I just got my first wig...it has been one of my dreams to own one. It took me a year to finally find one that I felt looked natural and compliments me, if I must say so myself.

Anyways, I have a few questions for those who wear wigs or know people who wear wigs.

1) How do you wear your hair underneath, do u use a pretreatment before putting it on?

2) How often do you wear yours? I plan on wearing mine on Fridays and Saturdays?

3) Do you wash your wig? I washed mine after I purchased it because you can try on the wigs at the store and no telling who wore it and with WHAT in their hair.

4)Also, do you wear a stocking cap or anything under your wig?

 

Thanks everyone!

well what kind of wig did you buy? is it a lace front? or is a normal regular wig? I think with anywig a stocking cap should be worn under neath to make sure your hair is kept well you should actually wash and oil your hair cornow it before you put your wig on! washing the wig is alright but not too much! especially if it is not real hair! HTH

I only washed it  right after I purchased it...because customers  can try on the wigs. So I made sure, mine was clean.  Well I only want to wear my wig on saturdays and I can't cornrow. But I asked someone today how they wear their hair when they wear their wig and they told me that they wear their usual style but with a  wig cap and then place the wig on. It will be too much manipulation for me to cornrow my hair for one day and then take it down because I want to not wear the wig the next day. 

O yeah, I have a regular wig I guess it has alot of spiral curls so you can't see my hair line cause the curls dangle all over.  

The wig have 2 hooks in the book....look kinda like bra strap things do you know what they are for? I think I'm going to remove them.

1) How do you wear your hair underneath, do u use a pretreatment before putting it on? Well my mom wears one everyday and I keep her hair braided in cornrows underneath, I just shampoo and deep condition and cornrow it up.

2) How often do you wear yours? I plan on wearing mine on Fridays and Saturdays? She wears hers everyday (to work) but once home it comes straight off LOL and if she dont have to go anywhere she does not wear it.

3) Do you wash your wig? I washed mine after I purchased it because you can try on the wigs at the store and no telling who wore it and with WHAT in their hair. Yep, after every shampoo she does I go right ahead and wash her wig with a wig shampoo.

4)Also, do you wear a stocking cap or anything under your wig? A stocking/wig cap HTH

 

Thanks everyone!
