Thinking about getting a braided wig? There are some things that you should know to help you along the way. Braided wigs, also called dreadlocks, have been worn by people all over the world since ancient times because of their versatility and affordability. Let’s look at some of the most important things that you should know about braided wigs if you’re thinking about buying one for yourself or for your child. (Hint: this might be even more important than what you think about when getting any sort of wig.)
How To Wear A Braided Wig?
The first thing that you should do when purchasing a braided wig is read its label carefully. All of your styling and maintenance questions can be answered by reading it. Also, remember to always use sulfate-free shampoo or hair products and don’t wash your wig as often as you wash your real hair. Most wigs come with care instructions, so you won’t have to worry about what kind of conditioner to use and all those other details. Usually, a simple weekly application of heat protector is enough for proper care and maintenance. If there are any tangles in your wig, we suggest using a wide tooth comb or soft bristle brush instead of a regular brush which could cause excessive shedding or damage to your unit.
Best Styles
A common concern among African American women is how to make their hair appear as natural as possible. The best-known approach is wearing cornrows or a weave, but there are also other ways of achieving that goal. One of them is braiding hair with extensions and then weaving it into your real hair. This works well because many different hairstyles can be created using these types of extensions and you can choose those that help hide that they’re not your own hair.
Can I Wash My Hair Piece?
The short answer is yes! Taking care of your hair is important, no matter what kind of hair you have. It keeps it looking healthy and beautiful for years to come, so take good care of it! Just remember that if you’re wearing a lace front wig, make sure to remove any straight-edged pins from its part before washing it. This will prevent tears or snags in your unit when you run water through it. If you have one, use a round-tipped comb to gently detangle your hair with conditioner in between washes—but don’t use any products that contain alcohol as they can dry out your weave quickly. Also avoid shampoos with sulfates as they can strip moisture from synthetic fibers over time.
Do I Need To Get Them Trimmed Regularly?
If you are buying a cheap synthetic braid wig, then it is probably a good idea to get them trimmed on a regular basis. However, if you have invested in a great human hair braid, then it is not necessary to trim them that often. If they start looking unkempt and scraggly though, then go ahead and take them to your stylist. They can cut it right at their salon or advise where else you can go to get some help with your prized hair piece. Before trimming, make sure that you are braiding all of your natural hair back first so as not to get it caught in anything or break off any of your precious tresses.
How Long Do They Last?
When they’re braided, extensions typically last longer than a human hair weave would. However, after so many months or years of wear and tear, your braids could become damaged and will need to be taken out. It may also be possible for you to damage them by putting too much stress on them when styling or washing your hair. If that happens, you’ll need to have your braids redone in order to continue wearing them. To ensure that doesn’t happen, make sure you take good care of your braids—wash and deep condition them at least once every few weeks—and don’t style them too aggressively with heated tools like flat irons or curling wands.
When And How To Get Them Replaced?
Natural hair wigs are expensive pieces of equipment. It makes sense to invest in one but you should know when and how to get it replaced. People have different reasons why they want a new wig but it is important that you stick to some simple guidelines when deciding whether or not your wig needs replacing. These tips will help you make an informed decision about whether or not to get a new wig.
