Hair Care Under Wigs: Should You Wear A Stocking Cap or Bamboo wig liner Under Wigs?
My hair health is most important to me. Whatever I need to do to maintain my hair is what I will do to make sure it is strong, healthy, and beautiful. Retaining moisture is one of ways you can help maintain the health of your hair, because dry hair can lead to breakage. Many of us wear stocking caps under our wigs. Why? I have another option for you.
The myth that stocking caps are the only option for wigs has been perpetuated for years. This couldn’t be further from the truth! With more education and better wig designs that have come out over the years we’ve seen so many improvements. There are a variety of options available to wig wearers that can help them achieve their desired look without compromising on the health of their hair.
For starters, satin lined caps are often seen as a better option than stocking caps. Satin is a material that is much softer and more breathable than a nylon stocking, which means that your scalp won’t get as hot or sweaty when wearing a wig. Additionally, the material of a satin cap won’t pull and absorb moisture from your natural hair like a stocking cap can, which can cause breakage and other damage. To ensure you’re getting the most out of your satin-lined cap, make sure to always wear a satin-lined cap underneath your wig. Doing so will give you the best of both worlds: the comfort of a luxurious satin-lined cap with the protection of a moisture retaining lining.
Try a bamboo wig liner
I travel for work frequently and found it most helpful to put my hair in a protective style and wear a wig while working. Adding up my travel time to and from work, also including the 8+ hours at my client site I realized I was wearing my wigs for 10-12 hours each day! I grew concerned that I wasn’t taking the best care of my hair because I was using a moisture sucking nylon wig/stocking cap on my head. I decided to create a satin-lined wig cap to be a moisture retaining protection barrier between my hair and my wig. These wig liners are made by hand by me and my mother.

Take care of your wig
When it comes to achieving healthy natural hair, taking proper care of your wig is essential. Many people make the mistake of simply buying a wig and then neglecting to take care of it. However, just like any other type of hair, wigs need to be cared for in order to keep them looking their best. Taking the time to wash and condition your wig regularly, as well as keeping it stored properly, can make all the difference in terms of its longevity and quality.
If you’re serious about taking the best possible care of your wig, investing in quality products can help you reach your goal faster. For example, using a line of quality products includes a range of shampoos, conditioners, sprays, and more specifically designed to help protect and maintain the integrity of your wig. With these products, you can be sure that your wig will stay looking fresh and vibrant for longer. I am all about more bang for your buck and with the cost of a quality wig you want to make sure you’re taking care of it.
At the end of the day, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to wigs. Whether you choose to use stocking caps or satin caps taking the time to research and invest in quality products can help you achieve the look and feel you want while still protecting the health of your natural hair.
