I believe that most people have ever watched some movies which describe the stories happened in middle ages. But have you ever noticed that men, especially French men in that ages always wore various wigs? Is it a custom? Or are there some other reasons for it?
The history of wigs can go all the way back to antiquity. In ancient Egypt, it was common to shave one’s head and wear wigs because of the prevalence of head lice. The earliest Egyptian wigs were constructed of human hair, but cheaper substitutes such as palm leaf fibers and wool were more widely used. Since only the wealthy and well-born could afford to do this, wigs became a status symbol. They denoted ranks, social status, and even religious piety. In middle ages, this was picked up again during the Renaissance, when antiquity began to be rediscovered and explored anew. It appeared the neoclassic style with a return to the classic aesthetics.
The wear of wigs in men started to be popular at the end of the 17th century, while the reign in France of Louis XIV, the famous Sun King. All his court began to use wigs, and as France was the pattern of fashion for all Europe at that age, the use of wigs was spread to the rest of the courts of the continent. But at this time, it was mostly the noblemen who wore wigs when they attended a high ceremony or court banquet. The wigs which started out as a hygienic tool were still a status symbol. In 1680, Louis XIV had 40 wig-makers designing his wigs at the court of Versailles.
Then time comes to the eighteenth century, which saw the complete resurgence of wigs. The eighteenth century was an age of elegance. Never in European history did we see that men were so far removed from natural appearance. It became the height of fashion for a man shaving his head for both comfort and fit. Usually, those who had the finances had a large wig for formal occasions and a smaller one for use at home. The larger the wig is, the more it costs. Thus wigs were also a mark of class and income. If one was unable to afford a wig, he will make his natural hair look as like a wig as possible.
By the mid-eighteenth century, white was the favored color for wigs, and they were generally made with human hair, but also with hair from horses or goats. Lucrative trades were constructed around wigs, such as hair-dressing, because at that time hair was dressed rather than cut. Sometimes, in order to achieve the look, hair was harvested from the heads of the rural working classes. And situations went on like this until the French Revolution broke out. After that, the use of wigs as fashion statements largely died out and the republican simplicity rose as an alternative fashion statement.

]]>Anyone who buys a hair replacement system should know how to maintain it, It is a big question that customers offen stuggle with. If you are not well advised, it will be tricky to figure out how to manage hair systems. That’s why we come up with this complete maintance guide.
Before we learn how to do daily maintenance, we need to understand the factors that will shorten the lifespan of hair replacement system. The following information will help you know the main causes of hair loss, hair tandling and a broken base.
Hair system material selection and manufacture
As we all know, the lifespan of a hair system depends on the hair quality, base material, and different ventilation methods.
Use improper shampoo and conditioner
Shampoo and conditioner are certain things we use when we wash our hair, is your shampoo casue your hair system shedding? Have you noticed this problem? Have you read the the list of ingredients on the back of a shampoo bottle? Believe it or not, shampoo can have a bad effect on your hair to some extent.
Here's a complete list of the harmful chemicals found in most shampoos that not only damage the hair system, making it prone to hair loss and shortening its life, but also harm people's physical and mental health, including cancer.
● Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate are two types of sulfate, a common ingredient in shampoo and one of the most destructive chemicals. When you rinse your shampoo, the surfactants break down the proteins needed for hair growth and remove the protective oils from the hair, causing it to dry and break. It can also cause allergic reactions to some extent.
● Parabens
Parabens are used as a preservative to prevent bacteria from growing in cosmetics and shampoos. It may present the onset of bacteria in hair products but look out for words ending in – parabens such as methylparaben and propylparaben in the ingredients list. They are similar to fragrances, beacuse they will affect people’s hormones and mimic the hormone estrogen and have been linked to an increased growth of breast cancer cells.
● Sodium Chloride
Sodium Chloride is simply salt. Salt may be good for our immune system, but it’s definitely not good for your hair health. It plays the role of maintaining thicker consistency in shampoos and conditioners. Sodium chloride will reduce the health of your hair, make your scalp dry and itchy, and make your hair dry and brittle. Fragile hair will eventually break! So often wear a hair system to swim, the water in the pool will make the system damaged, shorten the lifespan.
● Propylene Glycols
Although Propylene glycol helps with shampoo concentration, it will help the scalp absorb other chemicals in shampoo. But it is a skin irritant, will damage the health of your hair from the outside, not so much to the hair system, but to more than just your hair itself.
● Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA)
DEA and TEA are emulsifiers and foam agents that reduce the surface tension between different substances so that ingredients that are water-soluble and oil-soluble can blend together. These two chemicals can also cause irritation to the skin. They can also destroy keratin - a key component of hair. This ultimately leads to dry, brittle hair.
● Chemical Fragrances
For many of us, the deciding factor for purchasing the shampoo is its scent. They may smell nice but these fragrances contain thousands of hidden chemicals, they will cause a hormonal imblance and disrupt the reproductive systems. They can also cause cancer, asthma and make their way into women’s breast milk. Like many ingredients on this list, it is also an irritant to the skin and scalp, which can lead to hair loss.
● Alcohol
Alcohol is very common component in shampoos. Most alcohols have a drying effect, and the higher up in the ingredient list it appears, the more of it the product contains. Products containing a lot of alcohol can be very drying and over time open up the cuticle layer, increasing the chances of tangling.
● Formaldehyde
Many people think formaldehyde can be had only in decorating material, also can contain formaldehyde in shampoo actually, among all harmful shampoo composition, formaldehyde is probably the scariest. Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen and has been proven to be absorbed through the skin in animal testing. In addition to being carcinogenic, formaldehyde and its releasers can cause ‘allergic’ reactions, including skin irritations and asthma.
● Synthetic Colors
Most shampoos and conditions often add synthetic colors for a better color, these colors come from petroleum or coal-tar sources, all of which come with harmful health effects. Many even links to various diseases, especially cancer.
