With the newness coming this season, all of us are looking toward the latest summer hair color trends. Wondering what the best hair colors for summer are? And how you are going to try the while protecting your natural hair? Here’s our gameplan.
To try new fall hair colors, we’re choosing weaves and wigs. To achieve the summer hair color trends of your dreams, be sure to choose styles that can be dyed just the way you want.
Weaves and wigs have been used as stylish protective styles whenever we need to give our natural tresses a break, or just to switch things up. A ‘protective’ style can easily go the opposite route without the proper precautionary care – and no one wants that. Get the most out of your wig and keep your real hair healthy with these ten vital tips! Use this as a wig regimen to grow your hair.
Make sure you wear a cap under the wig
As ready as you might be to slay, wait a second sis. We know you want to try those new summer hair colors but first things first: grab a wig cap. As long as you are rocking your wig make sure your wig cap comes with it. You want to avoid putting the wig directly onto your braids/head because it can snag and pull your hair which defeats the purpose of the “protective style”. For ultimate protection, get yourself a satin lined wig cap.
Regularly wash and moisturize your hair
It may seem like a given, but it’s truly a major key! Sweat, product buildup, and friction among many other things are common problems that can cause more harm than good when it comes to wearing a wig. Take time to wash your natural hair with a cleansing shampoo, and moisturize it with a water-based deep conditioner and leave-in according to your normal wash schedule. Your hair will thank you by retaining its new growth, and you’ll be back to knocking out your fall hair color trend goals.
Opt for a wig with a closure or frontal
This goes out to our natural haired divas wearing wigs, instead of putting heat on your hair to conform to the texture of your weave, consider keeping all of your locks protected by wearing a closure or frontal.
Adjust the strap so that it isn’t too tight
We get it: you want your wig to lay flat and look realistic. But as we mentioned earlier, you want to give your hair the opportunity to breathe. Make sure your wig straps are secure, but not too tight as to suffocate your hair (and possibly give you a headache!). If it’s too tight, try cutting off the strap and either re-fitting to comfortably fit your head or using bobby pins to secure the wig.
