Most wigs are good, some are fabulous. Want to know what makes the difference? Quality craftsmanship and regular care. Wigs have come a long way from the old one-size-fits-all solutions. Today, wigs are made from durable but light materials. They feel and look just like real hair, which is a blessing as far as special hair is concerned.
African American wigs offer high quality hair for the African American. Many people make the mistake of treating wigs just as they would treat their real hair. But wigs are not the same as real hair. Even those wigs that are made from human hair. If you’re not going to take proper care of these babies, you are literally throwing them into the trash can. Besides, many of the best quality wigs are hand sewn and even have real hair. These need regular care and maintenance. Even those that are made of synthetic material need proper maintenance.
So, here are a few tips to help you take proper care of your African American wigs.
Instructions for regular use:
African American wigs have the natural curly hair style, texture and look of the African American. So, it may be tempting to roll an iron through them but these wigs need to be preserved without any curling or heating. Synthetic hair can be frizzed if a heated coil is used on them. Excessive heat of any kind, whether from curling irons or ovens and fireplaces, are a strict no for wigs. The plastic wig cap can melt if excessive heat is applied.
Your wig does not need the legendary hundred strokes a day. Brushes made for human hair can stretch the fiber of the wig. Brush your wig sparingly using a special brush. This is true even if you have a real hair African American wig.
Do not use the wig in a swimming pool or with any strong chemicals. By the same coin, bleaching and coloring are taboo.
Instructions for washing:
If you are using your African American wig regularly, you need to pay special attention to washing and drying it. There are no ground rules about how often you have to wash your wig. If you are indoors most of the time, you can go for 12-15 days without a wash. If you’ve just visited the smoky interiors of a bar or club, you may want to wash all the smoke out of your hair immediately. How often you wash your wig depends on how much you use it outside, the humidity and climate of the place you stay in.
Wash your hair gently with cold water. You may use a wig shampoo. Swish the wig gently in water and run cold water over it after shampooing. After washing, blot it dry gently using a soft towel. Never ever wring the wig. Adding a conditioning spray makes your wig look soft and natural. Leave the wig open to the air for drying. Keep it in a shaded, cool place. Never blow dry it. Do not comb the wig until it is completely dry.
Taking good care of your hair wigs ensures that your wigs last long and keep looking fresh and buoyant. Good care and maintenance is the only way in which you can get the best value for your money. Otherwise, even the best material is of little use.
