If you are just starting your journey of wig wearing, you might be wondering if wearing a wig will stop your own hair from growing.  It is such an important question to ask.

In this post we want to share with you things you should consider doing to help encourage hair growth underneath your wig.  bout something else, can wearing a wig prevent any hair growth? Let’s find out!

Does Wearing A Wig STOP Hair Growth?

No, wearing a wig will not prevent your hair from growing.  You need to make sure that you are protecting the hair you have underneath your wig too.  Because if you don’t take good care of your hair, then you can experience hair damage. This does affect growth in the long run. 

You should consider doing these things:

  • Use a wig cap
  • Shampoo your hair
  • Take the wig off before sleeping
  • Avoid putting the wig on damp hair
  • Moisturise your hair
  • Wear a wig cap

Can a wig help you grow your hair naturally?

What’s great about wearing a wig is that it can be a wonderful part of protecting your haircare routine. It might even help you grow your hair in the long run. After all, a wig helps protect your hair from the elements, while also making sure there’s no hair damage. So it all comes down to the way you use it.

Ways to promote healthy hair growth while wearing a wig

  • We recommend washing and treating your hair as often as needed, but as we mentioned earlier don’t add your wig on top of damp hair.
  • Clean your wig, as you can avoid any sweat buildup. It doesn’t take a whole lot of time to clean the wig, but results can be amazing.
  • Try to leave a small gap between your wig and natural hair. That’s important because it delivers breathability, and it also offers you the best way to lower residue buildup, while reducing bacteria.

Conclusion

As you can see, wearing a wig won’t impede your hair’s growth. While you do need to take even better care of your hair if you wear a wig, the truth is that wigs will protect your hair in the long run. However, an adequate hair care routine is important, so try to stick with that and you will be fine. Simple things like wrapping your hair, having a wig cap or even having wig wearing breaks can be very useful!
