How To Care For Natural Hair Under A Wig

Natural hair under wig haircare does not get enough discussion in the natural hair community. As a result too many women suffer.

Aside from being an easy way to switch up your style, wigs have the tendency to be utilized the most when you’re not in the mood to do your hair. Using wigs as a way to leave your house looking more presentable but neglecting to care for your own hair is something that many women fall victim to and, as a result, their hair winds up suffering the most. Natural hair under wig care is crucial to keeping your hair healthy and happy and all too often this does not get enough discussion.

New Study Finds Black Women More Prone To Hair Loss

Just recently we have been hearing more about black women suffering from hair loss because of wearing too-tight hairstyles, but neglectfulness of our own tresses while wearing extensions and wigs are also to blame.  The process of keeping your hair healthy underneath your wig is not a difficult one, but it is definitely necessary, especially if you’re wearing wigs as a protective style. Here are a few tips on how to care for your natural hair while wearing wigs:

Wash Your Natural Hair Under Wig Regularly

This may seem like a no-brainer, but keeping your own hair and scalp clean while wearing wigs is very important. Since your scalp is covered for the majority of the day, there’s a chance that sweat has been accumulating, which can cause an unpleasant smell. Co wash your hair weekly in order to rid the scalp of any sweat and dead skin that has started to build up even if you choose not to wash with shampoo that often.


Moisturize, Moisturize, & Moisture Some More!

Wig caps can suck the moisture right out of your hair, so remembering to moisturize the hair multiple times per week is very important. Once you finally get home, take the wig cap off, lightly spritz your hair with some water or a liquid leave-in and pat it into the hair. Don’t wet the hair too much; just spritz enough water to replenish some moisture into your strands. Make sure to NEVER place a wig on damp or wet hair!

Detangle and braid up the hair

If your hair is long enough to get tangled, you need to make sure it is detangled and braided down before applying your wig cap. Not only does this reduce the look of bumps under your wig, but it will prevent the hair from becoming matted from the friction against the wig cap.

Massage & Care For Your Scalp

Neglecting your scalp while wearing a wig is the worst thing you can do. Dry scalp and severe dandruff are two side effects of regular wig-wearing that is the easiest to contract. Apply anti-fungal oils such as tea tree mixed with carrier oils for scalp massages.

Let your hair and scalp breathe

Although you more than likely take the wig off at the end of the day, it is important to have a few days where you don’t wear the wig at all. Your scalp and hair strands need oxygen to thrive and keeping them tucked away underneath a wig and wig cap can cause the scalp to smell sour.

    My hair was severely damaged and hairline was thinning out. I really wanted to protect my hair, so I visited one of the top trichology clinics. Then finally I realised that I should wear wigs as they advised and most of the time I wore wigs. I was very happy with the progress which I achieved.

    Don't wash your hair every single day, eat healthily, drink plenty of water, and avoid heat or dye, unless used in moderation.

    You’ve got great tips for caring for your hair while wearing a wig. My sister is starting to grow her hair back from cancer treatments, but she still wants to wear a wig. I’ll tell her that she still needs to wash and moisturize all the time, like you said.
