Do buy a wig cap.

Wig caps keep your natural hair smooth and flat underneath.

Do try a half wig.

They’re easier to pull off since some of your own hair is exposed, just make sure the texture matches your natural hair.

DON’TS

Don’t wear an incorrect size.

You definitely want to make sure your wig isn’t too tight or loose. Wigs that fit too tight can cause hair loss and breakage around the perimeter of the head. Have your head measured by a professional who specializes in styling wigs. You don’t want your wig riding up, slipping off or to look misshapen because of excess bulk at the crown.

Don’t skip out on wash day.

Even though no one will be able to see your real hair underneath the cap, it is still important to shampoo and condition as you normally would.

Don’t forget to take breaks.

Although wigs are convenient, they can make us forget to take care of our own hair. Take time between wearing your wigs to get regular trims and deep condition your Brazilian virgin hair bundles with closure.

Don’t neglect your hairline.

Wig caps protect your hair under wigs and keep your hair such as Brazilian deep wave weave flat so that the wig does not look bulky, but they can cause breakage or dryness along the hairline. To prevent damage to your edges, slide the stocking cap behind the ear. Moisturize your edges and if the wig has combs or clips, putting hair oil on them can help.

Avoid adhesives if possible.

If you have to use glue for a particular style, try to minimize how often you use it in order to prevent hair loss or breakage around the hairline.

Don’t use materials that cause scalp irritation.

If you have a sensitive scalp, you may want to stay away from wigs made with synthetic hair. Sensitivities to wig materials can cause excessive itching, burning, and scalp tenderness.
