How Can I Extend My Wig?

Wigs are an excellent option for women suffering from damaged hair or hair loss. Wigs not only help you feel beautiful, but more confident as well. With wigs, you can choose a different hairstyle for every occasion. The choices are unlimited! But you probably have one main wig that you wear a majority of the time. Wearing one wig all the time can cause some wear and tear so you ask yourself: “How can I extend my wig and make it last longer?” You’re in luck, because there are a few tricks and products you can use to extend the life of your wig before being forced to buy a new one:

Knot Sealer

Most wigs are lace-front wigs which means the hairs are individually knotted and tied to the lace. Constantly wearing your wig creates friction on these knots: the wig cap rubbing against your scalp as you move around, putting your wig on and taking it off, etc. This friction causes the knots to loosen which then causes shedding. Shedding will result in gaps in your wig cap and alter the appearance of your wig. You can easily avoid this process with knot sealer. There are many options for knot sealer so talk to you wig expert at Rosalind Stella’s Wig Boutique for advice on which one is best for you and your wig.

Apple Cider Vinegar

No matter what type of wig or hair you have, apple cider vinegar is a great tool to keep your wig hair looking as pristine as the day you bought it. Apple cider vinegar works like silicon mix, just without the silicon. It seals the cuticles of the hair, keeps your hair soft, and tangle and frizz free.

Fray Block

The material of your wig cap will ultimately begin to fray as you wash it more often. Much like knot sealer, fray block will help keep your wig from fraying and unraveling too soon.

The most important thing to do to extend the life of your wig is to use proper wig care products. While your wig may seem like real hair, it is important to remember that it needs extra care.
