Wigs have become increasingly popular as a fashion accessory or as a solution for individuals dealing with hair loss. However, a common question I often hear is "Do wigs damage your own hair?”
When someone is experiencing hair loss, the last thing they want is to cause more hair loss. I have hair (skinny hair is what I call it) and have worn wigs and hair pieces for years. Unfortunately, for me I still have the same amount of hair - no more & no less. The advantage is no matter how bad my own hair looks; I can throw on a wig and have great looking hair in a moment's notice.
However, there are factors that can cause issues and lead to potential damage to your hair. Let me explain, more below and what you can do to prevent any damage from wearing wigs.
Purchase the correct wig size.

Maintain Proper Wig & Hair Care
Maintaining a healthy hair care routine for your wigs along with your natural hair is essential. This includes regular washing and conditioning of your scalp and the wig itself. This will help ensure a healthy scalp and reduce any product build up or unwanted odors on both your hair and wig.
Also, follow the manufacturer's instructions for washing, drying, and storing your wig. By using gentle products and avoiding excessive heat styling you can help prolong the lifespan of your wig and minimize potential damage to your natural hair.

Cheap Wigs vs High Quality Wigs
Don't skimp on quality. Investing in a wig made of high-quality materials can make all the difference in how it feels and how natural looking your wig appears. The cheaper the wig is the stiffer the material used can be. Your higher quality wigs often have one or more features such as a lace front, monofilament, or even a 100% hand-tied cap.

- Go Easy on the Harsh Glues and be gentle when removing your wig.
- Use a wig grip, which helps to secure your wig and reduce friction between your natural hair and the wig. (The Wig Secure by Amy Gibson is my favorite.)
Conclusion
While wigs can be a fantastic accessory to achieve a great hairstyle, it is important to know how to care for your wig, how to select the correct size and understand the difference in wig quality. This will increase your likely hood of having a great experience wearing wigs and prevent any unnecessary damage to your hair or the wig.
