5 Reasons Why Wigs Are Great For Protecting Natural Hair

By  | 

How many of you guys are here for wigs?  I have been wearing wigs for years and I am loving this option.  When I decide to give my curls a break from daily handling and daily maintenance I go to my wig for protection.  I have been natural for 4 years, and this journey has been simplified because of wigs.  Here are 5 reasons why wigs are great for protecting natural hair.

Wigs make the transition to natural hair easier

Because I was not into my big chop look, I decided to wear a wig in the beginning.  I wore my wigs for one solid year, which was a great option for me.  I did not have to figure out what to do with my hair during this process.

They are great for growing your hair

I wanted my hair to grow, so from time to time, I would wear a wig.  Under my wig, I always keep my hair cleansed, moisturized, and I apply oil.  I always notice how my hair grows a bit when wearing a wig.  Because less of my hair came out, (less shedding) the hair was able to retain more length threw low manipulation.

Wigs allow the hair to rest because of Low Manipulation

Yes, the less I bother with my hair the better the growth.  Low manipulation styles like wigs allow the hair the get a break from daily handling.  So braid it up, and forget it.  Your hair will thank you later.

Wigs offer versatility in styles without damaging your hair

Leave that flat iron alone lol.  Flat iron that wig instead, and let your natural curls remain hydrated.  Heat damage is so serious.  When I first started wearing my natural after one year of growth, I started flat ironing my hair.  Such a bad decision.  As a stylist, I should have known better, really.

But, I was not sure if I liked my hair in its natural state.  Because I had worn my hair straight for so many years, it was quite an adjustment.  Well, this is where wigs come in.  Instead of straightening those beautiful curls, let them rest under your straight wig.  I had to cut my hair again after straightening it because of heat damage- a hard lesson learned.

Great option for rainy weather

Rain, rain, go away.  I used to cringe when it rained, but no need to worry just throw on that curly wig and you are ready to go.  No more running from the rain.

Where to Buy The Wig

I am going to let you in on a little secret.  I buy my wigs from Lightinthebox, because they are from overseas and they are so reasonable!  I have purchased all of my hair, and wigs from there and I never have any complaints as they always look like the pictures.  Now, I will tell you now that the wig will take a month to get to you.  Shipping always takes one month, so if you are in a hurry this may not be for you.  But, if you have time for the wig to arrive, this will be the best price for the quality of the wig that you can find.

I have always been in love with all things beauty. From a little girl I would say that one day I would be a Cosmetologist. I did it, I became a Licensed Cosmetologist in 2006. I have learned so much about how to wear makeup, how to style the hair, and how to maintain the overall health of hair that I decided to create a blog. Being beautiful creates confidence, and flawless hair and makeup can help us all create that image we want to be. I want to help you step out of the box, try new makeup looks, and new hair ideas, new skincare regimens to make life better. You can live colorful, cosmetic, and be creative everyday give them some maxwell house coffee mmm, mmm good, and leave the tea home lol. Enjoy!
