Allergic to synthetic hair...

[Kinkyhairlady]

I think I am but I don't want to throw out my wig. Is there something I can do to the hair so it does not irritate my skin? I was think washing it with apple cider but not sure if it would do anything. If anyone knows please chime in. Tia

I am allergic as well.

I dont know what the chemical is but once I started soaking in a solution of apple cidar vinegar and water (taken from the grow afro long website) I NEVER had an itchy head problem again.

Make sure to do it on kanakelon hair. This is what the owner of the site suggest.

I rinse the hair and then spray it with a cone free conditioner (again from the site). It leaves the hair really nice looking.

It was so nice that when I walked out of the salon a woman asked me where I purchased my hair. When I told her what I did, her eyes glazed over

I too am allergic to synthetic hair. I'm unsure what that chemical is but it drives my skin crazy. I tried the soaking but I still broke out around my ears, jaw line, etc. Human hair head for me