● Dimethicone
Dimethicone is a type of silicone. It is basically plastic that contributes to product buildup making your hair feel greasy to give the illusion that your hair look shiny. In reality, it will weigh the hair down, make it heavy, limp and lifeless. If the hair and scalp are covered with this plastic film, it can block moisture and nutrients from entering and clog pores on the scalp, leading to skin allergies or hair loss.
WRONG WAY TO WASH YOUR HAIR SYSTEM
● The adhesive wasn't cleaned thoroughly.This is the first and the most important step before you wash the hair system. Many people overlook this. The adhesive is not easily removed by water and needs to be removed with a special remover. If you don’t clean it thoroughly, they will mix together with dust, causing the hair sticky and seriously tangling.
● Excessively hot or cold water.Some people think that washing your hair in hot water is bad for your hair, while washing your hair in cold water can help keep your hair shiny and strong. I don't think so. In fact, whether you wash your hair or your hair system, you should use warm water. Hot water will damage your hair roots, if they are weaken, then your hair becomes frizzy and start to turn gray prematurely. Cold water will closed the hair’s cuticles, then reduce the volume of hair, which will make the hair look less fluffy and stick to the head. Also, cold water dosen’t clean your hair as efficiently as warm water does.
● Over Conditioning.Although you may think that you are helping to eliminate matting by using large quantities of conditioner, the reality is that too much conditioner can swell the hair causing the cuticle layer to remain open. Actually, dry, weak, overly soft, limp and/or flat curls, no matter how much conditioner you add to it, are usually the first signs that your hair is over conditioned. Over time, hair that is excessively conditioned with moisture-based conditioners becomes porous and starts to develop dryness as a result.
● Use hairdryer in the hottest setting. In general, we recommend air drying. Even coarse, dense locks can't withstand the very high temperatures that some hairdryer models emit, the heating from it will split the knots and cause shedding. Especially for synthetic hair, the heat from the hair dryer will melt the fibers in the hair system.
● Brushing or Combing While Wet.For many people, it’s natural to brush or comb your hair while it’s wet to make detangling easier. But for hair systems, it’s not allowed. It can cause the hair to break, stretch, or frizz. And combing hair with fine teeth is also easy to cause hair loss and shedding, which is why we often recommend the use of a wide-toothed comb or a cushion brush.
FRICTION
Hair systems can in fact face friction very often as they are dry due to absence of sebum. This friction is generally due to sleep with hair system, the hair system and pillow friction caused. n case you are using a pillow case that is made up of any harsh material then more friction will be generated when sleeping. Constant friction will open up the cuticle and damage the hair, causing tangles that make it difficult to comb, and eventually hair loss.
When wearing a hair system, and then put a hat or helmet on it, it will also cause friction and shorten the effect of the adhensive. Excesive gromming can also create a lot of friction.
EXCESSIVE IRONING AND DYEING
Hair colorants use hydrogen peroxide as a penetrating agent to raise the pH of the hair, relax and lift the cuticle, thereby penetrating beyond the cuticle and causing the hair shaft to expand. Ammonia raises the cuticle of hair, and hydrogen peroxide can damage hair color. Your hair is instantly damaged because the cuticle should not be lifted. Once the cuticle is lifted, the next step is to dye the hair the color you want. So hair colorants use hydrogen peroxide to break down natural hair pigments. Hydrogen peroxide can make hair extremely dry, which is why dyed hair has a straw-like texture. When the hydrogen peroxide developer sits, the cuticle is still held so that the dye penetrates into the open cuticle and dries out. The longer the cuticle is held up, the more fragile it becomes. Once you rinse your hair, the cuticle falls off. But the damage is done.
OXIDATION
Oxidation is a chemical reaction that occurs anytime your hair system is exposed to both oxygen and harmful UV light at the same time. When these UV light rays make contact with the oxygen molecules that are on your hair system, they affect the color hues of your hair system, turning orange or red. It's a very slow process, but it does damage the outer layer of the hair shafts on your hair system. Oxidation also damages hair, making it more fragile and prone to breaking and fraying. The hair of your hair system is much more vulnerable to oxidation than your own hair, since it has processed to remove the cuticle, which is a protective outer layer of the hair. Therefore, excessive oxidation will damage the hair system.
You must have looked at all the causes of damaged hair systems. Are you curious to know how to solve these problems? The following information will help you understand the solutions on how to maintain it.
The hair replacement system maintenance is the most grueling and also the most important aspect of getting a non-surgical hair replacement system. It is not only extremely tedious and time-consuming but also throws up lots of complications.
HOW TO SHOWER WITH THE HAIR REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
The high-quality hair replacement system makes it possible for people to shower with it. However, you can’t just wash or scrub your hair system like you wash your own natural growing hair. You need to follow a specific method, otherwise, the lifespan of your hair replacement system will be shortened.
1.The first step is to moisture the hair system. Use a boar bristle brush and some olive oil to condition your hair. Make sure that every strand is covered by olive oil appropriately.
2.At the same time, create a 1:1 mix of water and shampoo and put it in a spray bottle. This step is to dilute the shampoo so that it becomes easy to lather and apply.
3.Once the spray bottle is prepared, you can spray the shampoo-water mix onto your hair system. Please notice two important things while doing this. The first is that do not spray too much. Spraying too much will make shampoo buildup in the hair system, which will affect the appearance and may even cause irritation in your scalp. Secondly, do not spray near the area where the system base is attached to your scalp. It will affect the adhesive and cause the hair system to come loose.
4.When you wash the hair, gently press and slide it through each section of the hair. You can use either a soft sponge or your palms for this purpose. Don’t rub the shampoo into the hair system the way you would have with natural hair, it will damage and tangle your hair system. Then, follow one particular direction when applying the shampoo. The best way is to press and squeeze away from the system base instead of towards it to prevent tangling and damage.
