Beneath your wig lies your precious strands, hidden and
tucked away. There is nothing wrong with
wearing a wig. It can be very
convenient, very trendy and can actually help to grow your hair when proper
precautions are followed. Here are some
ways that you can enjoy the flexibility
of wearing a wig while preserving your naturally
curly hair.
Wear a Wig Cap
Cover your hair with a wig cap every time you wear a
wig. When wigs are worn they can often
cause heavy friction between the hair and the wig. Protect your hair by covering with a smooth
wig covering to provide a barrier between you and the wig. This concept is very similar to nighttime
hair care. It is highly recommended to
sleep with a satin bonnet or pillowcase to lessen friction between you and the
pillow. The same principle applies
here.
Braid your Natural
Hair
Beneath the cap, lies your hair. Even if you are not a great stylist, braid
your hair in cornrows or plaits to join your hair in a collective fashion. This ensures that the hair is in a safe,
secure place, it allows the scalp to breathe and it provides a smooth palette
for smooth wig application. After braiding your hair, apply your cap and then
your wig.
Spray with a Daily
Moisturizing Spray
Herein lies a very important part of this process. Even though yo Bear in mind that after the hair sprouts from
the scalp, the only way to provide nourishment is through topical
products. Spray your hair with a leave
in moisturizing spray like Lavish Curls Moisturizer. You may spray your hair before or after you
braid your hair. A great time to provide
this moisturizer is at night or in the morning.
If you suffer from scalp challenges, this would be the appropriate time
to apply your scalp conditioner or apply some Lavish Curls directly
onto your scalp for a dose of hair food.
