Hair Care Tips for Your Scalp and Medical-Grade Wigs

Maintaining the health of your scalp and the longevity of your medical-grade wigs requires some knowledge and routine care.

Here are some key tips to help you:

Scalp Care

Gentle Cleansing

Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse your scalp. Keeping your scalp clean is important, but harsh products can cause dryness and irritation.

Moisturize

Apply a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to your scalp to keep it hydrated. Avoid heavy products that can clog pores and lead to buildup under your wig.

Sun Protection

When not wearing your wig, protect your scalp from the sun's harmful UV rays by wearing a hat or applying sunscreen specifically designed for the scalp.

Medical-Grade Wig Care:

Cleaning

Clean your wig every 6-8 wears, or more often if you use heavy styling products. Use a shampoo and conditioner specifically designed for synthetic hair, if applicable, and wash gently to avoid tangling.

Drying

Avoid heat when drying your wig. Instead, blot it gently with a towel and let it air dry on a wig stand to maintain its shape.

Storage

Store your wig on a wig stand or mannequin head when not used. This helps it keep its shape and prevents tangling and damage. If you need to store it longer, keep it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

Styling

You can style your wig just like your natural hair, but avoid high heat as it can damage the fibers. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for wigs to detangle and style it.

Regular Maintenance

Regularly check your wig for signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage or thinning, it may be time to repair or replace your wig.

Remember, taking care of your scalp and wig will make you feel comfortable and confident and extend your wig's life.