5.The following step is to rinse your hair system. Remember to only use lukewarm water. If the water is too hot, it will cause the hair system to detach since the heat will melt the adhesive. Also, make sure that you rinse away from the system base instead of towards it. It's important to wash away all remaining shampoo, since a build-up of shampoo can cause itching and compromise the bond of your hairpiece.
6.You can blot or dab the hair system with microfiber towel to dry your hair system, don’t rub it. Microfiber towels don’t catch and pull the hair so they’ll keep your hair system safe.
REMOVING AND CLEANING THE NON-SURGICAL HAIR REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
Although you can shower with the hair system attached to your scalp, the better way is to remove it and then clean it. Cleaning the hair system when it was taken off will give you more control over it, which will ensure its lifespan. Removing and cleaning hair system is also a time-consuming process which requires much effort. Here are the steps you need to pay attention to.
1.Spray adhesive remover onto the edge of the system base and allow to penetrate the residue for 1-3 minutes. This gives enough time for the solvent to soak in and make removing the adhesive or residue much easier.
2.Remember to pull the system base from the back to the front. This will prevent the frontal hairline of the hair system from getting damaged. As you pull the edge of the hair system up and away from your scalp, you’ll have to continue spraying adhesive remover to the contact area. Remember, you should never have to struggle with the hairpiece or use too much pressure. It should come off smoothly.
3.Soak the hair system in a plastic or stainless steel container capable of holding arm water with liquid solvent. Always do this in a well vented area. It usually takes 10-20 mins of soaking time to remove any extra adhesive.
4.Once soaking is complete, remove your hair system from the solution and lay it in the sink face up (the hair will be on the bottom). Use an old gift card or you fingernail to gently brush the broken down adhesive residues.
5.After getting most of the excess residue off, place the hair system back to the sink full of solvent for 2-3 more minutes. Then repeat the above step to make sure there is no adhesive residue in the hair system. It is essential to completely remove any adhesive residue from your system to guarantee the efficacy of your bonding.
6.Finally, after rinsing thoroughly wash the unit again, this time using a mild shampoo to balance the acid level and lastly condition.
CONDITIONING THE NON-SURGICAL HAIR REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
It’s important to remember that a hair replacement system is an investment. By taking proper care of it, you will keep it looking natural and make it last longer. The process of conditioning the hair replacement system is very similar to shampooing it. We recommend doing a deep condition of your hair system at least once a month - or preferably every other week.
If you want to condition your hair system when it is attached, then you need to dilute the conditioner with some water and apply it gently to the hair. As was the case with the shampoo, you have to make sure that the conditioner stays away from the system base.
Following below steps to condition the hair system:
1. After washing the hair system, you need to dry out as much water as you can with a towel.
2. Then, applying the conditioner through the hair from the root to the tip. You can use the wide-toothed comb to brush the hair gently to make sure the conditioner is evenly distributed throughout your hair system.
3. Leave the conditioner on for 5 – 10 minutes.
4. Thoroughly rinse your hair system with lukewarm (not hot) water to make sure there is no conditioner left. When rinsing the hair system, keep the hair hanging downwards in one direction and do not allow the hairs to cross over each other which will causes serious tangles
5. After removing the conditioner, blot dry your hair system by gently pressing or patting the hair with a cotton towel. DO NOT rub the hair.
6. Finally, Let the hair system dry naturally or alternatively blow dry your hair system on a cool setting. Do not brush or tug abruptly when blow drying the hair system! Press firmly around perimeter after blow drying.
Tips:
You should always use cool or lukewarm water to shampoo and condition your hair, using warm or hot water will eventually take out the wave or curl of a synthetic hairpiece.
SLEEPING WITH THE NON-SURGICAL HAIR REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
You have to remember is that your hair system is an investment, so even the smallest things can damage that investment. There is really only one big no-no when it comes to sleep and that is to NEVER sleep on wet hair. Please make sure your hair is completely dry before you go to sleep. Sleeping with the hair replacement system can be a simple thing. But, if the proper precautions are not taken, your hair system can get damaged. So how can you and your hair system get a comfortable night’s sleep? Let’s find out!
1) Use a silk pillowcase:
Silk pillow is more expensive than other materials like cotton or polyester, but its gentle touch will save you a lot on hair system repairs. Silk is less damaging because it is the only material that will allow the hair of your hair system to rub against the pillow without creating excess friction.
2) Secure your hair system:
Make sure that your hair system is fully secured before going to sleep since the loose hair system will move around more while sleeping which will cause more damage. If you use clips to secure your hair system, adding more clips to ensure that your hair system stays in place while sleeping. If you like to use adhesive, we recommend MAX Adhere 360 Waterproof Adhesive or Pro Hair Labs Ghost Bond Supreme Adhesive. If you prefer hair system tape, we recommend that you use an extended-wear tape such as the Walker Tape Easy Green Tape or the Walker Tape Ultra Hold Tape. These hair tapes and adhesives are specially designed for long-term bonds and will better withstand the stress put on your hair system from moving in your sleep.
3) Braiding the hair
When you go to sleep it is also helpful to put the hair of your hair system in a loose braid or a hair net so that you can prevent the hair from tangling while you are asleep. For the most secure option, you can even put the hair in a braid and then in a hair net.
Braiding the hair loosely will prevent tangles while you sleep. Depending on the size of your hair system, two to three braids should be enough. However, before making the braids, you have to make sure that you detangle the hair.
By following the above simple steps and precautions, you can get a nice night's sleep without causing excess damage to your hairpiece.
