So hello, i'm daddy saint claire and my mission - is phenomenal: hair phenomenal you so for everything hair. I am your connect, but i have an addiction to self growth and i'm passionate about enlightening all those in my circle and today we have a hair video in today's video i'm going to go over the top 10 ways to protect your edges whilst wearing wigs. I did a previous video on this and, if you haven't watched it already, i highly recommend that you do. It was called. Is your wig killing your edges since then? I'Ve seen all of your comments. Thank you. I'Ve seen all your questions and i've also discovered new ways that you can protect your edges whilst wearing wigs. So let's go the first. I'M going to discuss is protecting your edges by so tankless hair. Our mission is phenomenal: hair phenomenal use if you're looking for amazing hair extensions that can last up to seven years it doesn't shed, doesn't tangle, holds curls bleaches to pure blonde is single donor source has one way cuticle formation. Basically, if you're looking for phenomenal hair extensions and undetectable hd lace, closures and frontals, then visit saint clair's hair sew in silk on the inside of your wig cap. So this you would do with a closure wig as opposed to a frontal wig um, because your frontal goes from ear to ear. So you wouldn't have anywhere to sew the silk to protect your edges without that silk being seen through the lace, but for closure. Wigs, which are typically four by four five by five six by six so from here, would be a closure and then you'd have your wig caps sitting on your edges, which can cause frictional alopecia and what you do is you'd simply sew a piece of satin or Silk along the part of the wig cap that sits on your hairline and what this is going to do is it's going to prevent, moisture loss and it's going to prevent friction against your hairline and that friction along your hairline can cause hair loss. It can cause breaking and that constant rubbing is one of the reasons why people begin to see their edges just deteriorate when they start wearing wigs. So that's one protective measure that you can take so that you can protect their edges and still enjoy wearing your closure. Wigs now, the next thing that we can do focuses on the hair at the nape of your neck and that's something that a lot of people don't speak about. But it's an issue just as much as your hairline disappearing is an issue. So most wigs you'll have the band that helps to hold the wig in place and keep it tight and secure and you'll also have the straps as well, and those can actually cause hair loss at the nape of your neck with the straps they tend to get Caught in hairs and then in the process of trying to free them, you end up ripping out your hair and doing this over and over and over again. Of course, you're going to begin to see that the the nape of your hair has gone on holiday again with the wig band, if it's too tight or if you're just wearing it every day, and it's shifting you're going to experience, friction back there and then before You know it when it's time for you to come and wear a ponytail you'll realize that something is missing and for this one i'd recommend sewing silk on the elastic band, so that it prevents friction and moisture loss at the nape area and then, regarding the straps. You just want to be extra careful and you can maybe opt not to use them if you find that they keep on getting caught in the back of your neck, especially when those cameras are fresh. That one feels like hold still so. The next thing that we are going to do to protect our edges whilst wearing wigs is we're going to opt for low tension. Cornrows. You can actually ask your stylist or whoever is cornrowing your hair to release their grip. It'S not by force that they use concrete hand or, like my mom likes to say, aradite's fist, it's not by force. You must use aradite's fist to come and cornrow my hair, especially my precious villas hairs along my hairline right. My mum is the only one who cornrows my hair and she knows exactly how i like it. She uses a very light hand. In fact, when she was carrying my hair yesterday, i was like oh mommy. It just feels like even giving me one kind of head, massage doesn't even feel like cornrows at all, and it's still very nice. It'S still very neat. It may not last as long but to be honest, you shouldn't really be having your cameras in for ridiculous amounts of time. Anyway, you should be trying to wash your hair every seven to ten days. Sometimes i push two weeks, so it doesn't really matter that my corner is not gripping my scalp for life, because they're gon na come out pretty soon. If your stylist respects your edges, they will release that claw grip. So another thing we can do to protect our hair whilst wearing wigs is using satin lined wig caps. So you place it behind your hairline, where it can't be seen once you're wearing your lace unit now wearing a satin line. Wig cap would make it difficult to use wig combs and if you watch my previous video, i suggest how you should use wig combs to reduce frictional alopecia. And so, if you are going to wear a satin lined wig cap, then in order to reduce friction or just to avoid your wig just straight up slipping off. If you would need to secure your unit down with either an adhesive such as got to be, or whichever preferred lace glue you like and remember whatever adhesive you use, you are not placing it on your hairline you're, placing it in front of your hairline. Don'T let that adhesive touch them precious, baby hairs. So the next thing that we can do - and i didn't cover this in the last video - because i think they were still quite new at the time, but it was with grips. So if you want to protect your edges, you can opt to use wig grips now. I have tried them, but i'm not crazy about them. Only