Wearing wigs frequently can lead to damage to your hairline over time. The wig-bonding glue can get stuck in your hair, and forcefully removing it can cause you to lose your hairline.
Depending on how you install your wig your hairline can suffer the consequences if you remove it incorrectly. TikTok creator @riiaa.scoils on the app shares tips on how you can maintain and grow your hairline while wearing wigs.
In her video, the creator’s hairline tips are:
- Brush your hair back before your installation regardless of whether you wear a wig cap or not.
- Apply an adhesive spray in the front of the hair, adding that, beginners should use concealer to map out where the glue goes.
- She suggests not getting your wiglines done too tightly as it could pull out your hairline.
- She adds that before purchasing hair growth oils you need to fix the problem of excessive tension in the hairline or it will never grow back.
@riiaa.scoils Hair growth oils are only a bonus, if you don’t address the problem(excessive tension), YOUR HAIRLINE WILL NEVER GROW BACK. #naturalhairtiktok #wiginstall #wiginfluencer #wigtok #hairgrowthtips #fypシ゚viral ♬ Tshwala Bam (feat. S.N.E, EeQue) – TitoM & Yuppe
According to the haircare hub, Simply Wigs UK, it is important to remove your wig before you sleep as they tend to limit the blood flow to the scalp, adding that, you should wash your hair regularly even if you are not changing your wigs. The haircare hub advises wig lovers to constantly wear wig caps before installations so that their hairline can be protected.
