Tips To Avoid Hair Shedding And Tangling

Do you struggle with human hair wigs falling out and tangling? Is your hair falling out all over the house? I will take you through the causes of wig shedding and tangling and how to stop it.

The truth is that shedding is the nature of human hair, just like the hair that grows naturally on your own scalp. According to studies, the hair on a human head sheds 50-100 strands per day. Hair sewn onto lace and wefts has a similar effect. Don't be alarmed if you see a small amount of hair coming loose from your lace wig/weft, this is common with all hair extensions.

However, shedding more than usual or more than expected is not normal. One reason for excessive shedding is tangles. Any wig, even a real human wig, including our own naturally growing hair, will tangle if not cared for properly. But because our own hair produces natural oils, it prevents it from becoming dry and dull. Your wig, however, will not. As a result, wigs are usually more prone to tangling than our own natural hair.

How we can do to prevent your hair from shedding and tangling?

1.  Comb the hair correctly

Never comb the hair when it is wet! To avoid these tangles, brush your hair on a daily basis. When combing wavy hair, please use with wide-tooth comb and start with the ends, 2 inches at a time, and slowly work your way up. Do not brush too hard, if you brush the hair too hard, the wavy patterns will fade gradually and the knots on the lace to loosen, possibly causing shedding.

2.  Minimize the use of hot tools

Although we has always provided high quality 100% human hair wig, and constantly improves the quality of human hair, so that wigs can be styled with hot tools, but frequent use will also cause damage to the hair, resulting in drying and shedding. When using hot tools, Find correct temperature for hair style. We suggest temperatures under 200F degrees for colored hair, and under 250F degrees for natural colored hair to avoid dryness. Time control is very important, Do not leave any hot tools on the hair for no more than 10 seconds. Apply some morocco oil and elastin to keep the hair soft, or you could also apply some hair spray will keep the hair style durable for whole day.

3.  Don’t sleep with the wig

It’s not recommended to sleep with your wig, because the friction between the wig and pillow will damage your hair and cause hair drying and tangle, especially for curly human hair wigs and long human hair wigs. If your hair is sewn in, wear a satin bonnet. This will help prevent the tangling.

4.  Detangle your hair

Detangle your hair before washing and styling. Not detangling your hair can actually cause the hair to shed more than expected. Another important step to detangle is using the right method. Use your fingers to comb sections of the hair with a light conditioner or Moroccan oil to detangle. Using fine combs aren’t recommended. Curly textures require more care than straight or body wave textures.

5.  Condition your hair regularly

Lack of hydration can also cause shedding. Shampoo and condition your hair appropriately, to maintain it moisturized. Do not use products that contain sulfate, parabens, alcohol as these will dry out hair and cause tangling including shedding. Don’t forget to use deep conditioners and hair masks on a weekly basis, these products can give a little extra moisture to your hair.
