How to Care for Your Natural Hair Under Wigs

 

Introduction

Wigs are great for styling and convenience, but many people forget about the hair underneath. If your natural hair is not properly cared for, it can become dry, weak, and damaged.

As a professional hairstylist, I always remind my clients that healthy hair under the wig is just as important as the wig itself.
