Hair Replacement Supplies; the top 3 must have items

Hair Replacement Supplies

You chose to utilize a hair replacement product such as wigs, hairpieces and toupees for a variety of reasons. Whether your decision was for self-esteem, health related issues, or to simply spice up your life, it is imperative that you protect your investment.

Here are the top three hair replacement supplies that you must have to maintain your fabulous look.

1. Wig Shampoo - The most valuable tool in maintaining your hair replacement piece is the wig shampoo that you select. First, you must consider whether your wig is made of synthetic fiber or human hair. To locate the highest quality shampoo, you should shop in beauty supply stores or online salons which will have specific shampoo solutions for various hair replacement types. 

Synthetic wigs require very special handling due to their man-made fibers. Cleaners formulated for these wigs will resemble fabric detergent more than standard shampoo. By talking to a specialist or a beautician, you may also receive recommendations to soak your hair replacement piece in fabric softener or a specifically formulated synthetic cleaner.

Human hair wigs should be washed with shampoo specifically designed for processed hair. Consider sulfate free or argon oil based shampoos. Remember that even if you wear your wig daily, it should be sufficient to wash it only once or twice a week.

2. Wig Adhesives - What's the point in wearing a hair replacement if everyone can tell that it isn't your natural hair? You want to look and feel your best at all times when wearing your hairpiece and this is why it is crucial that you utilize wig adhesives. When setting your wig in place with adhesives, you must work to carefully match your piece with your natural hair line and ensure that it is securely in place.

When you consider your lifestyle, your environment, and the length of time that you would like to wear your wig, you can make the decision between tape and wig adhesives. If you are trying out a new wig or live in a warm environment where you would like to give your scalp the opportunity to "breathe" after a few days of wear, tape adhesives will be your best option as they will secure your hair replacement piece for three to five days. If you dislike attaching your wig every day and plan on wearing it for an extended period of time, glue adhesives will be helpful as they will hold your hairpiece in place for one to two weeks.

3. Scalp Treatment - Wearing a hairpiece should be enjoyable, not uncomfortable! In order to keep your scalp healthy and fresh, you must enlist the help of a scalp treatment product such as PPI Brisk Scalp Freshener. Utilizing Australian tea tree oil, this scalp treatment will leave your scalp feeling comfortable and itch free without the fear of any irritation that can be caused by the usage of adhesives, oils, excessive perspiration, and even the wig itself.
