Does it prevent your natural hair growth?
The professionals say NO! If you know how to carefully plait, weave, or braid your natural strands underneath your wig, your hair will grow at its usual pace. That said, it is important to air your extensions and your strands regularly. Wash your natural hair and condition it as you normally would, and a wig won’t affect the growth.
Additionally buying it with a cap that allows good air ventilation across your scalp is important. If your scalp is sticky and perspiring it will affect the way on your looks.
Professionals and hairstylists agree that using a good-quality hairpiece significantly prevents natural balding. Don’t opt for a low-end cheap one as these synthetic caps will tend to damage your health.
What happens if I wear a low-quality piece?
These cheap items damage your scalp, so let’s look at the reasons why:
- When we wear a rug that is not of the best possible quality our scalp perspires, this is a natural secretion from our sweat glands in our skin. When you are not wearing it this perspiration naturally evaporates into the air. If the hairpiece you are wearing is not good quality then this perspiration gets trapped in between the scalp and the wig. Perspiration is the way in which your body naturally controls heat and eliminates toxins through the skin. A hairpiece made from low grade products will not allow the perspiration to escape from your scalp and evaporate into the air. This will cause heat damage to your scalp and to itself after a period of time. This trapped perspiration will eventually contribute to loss of your natural hair, whether in patches or gradually.
- Perspiration that becomes trapped underneath the extensions will, unfortunately, get mixed with bacteria and may result in infection of the sweat glands on your scalp. The bacteria might become infected and additionally will cause an odor to you. This is something you want to avoid at all costs. After all, you are wearing a luscious-looking piece to look and smell good, right? So do your self-confidence the justice it deserves and buy a high-quality breathable product.
- Usually extensions that are of low quality require extensive adhesives to make it sit comfortably on your head and not slip off. These adhesives are damaging to the follicles on your scalp. Long-term use of adhesives will damage your scalp as well as the extensions.