BRUSHING THE NON-SURGICAL HAIR REPLACEMENT SYSTEM
Properly brushing the hair replacement system is very important since excess force can make the hair break. By brushing your hair every day to prevent tangles can help your hair system last longer. We recommend you brush your hair at least once a day, and not too much. Excessive brushing is the one of the major factors that causes excessive hair loss of the hair replacement system.
There is also a specific time to brush your hair. Only do it when it is completely wet or completely dry. Anything in between means that your hair replacement system may be damaged.
In terms of equipment, we recommend you use a large wide-toothed comb or soft 100% boar bristle brush to brush your hair replacement system. Both of these options allow you to remove each tangle one at a time. This will help you avoid placing unnecessary tension on the knots.
This is something you have to be conscious of as well while brushing or combing your hair system. If you see any tangles, remember to address each of them one by one. While time-consuming, this will prolong the look and health of your hair system.
Be careful when brushing your hair replacement system. This will help to avoid root tension. Please brush the hair only from the root upwards. If the hair system gets tangled you should also avoid excessive tugging on the hair. This can be a major cause of hair shedding from your system.

Add something creative to your wig- a headband or a scarf maybe. You don’t have to wear it the same way always solely because it is a wig. For a more natural look, if your natural hair is somewhat close to your wig color try blending in your own hair along the hairline.

● Generally, as you get used to wearing a hair system, the itching will fade over time. If it persists for more than a few weeks and is more than a minor itch, check the list above.

It’s time to replace a new one!
The hair shedding issue might be the most frustrating problem for the most hair wearers. There’s no worse feeling than brushing your hair system and watching those precious hair locks fall out of place. Ever wonder why does this happen.
The degree of hair replacement system shedding varies in different situations. It is a normal thing that a hair replacement system start to fall off mildly in the first few days after receiving it or wearing it for a few months. However, if the shedding is severe all the time, after the first few weeks or when it is still new, then there is a big problem and you need to find out what causes this to happen. Might it be a product quality issue, or it might is caused by a wrong maintenance routine.
Hair Quality
Synthetic Hair
Some people tend to choose to wear synthetic hair system because of its cheaper price. But it has an unnatural shine that does not look very attractive in your hair. Unlike real human hair, synthetic hair cannot be heated, dyed, colored, and styled. If you try straightening or curling your synthetic hair, it will melt. Moreover, synthetic hair has a tendency to get into so many knots and tangles that it is hardly to be brushed out and it will cause serious falling off of hair.
Real Human Hair
Indian hair
Indian hair is very soft and fine and is best suited for dark hair colors of any hair length and shorter hair lengths in just about any color! Indian hair is versatile, very fine, light and bouncy. It can be easily curled and styled. The natural color of Indian human hair is black. If you choose the light color Indian human hair which means it’s been dyed and colored, this kind of chemical processing will hurt the hair which may make it become easy to be broken.
Chinese hair
Chinese hair is the strongest hair compared with other hair types, and it have a very good natural straight. When you keep the Chinese hair in hand, you can feel its thickness. That’s why it is the best for straight hair products. Also, Chinese hair can stand deeply processed because of its thickness, so most blonde or light color all be produced by Chinese hair. However, the deeply chemical processing will definitely bring hurt to the hair, thus Chinese hair will be applied the coating to make sure it looks and feel good. The problem is that once the coating is worn off by applying heat, washing the hair, or adding chemicals, the hair will become dry and tangle easily which is the major cause of hair shedding of hair replacement system.
European hair
European hair has a fine denier and has natural light brown and blonde shades which require less processing. One of the major benefits of European hair is that this kind of naturally available in a range of colors, avoiding the need for aggressive bleaching which reduces the damage to hair. European hair is silky and shiny by natural and considered to be the highest quality of hair you can buy. The supply of European hair is not as abundant as Indian or Chinese hair, so product lines are often more limited and it is much expensive.
Remy Hair
Remy hair simply refer to how the hair is handled and stored. In other words, the hair that’s kept “root-to-tip” which means that the root end is distinguishable from the tip end. The hair strands follow the same direction, which avoid the most tangling and matting (if processed properly). In addition, Remy hair is subjected to fewer chemical processes which allow the hair to be healthier. Another important characteristic of Remy hair is cuticle. If hair with cuticle is inverted, it will become a tangled knotted mess, especially when wet. Remy hair is easier to maintain, last longer and look healthier and more natural than Non-Remy hair, which can look very shiny and artificial when first purchased and become dry and dull over time.
Virgin Hair
Virgin hair haven’t gone through any kind of chemical processing, which is collected from a single donor. The virgin hair is Remy hair that has not been altered by dyes, perms, bleaches or harsh washes, the cuticles all still have to be intact and running the same direction. Therefore, it is far more superior to Remy hair. The greatest thing about virgin hair is that it can last up to a year with proper care and maintenance.
The Different Ventilation Methods
Our hair replacement systems are all made by hand, instead of the machine, and each individual hair strand is woven one at a time to ensure its quality. In order to keep the knot as invisible as possible, the knots need to be very tiny. The tiny knots are very fragility and therefore it is common for the hairs on a hair replacement system to start shedding at the 3-month mark.
As we all know that the hair is either knotted or injected or v-looped onto the hair replacement system base manually, so it cannot avoid that some hairs are not knotted correctly or firmly. So the hair will shed when you comb through it. But this will not be that much. On the other hand, when you wear the hair system for a pretty long time, then the knots become loose naturally, thus will have hair loss problem too.
Knotting Ventilation
Knotting ventilation is the most common type which can is used in lace hair system. The hair is tied around the mesh material in very tiny knots are usually available in three different sizes: double knots, single knots and half knots. Each of these is used for a different purpose, each having variation of strength, visibility as well as positioning on the hair system.
Double knot:It is ideal for a very thick hair system density with lots of and height. The bigger hair knots usually make it difficult to lay the hair down flat, thus the hairstyle should be fuller. The double knots will be more durable than others.
