With statistics indicating that almost half of all women wear wigs for convenience or fashion, wigs are no longer just a right of passage for people with hair loss; they are a way to express yourself every day.

Is It Okay to Wear a Wig Every Day?

Of course, you can wear a wig every day, but there is a catch! Daily wear can cause additional wear and tear, particularly on human hair wigs. Taking appropriate care of your scalp and wig is essential. Take it off at night, switch out your wigs, or occasionally give your scalp a break to allow it to breathe. Your scalp will benefit from keeping your wig comfy, clean, and fresh, especially if you wear it daily.

How do you shower with a wig on?

No, we don’t recommend! A wig cannot be worn when taking a shower. Hot water and non-organic shampoo can shorten the wig’s life by causing damage to its strands. You should remove your wig before showering. If required, carefully wash the wig with wig-specific shampoo and conditioner in compliance with the suggested care recommendations. Place the wig on a wig stand to dry for best results and to extend its life.

Thermal tools such as curling irons should also be used sparingly, as wigs are real human hair and heat can damage a wig as much as it can damage your own hair. If you have a synthetic wig, be careful not to use excessive heat; you can use heat according to the instructions that came with the wig.
