1. Frizz and Tangling
One common issue with braided wigs is the development of frizz and tangling, especially with frequent use. This can disrupt the neat appearance of the braids and make them look unkempt.
Solution:
- Maintenance: Regularly use a light, non-greasy hair oil to keep the braids moisturized and reduce friction between them.
- Storage: When not wearing your braided wig, always store it on a wig stand or mannequin head to avoid unnecessary tangling.
- Recommended Product: For maintaining styles, consider the Summer Box Braids, which offer tangle-free convenience right out of the box.
2. Uneven Color or Synthetic Shine
Synthetic braided wigs can sometimes have an unnatural shine or color that doesn’t match your natural hair tone.
Solution:
- Customization: To adjust the color, you can apply a light mist of the Lace Tint Spray to achieve a more natural hue.
- Material Choices: Opt for human hair braided wigs for a more natural look. Consider styles such as the Kinky Tree Braids for their realistic appearance and texture.
3. Discomfort and Fit
Improperly fitted wigs can cause discomfort and may not sit securely on your head, leading to a lack of confidence in your look.
Solution:
- Sizing: Ensure you choose the right size by measuring your head before purchasing. Adjustable wig caps can also aid in achieving a snug fit.
- Style Choice: Braids like the Full Lace 2 Braids with Micro Braids to the Back provide a comfortable yet secure fit that mimics natural braiding.
4. Shedding and Hair Loss
While braided wigs generally shed less than other types, it can still be an issue if not properly managed.
Solution:
- Gentle Handling: Be gentle when brushing or styling your wigs. Use wide-tooth combs specifically made for wigs to minimize tugging at the weave.
- Product Care: Select wigs made of durable materials, such as the Kinky Braids, known for their strength and durability.
By addressing these common issues, you can enjoy the beauty and convenience of braided wigs without the hassle. Whether you prefer kinky styles or sleek box braids, The SheShopper Hair Place has a range of options to meet your style needs.
