One of the most common questions for beginners who haven’t tried a wig before is: Will wearing a wig stop hair growth? Please read below to find the most professional answer.
Does Wearing A Wig Prevent Hair Growth?
No, wearing a wig doesn’t actually stop hair growth. But if the natural hair under the wig is not well cared for, wearing a wig can damage your natural hair and affect your natural hair growth.
Do Wearing A Wig Help Your Hair Grow?
In fact, wigs help you grow long, thick, healthy hair by protecting your natural hair. We know if straighteners, curling irons or blow dryers can cause undue damage to your natural hair. Conversely, wearing a wig can give you a quick and fun look, even if exposure to heat won’t harm your natural hair.
How To Promote Hair Growth When Wearing A Wig
1.Wash Your Natural Hair Regularly
There is no doubt that natural hair under a HD lace wig will be warmer and more prone to sweating. And sweat, oil, and dead skin cells build up on the scalp, which can easily clog the mesh cap inside the wig, causing scalp irritation. Therefore, it is very important for you to make sure that the natural hair under the wig is kept clean, which ensures that the natural hair under the wig is not affected by the extra heat.
2. Message Your Scalp
Regular massage has been shown to promote hair growth. So you can massage your scalp while shampooing, which increases blood flow, relieves stress, and delivers vital nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles.
3.Wear A Wig Cap
Wearing a wig cap is a great way to add a layer of protection between your natural and human hair wigs. That’s because it helps you hide your natural hair while wearing a wig to create a more natural look. In addition, increasing the gap between the hair and the wig by wearing a wig cap can reduce the build-up of bacteria and residues, thereby promoting healthy hair growth under the wig.
4.Keep Your Natural Hair Dry Before Putting On A Wig Cap
Remember, you can only wear a wig when your hair is completely dry. After all, damp hair can lead to a buildup of fungus and bacteria, which naturally can also cause more damage to your natural hair.
5.Don’t Forget To Moisturize Your Hair
Black women’s hair texture is notorious for needing as much moisture and moisture as possible. Due to the frizzy pattern of natural hair, it is often more difficult for natural scalp oils to flow down the strands, which often leads to breakage. So use some hair mask or moisturizing conditioner to keep your natural hair moist.
6.Give Your Natural Hair A Break
Going without a wig every few days will give your natural hair a break from your wig every now and then and prevent your natural hair and scalp from becoming overly dry or greasy. After all, letting oxygen into the scalp reduces the growth of bacteria and odors, and it feels so refreshing!