because i felt like the wig grip placed tension, just very slight tension on my head and so that tension coupled with the tension of the wig. For me, it was just a little bit too much and i could also see it through the lace, especially my hd lace. I'M not really an advocate for wig grips um. Other people have said that they find they perspire with them, because some of them are made of silicone. However, i bought some any old wig grips off amazon, and so i wouldn't write them off completely because of my experience, because there are many popular wig grips out there and maybe, if you use them you'll find that they are better quality or that you don't have The same issues that i had placing your wig on clean dry hair is a must, as well as washing your wig itself. Frequently the reason i say that is because one i know that some people like to wash their scalp whilst their hair is still in cane rose. And if you wash your scalp, then obviously your hair will get wet too. And if you don't leave it to dry properly, before putting your wig back on then you're going to create a damp environment which will be a breeding ground for bacteria. And that can lead to scalp inflammation, which could then lead to other conditions and it could result in hair loss. So if you are going to wash your scalp whilst it's still in cane rose and you plan to still wear wigs, then you're going to want to make sure that your hair is completely dry before you reapply your wig. You also want to use products that contain antimicrobial properties and help to fight bacteria rosemary, which is one of the ingredients in the saint claire's. Hair spray is perfect for this, so i recommend, whilst wearing your wigs, you spray your hair down with the spray. It'S amazing because, as well as moisturizing your hair, whilst wearing wigs, it also stimulates hair growth. So you want to apply it to them edges, because you will see wonderful results if you have experienced hair loss and it will also just help your edges to continue to flourish and thrive. Another way that we're going to protect our edges and our hair whilst wearing wigs is, we are going to look at the products that we are using and in particular edge control. So when you first cornrow your hair in preparation for wearing your wigs, you might not need to use edge control because it's still very neat. However, as time goes on, you might need to opt for edge control. And if you do, you want to stay clear of ingredients that contain alcohols that dry out your hair. You want to opt for products that contain healthy alcohols and i'm going to do a separate video about that, because that in itself is long, so wig combs. I touched on wig combs the last time. However, i only spoke about the weekend that you find sometimes at the top of certain wigs, and i said that you should use wig combs because they prevent frictional alopecia. Now some wigs come with with combs that sit just on the hairline, and i personally would avoid using those wig combs just ever. I would even remove them from the wig, because, when you're putting your wig on and when you're taking it off, sometimes those with combs can get caught in your hair. Again, this happening over and over again is going to cause your hairline to thin out. So if you are going to use the wig cone stay away from the ones that are placed at your temples and if you cannot even stay away from the ones that are placed at the nape of the neck, because if you don't handle them with care again, You'Ll begin to find that your hair is molding, so another way that we are going to protect our edges and hair whilst wearing wigs is by using the bold cap method with the bold cap method, all of your hair is completely tucked away, and so, when you Put your wig on there's no chance of hairs getting caught, getting snagged, getting broken, getting catched, getting snatched getting waxed, there's no chance for any of those things to happen, because your hair is securely hiding underneath a stocking cap. The only thing with this method is, it can be quite difficult to do by yourself if you've never done it before it can be time consuming. Also, typically, those who opt for the bold cap method tend to keep their wigs on for days at a time. My last video i mentioned that you should avoid sleeping with your wig because of the tension that is placed on your head whilst wearing a wig. You want to at least give your scalp and your head just time to breathe time for the circulation in that area. To just flow freely, if you don't already know the nutrients in your blood assist strong, healthy hair growth, so you just want to allow for your scalp and your hair to breathe, which is why i recommend not sleeping in wigs. So if you find that you're doing all the right things when it comes to wearing wigs and it's still affecting the quality of your hair and your hairline, then there may be an underlying condition that you haven't yet identified. And in this instance, i would seek the help of a trichologist or a gp or a dermatologist. I am a qualified psychologist. However, i don't offer consultations, but there are many. There are many, many really good qualified trichologists women of color who are experienced in this field, who you can seek advice from the reason i took my trichology course was because i wanted to have a much better and scientific understanding of the hair and scalp so that, When i assist people on what products to use or what to do, i'm able to give them an informed answer, as opposed to something that i heard on youtube university. So i hope you found this video just as helpful as the last one like i said before. Just because you can buy a wig from saint claire's with a hairline that looks like god gave it to. You himself doesn't mean that you should actually neglect the hairline that god gave you you
