Believe it or not wigs or extensions do require breaks. Wearing one for 2 months straight is not something I can approve of. If you do so the hair will begin to look unkempt and it will become harder to detangle as time goes by. So giving a break will allow the hair to rest. It will also give you the opportunity to try out more hairstyles! And when you remove it make sure you store it in a safe place because if just thrown anywhere dust can begin to collect. Avoid sleeping in it, it’s also a breeding ground for scruffy, messy hair.
A barrier
Before you wear your wig make sure you’re wearing a wig cap. Besides keeping the wig itself in place they also help reduce the friction between your actual hair and the wig, friction that can cause hair loss. Some of you might know that wigs can get itchy, a barrier can prevent that possible itchiness. And when wearing your wig cap make sure it’s the correct size, otherwise your scalp can begin to feel strained.
