Just wanted to start a thread talking about the main techniques u ladies have on protecting ur edges under ur wigs!!
Ladies wigs are great (esp if u are hair lazy) BUT please take care of ur edges....I think without proper care they can do more harm than good...
After going to the wig store today and watching many youtubes I've been seeing a LOT of thin edges...
My edges were already thin (almost gone ) so I'm trying to be EXTRA careful now that I'm wearing wigs and I want all my wig wearing sisters to do the same...
So what are u doing to protect ur edges?!?
Some advice:
1. Combs are not always needed so take them out if you feel secure doing so
2. Oiling the combs before putting them in ur head helps
3. Lace fronts be CAREFUL a lot of that lace is sharp and will do major damage
4. Also be careful with the glue and tape IMO anything glue near edges = disaster
5. Oil/condition edges nightly or whenever they feel dry
6. If u ain't going out let ur hair rest -> TAKE OFF THE WIG!!
7. Don't forget about ur hair under the wig
Any other suggestions or techniques u have for ur edges would be appreciated...let's rock the wigs and still have edges after!!
1. I oil with JBCO nightly (well atleast when I rem)
2. Keep my edges mositurized bc the caps can cause dryness
3. Dont bother with braiding my hair under (bc I like to mositurize and seal and undoing braids is time consuming) I usually do like 4-6 (my hair is thin) plaits and pin them up
HTH
