SCALP HEALTH WITH WIGS: PREVENTING ITCHING AND IRRITATION

Wearing a wig shouldn't mean an itchy, uncomfortable scalp. Proper technique and care prevent most scalp issues.

PART ONE: COMMON SCALP PROBLEMS

Problem #1: Itching

Cause: Usually glue buildup, poor air circulation, or product sensitivity.

Solution: Regular glue removal, daily removal of wig, proper cleansing.

Problem #2: Irritation or Rash

Cause: Glue sensitivity, dirty wig, or poor hygiene.

Solution: Switch to hypoallergenic glue, clean wig regularly, wash scalp daily.

Problem #3: Flaking or Dryness

Cause: Wig prevents moisture from reaching scalp, or scalp isn't being moisturized.

Solution: Remove wig nightly, moisturize scalp daily, deep condition hair underneath.

PART TWO: PREVENTION ROUTINE

Daily Scalp Care

1. Remove wig in evening 2. Wash scalp with gentle shampoo 3. Apply lightweight scalp oil or moisturizer 4. Let scalp breathe for 4-8 hours overnight 5. Reinstall wig in morning

Weekly Deep Care

1. Do a thorough scalp cleanse 2. Apply scalp treatment 3. Let wig off for entire day if possible 4. Massage scalp to improve circulation

PART THREE: CHOOSING THE RIGHT GLUE
