  Are you seeing wig shedding? Don’t worry! A bit of shedding can happen with both human hair and synthetic wigs. However, losing too much hair of wigs can be a problem. Several reasons, like daily use and not taking care of your wig properly, can cause this issue. This post will look at several reasons your wig could be shedding. It will also give you some useful tips to stop wigs from shedding.

  

  Pulling on wigs

  You may be causing the hair shedding yourself depending on how much force you are putting on your wigs. Things like scratching your head, sleeping on your wigs, wearing a tight wig cap, tying, or braiding your hair can all weaken the wig hair and cause it to shed. To counter this, notable best practices are to never strongly pull the hair and avoid too much friction. You can invest in a silk pillowcase, and never comb your hair after a shower when it’s still wet. When you sleep with a full cap wig or long hair hairpiece you can wear a silk wig cap as this can protect your hair from tangle and shed.

  Heat styling damage

  Using heat styling tools like hot combs, flat irons, and curling irons can help you make different styles with your human hair wig. However, too much heat can seriously harm the hair. This can cause shedding and breakage. High heat can dry out the hair, weaken it, and even damage the lace cap, especially if heat touches it directly. It is important to use a heat protectant and not to use excessive heat, as this can cause damage to the hair and the glue holding the wig together.

  Hair conditioner and hair oil

  If your wig has a hand-knotted component, such as wear and go wigs, m cap wigs, or 360 glueless wigs, applying hair conditioner or hair oil on the hair roots can loosen the knots and accelerate the shedding.
