If you have thin hair, how should you control the rhythm of wearing a wig, and how to maintain a beautiful posture without damaging your hair, the following is a one-week schedule.
*Monday｜Wig cleaning day (performed every 1-2 weeks)
✅ Wash wigs with cold water and use a dedicated sulfate-free shampoo
✅ Use conditioner for deep conditioning, especially for human hair lace wigs which are more prone to drying
✅ Air dry naturally on a wig stand, avoid using a hair dryer (which will make the wig frizzy)
✅ Take care of your scalp at the same time: lightly apply castor oil or rosemary essential oil and massage for 10 minutes
-Recommended wig-specific shampoo: SheaMoisture, Mielle Organics, OGX (gentle and moisturizing)
*Tuesday｜Braiding & Wig Protection Primer Day
✅ Braid your natural hair into flat braids or twists with appropriate tightness
✅ Wear a silk or satin wig cap as a primer (protect your scalp + prevent friction)
✅ Spray a no-rinse spray before putting the wig on to keep the wig moisturized
-It is not recommended to wear a wig made of nylon cap, will rub the scalp and cause hair breakage!
*Wednesday｜Scalp “Breathing” Day (Scalp Detox)
✅ Let the wig “rest” for 1 day to allow the scalp to ventilate
✅ Spray moisturizing spray on natural hair (recommended homemade: distilled water + glycerin + a few drops of lavender oil)
✅ Spray castor oil/hair growth essence (such as Mielle Rosemary Oil) before going to bed and massage the hairline
*Thursday｜Nutrition + Psychological Double Cultivation
✅ Supplement essential nutrients for hair growth (zinc, iron, vitamin D, biotin)
Recommended: salmon, eggs, spinach, nuts, black beans
✅ Meditation, stretching, and relaxation. High stress can also cause hair loss!
*Friday｜Wig Styling Day (Light Heat Styling)
✅ You can use low-temperature hair straighteners or curling irons to style human hair wigs or select some wig hairstyles.
✅ Be sure to use heat protectant before styling
✅ For natural hair, use the usual no-rinse spray to nourish the scalp + hair roots
-Although human hair wigs can be styled, the frequency should be controlled, no more than 1-2 times a week
*Saturday｜Essence + wig care day
✅ Use Pura D’or or Briogeo hair growth essence to rub the scalp
✅ Check if the wig hairline is clean and if there is any glue residue, and remove the residual glue in time
✅ Comb the wig + apply a layer of light oil care (such as Moroccan oil or Argan Oil)
*Sunday｜Complete relaxation day
✅ Do not wear a wig, let the scalp relax completely
✅ Do not comb or pull, just do basic moisturizing
✅ Drink water, get enough sleep, let the body adjust as a whole, and the hair will get better
Special suggestion for wig wearing and maintenance:
Wig fixing methods like trying to use adjustable straps at first, and reducing the glue used. Consider the wigs like wear and go wigs, human hair half wigs, which are glueless.
For your natural hair care, take care of the hairline every night, focusing on the edges to prevent “hairline receding”.
Also, take off the wig before going to bed.
Spray light oil or moisturizing water every two days to prevent the wig from tangling.
