wig in good shape for longer!

First, try not to wear your wig when sleeping or exercising.  This can lead to tangling and matting which will result in an unkempt wig. Second, try not to use hairspray when you're wearing your wig. This can also cause unnecessary damage and may affect the lifespan of the wig.  Finally, try not to wash your wig every day-- this is because too much washing may cause buildup which will result in an unappealing wig after some time!

What Causes Damage to Your Wig

There are many ways your wig can be harmed. For example, if you wear it when sleeping or exercising, the wig can become tangled and matted. This will lead to an unkempt appearance and reduced lifespan of your wig.

Similarly, using hairspray on a daily basis will cause unnecessary damage to the wig. If you wash your wig every day, this could lead to buildup which will affect the appearance of your hair after some time.

Although wearing a wig may seem like an easy way to conceal thinning hair or bald spots, there are many things that can go wrong with it over time. It's important to take care of all aspects of your hair for it to last long-term. To learn more about these tips and other considerations for wearing wigs, check out the full blog post below!

How to Avoid Damaging Your Wig

You've invested time and money in your hair. But sometimes, we don't want to go through the trouble of washing and styling it. Thankfully, there's a solution: wigs! Wearing a wig is a great way for you to get out of bed and look like you put in some effort.

However, with this convenience comes some responsibility. After all, wigs are not as sturdy as our natural hair. We need to take care of it properly if we want it to last as long as possible.

If you're new to wearing wigs or just looking for tips on caring for them properly, here are three important tips:

-Don't wear your wig when sleeping or exercising.  This will lead to tangling and matting which can be detrimental over time

-Try not to use hairspray when wearing your wig.  Also avoid using too much hairspray at once.  Hairspray may affect the lifespan of you wig

-Try not to wash your wig every day.  Washing too often may cause buildup which will result in an unappealing wig

Conclusion

When you wear a wig, it is important to keep in mind that you are wearing a wig and not your own hair. This means that you need to put in a little extra care and maintenance in order to maintain the wig and keep it looking and feeling great.

Just like your own hair, the right type of shampoo and conditioner is essential for keeping your wig healthy and looking great. When you shampoo, use a conditioner to make sure that you are using the best products for the type of wig you are wearing.

Another tip is to use a wig cap when you sleep. This will keep your wig from tangling and will also keep it looking fresh. The last tip is to avoid increasing heat on your wig. Although heat can help to style it, it can also increase damage and decrease the lifespan of the wig.

So remember:

1) Use the right shampoo and conditioner

2) Use a wig cap

3) Avoid increasing heat on your wig
