Is there a problem w/ wearing wigs and falls all the time?

[pinkcar2222]

Hey all,

I am an avid wearer of wigs and falls on a daily basis. I do try to take care of my hair underneath with heat deep conditions ( protein and moisture alternating) moisturizing - sealing w/ oil 1-3 times per day and clarifying when need be. I am getting alot of talk saying my hair NEEDS air or sun or I am smothering my hair and it's getting to me cuz my own hair is short and I am getting over some damage. Is this true? Is wearing wigs all the time bad for my hair?
Also my hair texture is sooo coarse it's super dry and soaks up anything I put on it and drys out again. Any suggestions for a really good moisturizer that can work for very dry coarse 4b hair. I have tried - SCURL, CARROT OIL, B&B MOISTURIZER W/ CASTOR OIL, STA SO FRO and they work ok but my hair still seems to be dry. If there is something else I can try please let me know.

Hmmmm.....good question. Considering the fact that hair is dead, I don't think it needs to get air. I think as long as you moisturinze it, and it is cared for, you should be okay. The ONLY problem I can see from wearing wigs ALL the time, is your hair line. I think you REALLY need to be watchful and careful about your hairline rubbing and such. Other than that, I don't think it's a problem.

As long as you are taking care of your hair underneath then there's nothing wrong with it. Hair is dead cells and we all know dead things can't breathe. If you feel comfortable wearing them then I say go ahead.

I would limit the use of fall/ half wigs to a few days a week. I used to rock them EVERYDAY and the spot where I used to secure the tooth attachement started breaking off BAD. I would be careful.

My hair definately thrived when I was wearing my lacefront everyday. I just made sure that my hair was well moisturized. It wasn't until I started wearing it out that I had problems b/c I was doing so much b.s. to my hair. Just take good care of your edges.