Single knot:It is the easiest to lay flat and is best for a freestyle hair pattern. However, compare to the double knot, it is easier to loose.
Half knot:It is the smallest and the most undetectable hair knot. The half knot is smaller than a single knot and can also be used in a slick back hair style.
Bleached knots: After the knots are being tied to the base, our workers apply a layer of bleach liquid to the knots. It takes out most of the color and leaving a virtually invisible knot. The major advantage is that it can create an undetectable hairline that looks like it’s growing from your scalp. But chemicals used in bleaching can make the knots weak and prone to hair loss.
V-looped Ventilation
The v-looped ventilation is applied to the poly system base. Our workers will puncture two holes (go and back hole) in the base with a needle which is specially for ventilating hair and then hook one or more strands of hair around the needle and pull the hair through the holes to make a V-shape. The strands of hair which attached to the needle depends on the hair density required by the customers. The next important of V-looped ventilation is sealing the hair. Before placing the hair system in an oven to dry, our workers need to turn over the base and brush a layer of poly on the underside to seal the hair and smoothen out the underside for the comfortable wearing experience.
V-looped ventilation leaves no knots so it creates the very natural look, but it does not have such a long lifespan. The lifespan also depends on the thickness of the base. The hair of the thin base will be easy to fall out and the base is very delicate. For example, the 0.03mm super thin skin can only last 1-2 months. If it is thicker than that, it will last a little longer, like 0.05mm can last around 2-3 months.
Injected Ventilation
Just like V-looped ventilation, injected ventilation can only be used on the poly bases – it is not possible for lace, mono or any other type of base. Our workers also use a special kind of ventilation needle to punch the hair through the base without returning back to the up sides. It also creates the very natural appearance because there are no knots. This also causes the same problem as V-looped ventilation that the hair is easy to fall out if the base is very thin. The next step will be more complicated than v-looped ventilation. Before brushing on the poly, our workers will shave the hair roots simply by using an electric razor. The roots should be shaved to the same length. Our workers will leave the roots with a bit of length which will make the hair last longer on the base. Then, our workers will brush on a layer of poly to seal the hair and finally, they iron the roots down flat on the base when the poly still not dry. After the poly dry, the hair lay down and covered the base.
The above mentioned, hair color, hair type, knot type, etc, It's all part of what we can choose, and too much manipulation can cause hair to fall out faster. If you want your hair system to last longer, please choose the best hair quality, and the original hair color(natural black), also the double knots and no bleach knots.
How to stop the human hair system shedding? (10 Tips)
● When you wear a hair system, please pat your head with your hand instead of scratching your scalp. Scratch will loosen the knots and cause the system shedding easily. If your head is really itchy, you need to take your hair system off and wash your head with anti-itch shampoo. And then put on your hair system after your hair dries naturally. Do not apply the hair system when your hair is wet!
● Apply a knot sealer on the hair system to seal the knots and keep them tied firmly. This is a spray bottle, so it's very convenient to use, just spray it on the lace or mesh, and then allow it to completely dry before wearing. Please be noting that resealing should be done after every wash once the wig is dry.
● When combing a lace hair system, use a wide-toothed comb or a cushion brush. Comb your hair piece gently. Start from the hair ends and work upwards to the base of the cap. Don’t comb it from top to bottom. Be sure to comb the hair system thoroughly before washing, wait for it to become dry to straighten the hair again. Do not comb it when the hair is wet!
● Avoid using hair care products with high alcohol content, they will lead to breakage and hair shedding. Look for specially-formulated products for hair systems, or products that are low in alcohol. We advise you to use shampoos and conditioners without sulphate ideally. We recommend THE JOICO MOISTURE CO-WASH SULFATE-FREE SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER IN ONE which also cuts down on the washing and helps prolong the life of the system.
● Please be sure to remove all the glue and tapes before washing the hair piece, to minimize the risk of shedding. When washing, tear away the remaining adhesive, will be the hair along with the removal, resulting in local hair loss.
● After cleaning, please let you hair system air dry. Don’t wring or squeeze the wet hair. Use towel to soak the water by gently press. And then let it dry naturally in the air, but without any sunshine. Avoid using a hair dryer, the heating from it will split the knots and cause shedding. If you want a quick dry, you can use a hair dryer, but be sure that it is on a cool setting.
● While you don't have to take off the hair system every day to sleep, the friction between the hair and the pillow can tie the hair and exceed hair loss. We recommend you go to bed with your hair braided, wrapped in a silk cap instead of a towel, or replace your pillow with a silk one to reduce friction and knot.
● When swimming, remember that chlorine and salt in the water will cause damage to the hair system, always wear a cap to prevent prolong exposure to the chlorine or salt water which causes the hair to tangle. After each swimming or washing your hair system, use some junction sealing machine. This will strengthen the hair knot, and the protection of your full lace hair system from shedding.
● Always keep your hair clean. We suggest that you wash the hair system at least once every 2-3 weeks with warm water. If you like exercise and sweat a lot, please wash your hair immediately after exercise, or sweat will build up and cause knots. Too much leave-in conditioner and other products will create a build up on your hair and make it tangle faster.
● Regular care and maintenance is the most important factor in making wigs last longer. Use products made specifically for hair systems. Most hair care products on the market contain chemicals and alcohol that can cause hair to dry, break and fall out. And do less hair manipulate, the more styling you do, the more you'll be pulling on your hair, the more your hair will be shedding.
After shedding, what can you do?
● How to wash your hair system?
Each of us produces sebum, which is a natural oil. This natural oil helps keep hair healthy and protects every hair. Unfortunately, hair systems have little sebum. Continuous wear, excessive washing and cleaning can dry out the sebum in your hair, so we recommend washing the hair system every 2-3 weeks at least.
