Hair loss is a significant problem that we all go through. One of the stylish replacements for hair loss issues is wigs. It helps cover up the hair thinning and makes up for hair loss. Wigs for women also come in different varieties that they have a lot of choices to choose from. However, there is one thing that stops many from using wigs – can wearing a wig cause hair loss?

Right fit
The critical factor in buying a wig is to get one that fits perfectly. Having a tight and small wig will lead to more damage and can affect your scalp. On the other hand, the right-sized wigs can make it a more comfortable experience.
Wig Cap
Whenever you wear a wig, you must use the wig cap, which will help maintain your hair’s natural oils and protect it from damage.
Take good care of your hair
This goes without saying. Proper care for your hair and wig is the best way to ensure wigs do not cause hair loss. It would help if you washed it regularly, got regular trims, and some gentle massages now and then.
No wigs on wet hair
One of the essential rules you should follow is to wear a wig only when your hair is dry. Wearing wigs when your hair is wet damages both the hair and the wig. It will not let hair dry entirely and lead to root damage. It will also make the scalp prone to breakage and infections.
No wig while sleeping
It is vital not to sleep wearing your wig. Sleeping in your wig could cause tangles and damage the base of the wig. So it will be difficult to untangle it often and can cause hair damage. Additionally, when you wear a wig while sleeping, you are restricting your natural hair and scalp from getting a chance to breathe. Since you are wearing it more often than not, it is advisable to remove the wig while going to sleep.
Some wigs can cause hair loss! Use them properly
Having said all this, some wig types could cause hair loss. For instance, super tight wigs can cause traction alopecia. Traction alopecia refers to hair loss which is caused by repeatedly pulling on your hair. Similarly, women’s human hair wigs that require gluing are not healthy for the hair. If you still prefer wigs that need gluing or bonding, you should go for only professional care.
Synthetic bands in wigs also cause damage. In addition, lace front and clip-in wigs can also damage the hair. Wondering how? Lace front and clip-in wigs are best to give you a natural look but using them regularly can lead to hair thinning and baldness in some regions of the scalp and damage your hair.
