So why do I lose hair from my lace front wig?

Simply put, friction and bacteria. They're a dangerous duo that can wreak havoc on your hair system. But you can fight back...

Together or on their own, friction and bacteria can cause physical trauma to your hair. Limiting this trauma will help prevent hair in your hair system from falling out and keep it looking its best for longer. 

 

Cut down on fiction.

Hair lace Front  Wigs are vulnerable to friction because they lack a substance called Sebum.

Sebum is a natural oil secreted by the follicles of your growing hair to lubricate and protect the hair shaft against friction and static.

A major cause of friction comes from sleeping with a pillowcase made from coarse materials. The constant contact with linen leads to hair breakage. Most times, simply using a satin pillowcase will dramatically reduce the level of friction and extend the life of your hair system.

Avoid wearing hats or helmets for extended periods of time. This will also help to lengthen the time bonding adhesives stay effective.

Friction is also caused by excess combing and brushing. Using a lubricanting agent like Spray Gel Mist will moisten the hair and reduce friction while you're in front of the mirror stylin' the doo. 

 

Keep out bateria.

Bacteria build up will destroy hair structure and cause it to weaken and break. The knots where the hair is tied into the system are most vulnerable as they tend to hold and retain moisture.

It is better not to use rinse type conditioners that contain hydrolyzed proteins like panthenol (pro-vitamin B5). Instead, spray on leave in type conditioner may be a better alternative as it tends not to collect in the  lace front wig  knots as easily.

However, using a shampoo that contain these hydrolyzed proteins is recommended. This is because the hair in your lace front wig will absorb the proteins during the cleaning process and the excess is more likely to be rinsed away. 

 

Review Time:

• Friction and bacteria are the bad guys.
• Use a satin pillowcase when sleeping.
• Avoid wearing hats or helmets
• Avoid excessive combing of dry hair
• Do not use rinse type conditioners that contain protein
• Do use shampoos that contain protein
