Just like your natural hair, your wig will fall off naturally and moderately, which cannot be completely avoided. But sometimes your wig falls off badly, which is caused by some bad reasons. Nobody wants their hair to keep falling off. So how to prevent your wig from falling off, what is the reason? Today’s blog will help you solve this problem.

What is the shedding of wigs?

Wig shedding mainly means that your wig begins to fall off excessively during use. This is usually caused by incorrect installation, wearing, maintenance, care, or the quality of wigs.

There are two main types of hair loss, one is completely falling off from the bottom. The second is the break of hair.

Why do your wigs shed?

The worse the quality of your hair, the easier it will fall off. So, when you choose wigs, you must choose human hair wigs instead of synthetic hair wigs or other wigs with poor hair quality. Human hair can reduce your hair loss and make it easier to maintain.

2. A tight hairstyle

If you often weave your wig hair into some tight hair style, such as braid corn, tight bun, etc., your hair will fall off more during the modeling process.

3. Heat setting tool

The heat setting tool will make your wig hair dry, and then cause the hair to break and fall off, such as straightening hair, curling hair, and dyeing hair. Dyes for hair dyeing may also be the cause of hair injury. Please try to use semi-permanent high-quality dyes.

4. Wrong comb

If you use the wrong way and tools to comb your hair, it will also cause your wig to fall off, such as pulling hard when combing your hair, combing your curly hair with a narrow tooth comb, and combing your hair when it is wet.
