As we all know, wigs come in various materials and are mainly divided into human hair and chemical fiber. But many wig wearers are not very clear about why human hair wigs are said to be the best. What are the precautions for human hair wigs? Let’s answer these questions today.
Why are human hair wigs the best? In terms of materials, human hair wigs are made of healthy human hair. Made of our own hair and processed with special acid, they are semi-natural and healthy. After wearing, there will be no allergic reaction when in contact with the scalp. Moreover, human hair wigs have a relatively long service life. Due to the material, human hair wigs are not prone to frizz. The appearance and color can remain unchanged for a long time and are relatively stable. After grooming, they become very soft again. Therefore, as long as it is well cared for, it is no problem to use it for three to five years.
Can human hair wigs be dyed or bleached? Certainly, human hair wigs can be dyed into other colors. But just like our own hair, it is okay to dye the hair a darker color. However, bleaching or lightening human hair wigs is not recommended as it will seriously damage the hair. At the same time, be extremely careful when dyeing, and do not get dye on the wig cap as these colors are difficult to remove and will not look so realistic when worn. If you really want to dye your human hair wig, it is recommended that you go directly to a professional hairstylist to do it. In addition, if you have this plan from the beginning, it is recommended to choose a light-colored wig as it is easier to dye than dark hair.
Can real hair wigs be permed or straightened? Since dyeing is possible, perming or straightening is of course also possible. Whether it’s a men’s hairpiece or a woman’s long hair, it can be permed, dyed, straightened, and heat-set. For perms, different curvatures can be chosen, just like our own hair. The difference is that these operations will not damage our own hair and will not affect our health. The key is that it can be designed into many different styles, which chemical fiber wigs cannot do.
How often should wigs be washed? Different from our own hair that absorbs natural oils from the scalp and needs to be washed every two or three days. But wigs do not need to be washed frequently when worn on the head. They only need to be washed every 10 to 15 days or 2 to 4 weeks. The specific time depends on your living environment and activity level. However, for wigs, of course, the less they are washed, the better, so their service life will also be extended.
How should wigs be cleaned? ①Before cleaning: Be sure to comb the wig until it is smooth.
②Preparation for cleaning: Appropriate amount of warm water (20-30 degrees Celsius), just not cold when putting your hand in. Excessively hot water will affect the service life of the wig.
③Washing and care method: Add an appropriate amount of shampoo and stir to create foam. Wash by lifting up and down (note: Do not rub). Finally, rinse with clean water.
④Care: Add an appropriate amount of conditioner, evenly apply it to the hair strands. Wait for 3 to 5 minutes for absorption and then rinse with clean water.
⑤Drying method: After washing and caring, please use a clean towel to wrap the hair strands to absorb moisture until the hair strands no longer drip (note: Do not rub).
Drying and airing methods for human hair wigs: Utilize a low-heat setting to blow dry the wig until it is semi-dry, then apply hair essence for protection. If the wig is not completely dried, it is essential to place it in a well-ventilated area to air dry naturally.
