1. Convenience
Who really has time to have PERFECT hair every single day? Surely not me.
As a wife, mother to 3 boys, 8 year old twins and a very active toddler custom wigs are my extensions of choice. Let me tell you, my wigs give me life Hunty. My calendar is very full from volunteer events, sports, and drums. I live for easy, breezy, convenience with my hair.
I have been natural for 9 years and although this was one of my best decisions it can be a bit taxing at times. I don’t think I was really aware of the work and management of having natural hair. But I am never going back to the creamy crack LOL. I’m serious! So again, my wigs give me life and Edge Slayer slays my natural edges oh so perfectly for my protective styles.
2. Save Your Edges
The winter air can be damaging to your hair causing dryness. Moisture is very important when wearing protective styles under your wigs. So give your hair a break. Protective styles can also include cornrows, twists, and even plaits. These are styles that you can wear under your wigs.
It’s important to have the protective styles neat for proper wig placement, but do not apply too much tension to your hair. Especially if you want to keep your edges Sis. Under my wigs, I like to wear five to six cornrows to the back as my protective style.
I usually shampoo and deep condition my hair with Shea Moisture and Cantu Products and seal with coconut oil. Remember moisture is key! I’ll share my favorite hair products later in another post.
3. Length
What I love the most about wigs is the ability to add length. There are a variety of hair extension options on the market to help you achieve length.
Some include Weft extensions, Clip-ins, Micro Links, Tape-ins, and even Crochet braids. Let’s face it, not everyone has hair down their back. The versatility of rocking a natural fro on a Monday then having shoulder length hair on Tuesday is great.
After all your hair is your crown and glory, and once you purchase the extensions they’re yours! Take care of your extensions. They will need deep conditioning as well, especially if you bleach them. Whatever your reason is for wearing hair extensions, be confident and always be you.
Serve and Slay Sis, Serve and Slay!
