Why doesn’t the hair in your Lace Front Wig stay soft forever?Hair softness is all about the sebum, or lack thereof anyway. Each and every one of your natural, growing hairs is constantly being coated with a very fine layer of sebum. This is why your hair feels oily after several days of not washing (not that you’d go that long without washing your hair… right?)
What’s sebum? Glad you asked. Sebum is a natural semi-fluid secreted by the sebaceous gland. Your sebaceous glands are most commonly found attached to individual hair follicles where they can deposit sebum and bring it to the skin surface along the hair shaft.
This sebum coating helps to keep your natural growing hair hydrated, strong and soft.  Unfortunately the hair attached to your hair system doesn’t enjoy such a luxury.
When you order a lace front wig with human hair (as opposed to synthetic) there is always a small amount of sebum remaining on the hair strands. But constant wear and cleaning will eventually remove all traces leaving the hair in your system dry and brittle.
What can be done to keep the hair softer for longer?Maintaining a soft head of hair is a problem we all face. It’s one of those unfortunate and inevitable realities that come along with wearing a hair replacement system. But there are a few tips you might find helpful.
Keeping your hair replacement system from feeling like straw is just as much about what you don’t do as it is about what you do, do. Don't Dos (or at least try not do to): - Excessive shampooing
- Constant swimming and exposure to chlorine
- Blow drying your hair
Do Dos (if possible): - More conditioning, especially using leave-in conditioners
- Use hair care products that contain sunscreen
- Air dry your hair
