I was able to transition without cutting my hair by wearing wigs. Wigs are also great as a protective style. I prefer lace front wigs because they are not your grandmother's wigs. Wigs can be attached with tape or glue. I don't use either and pray that the wind won't blow it away. Just kidding. I use the adjustable straps to secure the wig to my head. I recently started wearing indian remi lace front wigs which look as close to real hair as you can get. Although I was not styling my natural hair on a daily basis, I still had to take certain maintenance steps.
Here are some tips for how to care for your hair while wearing wigs:
- treat the wig like a hat and take it off at home so your natural hair can breathe
- wash and condition your natural hair as needed
- wear a silk/nylon wig cap
- never put a wig on wet hair
When wearing wigs, its best to use products designed for wigs. Do not use a curling iron or flat iron on the wigs unless it is heat resistant. Store your wig on a wig stand.
I am wearing a shake-n-go lace front wig.
Do you have any tips about how to care for your natural hair while wearing wigs?
I was actually really interested in getting a curly lace front but I'm really worried about the hairline not blending or looking natural. Do you have any tips on making the hairline look more like a natural hairline?
ReplyDeleteI understand your concern. Here are some tips on applying a wig with glue to look like a natural hairline:
ReplyDeletePut the wig around the hairline and make sure it is aligned correctly on both sides. Begin to cut the front lace along the bottom side up to the center of the forehead leaving about a 1/4 inch in the front hair line. Remove the wig and apply bonding glue on the place where the lace front will be attached. Let the glue dry completely before putting the wig back on. Don't glue too close to your natural hair or you may damage your natural hair. Place the wig back on and check for proper positioning. Apply makeup to the hairline to blend the lace for a more natural look. I hope this helps.
Thank you! I'll try this as soon as I get that wig.
