It's a wig! protective styling with this full cap wig by Freetress |
under wigs.
Right now, I only have two wigs and plan to purchase a couple more. I'll also be styling my hair in buns, braids and flat twists when I'm not wearing a wig. I'm doing all of this to keep myself from manipulating my hair. I suspect that the constant styling
I'm used to has led to my hair length plateau. For me, more styling
tends to lead to more trimming.
The moisturizer that saved the day! |
I thought that the products and the fact that my hair was braided meant that my hair would stay moisturized under my wig. Boy was I wrong! A couple of days later I took my hair down and my hair was so dry. I quickly applied some moisturizer and then sealed with the grapeseed oil again. I braided it back up and hoped for the best. The next day, I could tell that my hair was feeling softer but I still wanted to give it more moisture. I ended up cleansing my hair again and conditioning. I decided to do a wash and go style using a heavy conditioner as my leave-in, moisturizer, oil and then gel. My hair had so much life! The moisturizer I think was the key. My leave-in conditioner was not enough on its own.
My current combination of products to keep my hair moisturized while protective styling |
I can tell a huge difference in how my hair feels. If this combination of products works for me, I will continue to do this throughout my protective style challenge.