Shampoo and conditioner are an indispensable part of the shampoo process, and with the right shampoo and conditioner you can get twice the result with half the effort.One of the most important ways to get the results you want is to wash your hair properly.
Here are 4 steps to help you know how to wash your hair piece:
1.Remove the hairpiece tape and glue residual, rinse under medium warm running water, then in a bowl of clean warm water add some shampoo.
2.Using mild shampoo. While applying shampoo, don’t apply it directly to your hair wig, add the appropriate amount shampoo in the warm water. People are confusing about cold water or warm water using to wash wigs. Warm water (about 77-86°F) is recommended, as water above 86°F may deform the human hair wig and make your wig lost the firmness of elasticity and cold water cannot melt the shampoo and conditioner well.
3.Apply the correct amount of conditioner from the top of your head to the bottom. Make sure to spread it evenly all over your hairpiece, avoiding getting too close to the roots. Wait a few minutes, then rinse with running water.
4.Dry it. Blot dry your hair by gently pressing or patting the hair with a cotton towel. Do not rub your hair! Remember use the cool air set instead of hot air. Or you can air it on the balcony, but avoid the sun direct shine on your hair system.
The differences between cleaning lace and poly.
Since solvents affect each basic type differently, the difficulty of the cleaning process depends on the material you choose.
1.Poly base:
2.Lace base:
No matter what base material you choose, you have to ensure that there is no solvent left on the base before reattaching the system. If you don't get all of the solvent and adhesive residue off of your base, it can prevent the tape or liquid adhesive from adhering properly on your next attachment.
● How to prevent oxidation?
Oxidation is a chemical reaction that occurs anytime your hair system is exposed to both oxygen and harmful UV light at the same time. When these UV light rays make contact with the oxygen molecules that are on your hair system, they affect the color hues of your hair system, turning orange or red. It's a very slow process, but it does damage the outer layer of the hair shafts on your hair system. If you spend a lot of time outdoors doing yard work or exercising, consider wearing a hat or baseball cap. Or use UV hair system protection will be a good choice, whether it comes in the form of a protection spray, or a leave-in conditioner, UV protection will make sure to keep oxidation at bay by making sunlight bounce off of your awesome-looking hair system.
● How to style your hair system?
● How to store properly?
Hair piece is a very delicate thing as well as human hair. Improperly storing your hairpieces can cause all of the following: damage from exposure, dust collection from an unsanitary area, and tangles from mixing up with other items. Properly storing your hairpieces ensures that they’ll be ready to go whenever you need them, as soon as you need them. Just find a nice, dry paper box (any box will do, as long as you keep it in a cool, dry place) and place the hair piece in it when you're done. When you take it out, it should look as good as when you first stored it. If you can, please put each hair piece in its own individual box, and putting them in the same box can lead to confusion.
● Why not get a professional to repair the hair system?
1.Add hair
Hair systems are like our own hair, and hair loss is inevitable. We can help you add some hair on any part of the hair system, even gray hair. If you notice that you have more gray natural hair, you can increase the gray percentage of hair in your system for blending purposes.
2.Detangle and deep condition
Over time, all hair systems lose their luster.Hair can become dry, brittle, faded and tangled.We can handle it!Our staff works hard to rejuvenate the color and replenish moisture and elasticity with deep conditioning treatments.They can tame even the most fearsome entanglements without fear.
3.Precision cut-in service
In addition, our factory also provide cut-in service. If you don't have a designer in your area that's easy to find, or if you need to make some additional adjustments to your existing style, then an in-house cut-in is the best option. In addition to styling and maintenance, our factory can also make adjustments such as bleaching knots, reworking waves/curls, and correcting colors. However, there are some limitations, so it is better to allow us to evaluate the system before assuming that it can be fixed.
● It’s time to replace a new one!
The lifespan of hair replacement system depends on various factors, such as the quality of the system base, the type of hair, and your daily maintenance routine. Here is an approximate timeline guide:
1- 2 months for 0.03mm thin skin hair systems
2 - 4 months for 0.05mm thin skin hair systems
4- 6 months for 0.10mm thin skin hair systems
5- 8 months for 0.15mm thin skin hair systems
5- 7 months for Swiss lace hair system
6- 9 months for French lace hair system
7- 12 months for mono hair system
How long your hair system last also depends on how you take care of of it. If you do not always take good care of your hair system, it will result in dry,tangled, unmanageable hair that deteriorates faster than should be expected.

Can I sleep in a wig? Every wig wearer knows that braiding natural hair and gluing down the wig takes a few hours. Of course, we want it stay as long as it can to save our time and the glue is really messy. It’s a nightmare if we need to take off the wig everyday before we sleep.
To be honest, it’s not a good idea to sleep in your wig. Sleeping in your wig will considerably reduce the lifespan of your wig, as friction may always exists between your hair and pillow which may cause tangles, frizz, and dryness of your wig. But, it’s very common that people sleep with a wig on. If such things happen, remember the following tips will help you reduce the damage that sleeping in your wig will cause.
Too much friction will damage your wig. To reduce friction while sleeping, you can braid your wig or put it in a ponytail and pin or tie it into place. Then, try to warp your head with a silk or satin scarf.
Besides preparing, you can also use a silk or satin pillow case. This may also reduce matting, tangling and other friction related issues.
When you wake up, carefully yet thoroughly brush or comb your wig to remove any knots that may have formed overnight. Don’t be lazy and just let the knots on, the knots will be very difficult to move. If your hair looks flat in some areas, use a little water, leave-in conditioner or wig spray and gently fluff it.
Give your wig a break. Consider buy an alternative wig, often change another wig to wear. By the way, when take off the wig, remember to wash and store it properly.

]]>There are generally 4 basic types of hair used in hairpieces industry which include Synthetic hair, Normal human hair (which is further categorized into Chinese hair, Indian hair and European hair, etc.), Remy hair and Virgin hair. It is difficult to see the difference among all these hair types on the surface.
Chinese Hair: Chinese hair is not only available in large quantities but is also quite affordable. This type of hair is round, thick, rigid and coarse. Although Chinese hair is thicker by nature and is used if you do need a thick texture, we can request a soft, fine texture with Chinese hair. Chinese hair will not lose its quality after extreme processing, as long as the process is done correctly. Chinese hair is very flexible and strong and is suitable for most hair texture.
Indian Hair: This type of hair offers a really smooth and soft texture. This hair is very soft and fine and is best suited for dark hair colors of any hair length and shorter hair lengths in just about any color! Indian hair is a good match to Caucasian hair with a little bit of bend or a very slight wave. (Most of our stock hair systems are made out of Indian human hair, some are with Indian Remy hair. )
European Hair: European hair is considered to be the most popular type of hair used in the industry. It is natural silk-like softness and wavy style make it one of the best hair systems preferred by most clients. Given the immense popularity and demand for European hair, many retailers try to pass on the thin and soft versions of Chinese and Indian hair as this hair type to their customers.
The difference between synthetic hair and human hair is in the fiber. The hair replacement system with synthetic hair is better at holding its hairstyle even after washing. Human hair looks and feels very real, but it has to be restyled after washing. Synthetic Hair and Human Hair have their own advantages and limitations which make them the right choice from different people. Optimally, you will choose to have both on hand as they each have their pluses!

The Cons:
Remy hair gets its name after the manner in which it is handled and stored, which is from the “root-to-tip”. This hair is cut directly from the head and ordered from “root-to-tip” to ensure that it is processed in the right order. Since the Remy hair is arranged in the direction of its natural growth, the cuticle layers are in the same direction and hence do not become tangled when the hair is wet.
The Virgin hair is totally unprocessed and has its cuticle layer still intact as it is not subjected to coloring or perming, whether it is straight or curly. This type of hair is generally collected from a single person, which is why it is raw and not chemically processed. Given the absolute purity of our Virgin hair, it has the color and texture of “dark brown” or “off-black” with a straight, wavy or curly style.

1. Before Washing
Before cleaning the wig, it is best to take care of it to make it more straightforward. You can use a special comb for wigs (try not to use a plastic comb to avoid hanging the hair). Gently comb down from above, so that the dirt and dust left in the wig are combed down to ensure it is clean.
2. Water Temperature
There is also a requirement for the water temperature used for the wig. The water temperature should not be too high, and warm water is more suitable (about 20 degrees, but not higher than 25 degrees). In order to better care for wigs, some acidic treatments can be dissolved in water.

]]>How long do human hair wigs last? Actually, There is no one exact answer. Why? Like everything else, there are a lot of ifs when it comes to the life of a 100% human hair wig. In a very general answer, 100% human hair wigs which do not contain other fibers last 1- 3 years. Taking good care of your wig is essential to prolong its life and make it worth the investment!
There are a wide range of factors which ultimately impact the longevity of the human hair wigs.
The raw material plays a crucial role in determining the durability of any product. There are four basic types of human hair are usually used in wigs: Chinese, Indonesian, Indian, and European / Caucasian. Most wigs are produced of Asian hair. Chinese hair has a thicker denier (fine unit) resulting in very straight hair. It is a bit more resistant to curl and can therefore be harder to style. Indonesian hair is discovered in higher production and is less expensive – in ethnic style wigs it can often be discovered. Indian hair is closer to that of European hair but has a bit more texture. European hair is the most sought after for its good denier, but it is more costly because of its increasingly restricted market supply.
Processing technique is another factor that impact the life of a human hair wig, as it is directly related to the overall strength and quality of the end-product. The chemicals required to clean and strip the initial hair may differ from manufacturers. Then stripping the hair back will offer the chance to create different patterns of color and curl needed in wig manufacturing. Using higher quality manufacturing processes will result in a product that is superior and will have a greater price for the hair. In better-quality human hair wigs, the hair has had the least processing, colour treatments and will not include silicone additives (used to make the hair softer).
Remy human hair is one of the highest quality human hair wigs. When gathering and crafting the wig, hair follicles are kept going in the same direction. Tangling is significantly decreased with cuticles all running in the same direction and hair looks and feels silkier. Beware imposters with suspiciously low-priced product – on hairbro.com you’ll only find high-grade Remy hair.
The length of the human hair wigs can also impacts how long your wigs last. The longer the human hair wig is, the greater risk to the life of wigs. Hair on wigs can be damaged by combing, brushing, tangling or even the friction of the hair when rubbing against collars, clothing or human skin. The shorter the hair on the 100% human hair wigs, the longer the wig will last.
The more your wear your human hair wigs, the faster it will wear out. That’s the truth, plain and simple. It is recommended to buy 2 or 3 human according to your needs.

Wild hair is more susceptible to breaking off so when you try to comb through the curls when it is dry you happen to be just begging to break off some hair ends by tugging on knots and tangles. Only comb using a wide tooth comb when it is wet.
Wash hair once a week
Shampoo your hair at least once a week. Shampoo your hair more often if you have increased perspiration or have been in a dusty environment. Curly textures require frequent shampoos or co-washes to look its best hair. Wet you hair slowly and apply shampoo generously. Do not massage or rub the hair against itself. Gently comb hair with a wide tooth comb or your fingers to remove any tangles and wash in a downward motion. Rinse shampoo out thoroughly. Apply a moisturizing conditioner or mask. Use a wide tooth comb or fingers to work the conditioner into your hair. Put on a shower cap and wait for at least 10 – 30 minutes, and then rinse out conditioner out thoroughly.
Substitute conditioner for shampoo Wash your hair in a downward motion, working conditioner from the top down in one motion. Rinse well and then style. This is great for curly styles. it also moisturizes the hair and prevents it from being dry and frizzy.
Air dry hair or set the hair, while wet, on rollers for curls. When hair is completely dry, apply more serum or light hair to hair if required. If you must use heat, to dry or style the hair, be sure you use a leave in conditioner first and heat protector
Deep Condition
To keep you hair in tip- top shape, use a deep conditioner or hot oil treatment in your hair twice a month. More or less, depending on the hair’s need. This is very important if you have colored the hair or use hair strengtheners.
Styling your curly hair
As mentioned above, always keep your hair extensions tangle free. Brush or comb gently and avoid any excess tension. Always comb or brush hair from the bottom up, small sections at a time. The more careful you treat your extensions the longer they will last. Support your attachment when brushing or combing your hair. We also strongly recommend the use of a de-tangling brush to comb your hair extensions every day so that it does not develop tangles especially in the nape area.
Our Natural Hair Extensions can be styled as you would your own hair. You can blow dry, curl with curling iron, straighten with a flat iron, dye with a hair dye, and style it as you would your own hair. Heat is your hair biggest enemy. The more you use it, the shorter the life span of your hair. Use heat in moderation. Do not use high temperatures. High temperatures can damage the hair and permanently alter the hair texture. Get a heat protector to spray on your hair before using a wand or strengtheners. Use styling products that are alcohol free.
Put your hair “up” at night. Plait, pin or roll (using bendy rollers) your hair before going to sleep. This is important in preventing tangles. Never sleep with loose wet hair, for it may tangle while you sleep. Sleep with a satin cap or on a satin covered pillow.

It is unbelievably that, there are quite a number of people in this day and age who still walk around with dirty, smelly weaves! Funny enough, some of them believe that weaves are not have to be washed as often. However, this is absurd because if you have paid top dollar for it why should you neglect it? For others, the challenge is how to wash their weaves. If you are one of those who have a problem when it comes to washing weaves, here is the general procedure on how to wash Brazilian Hair:
The first step is to straighten your weave. Separate your hair into two segments, one half flowing to the back and the other pushed over your chest then gently entangle the hair using a paddle brush or a wide toothed comb.
With your head bent forward, wet your hair using warm water in a downward motion starting from where the tracks are. This can either be done in a shower, bath tab or using a container full of water. Do not soak the weave as this may interfere with the tracks beneath the weaves especially if they are glued.
Next apply some moisturizing shampoo, the same way as you did with the warm water. Shampoo removes any dirt, dandruff and excess oils from your natural hair. Once the hair is wet enough, apply a small amount of moisturizing shampoo in a downward motion to remove the initial dirt and excess oils from your hair. I recommend Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo, because it stops my weave from feeling brittle and dry. You’ll find that the hair is very hard to lather up at this stage, but this is normal. Rinse, then repeat this process again until the water runs clear. If the weave does not lather, repeat this process several times until it lathers. Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo is ideal for this process because it prevents the weave from feeling dry and brittle. Rinse your hair several times until all the shampoo has been removed from your hair.
Once you have rinsed your hair, apply a hair conditioner and leave it for 15 minutes before rinsing it. I would recommend the Herbal Essence Conditioner to accompany the shampoo mentioned above. You may also opt to skip using the above shampoo and co-wash instead. Always make sure that you rinse it thoroughly to prevent any product from accumulating in your hair.
Finally, it is probably best to air dry the hair or sit under a dryer. Some people add leave in conditioners or oils to the hair before they dry it but I find this unnecessary, as we would have already moisturised with the conditioner. It is imperative that your tracks are dry before you leave the house or go to bed, otherwise they will fester and you get that funky smell!
How often should you wash your weave? Well, this would depend on the type of weave you are using. In addition, curly hairs generally need to be washed more regularly in order it to maintain their curl pattern.

Male Pattern Baldness Caused by Innate Factors
Aquired Factors Lead to Hair Loss
1.1 What is male pattern baldness?
Pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of male hair loss. The hair loss starts from both temples, and then, the hairline recedes to form a characteristic “M” shape. The male pattern baldness form of androgenetic alopecia accounts for more than 95% of hair loss in men. Male pattern baldness can begin in your teenage years, but it more commonly occurs in adult men, with the likelihood increasing with age. Men who have close relatives with male pattern baldness will be more likely to it, especially, when their relatives are on the maternal side of the family.
1.2 What causes male pattern baldness?
Androgenetic alopecia is associated with male sex hormones called androgens which contributes to the development of what is thought of as “male” sex characteristics, such as body hair. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is an androgen and it is derived from testosterone. Both of them are androgens or hormones that contribute to male sex characteristics when people go through puberty. They are responsible for muscular growth, deeper voices, and sex drive, etc. When the testosterone was converted to the less useful dihydrotestosterone, men will experience hair loss because dihydrotestosterone will attack and shrinks the hair follicles.
1.3 How gene or hormone affects hair in men?
When the testosterone was converted to the less useful dihydrotestosterone, men will experience hair loss because dihydrotestosterone will attack and shrinks the hair follicles. Male pattern baldness sufferers have the hair follicles with a genetic sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Hair follicles sensitive to DHT are easy to miniaturize, which will shorten its lifespan. The shrunken hair follicle gradually produces shorter and finer strands of hair, and finally, it stops growing hair.
2.1 Medications and Chemotherapy
Hair loss is one of the many side effects that some cancer drugs can cause, such as gentamicin, allopurinol, hyperthyroidine, thiouracil, trimethylene diketone, propranolol (propranolol), phenytoin sodium, aspirin, and indomethacin. Even though they are successful in treating a physical problem, they destroy the rapid dividing of cells like hair, leading to hair loss. Radiation therapy, as a cure for cancer, is also a major cause of hair loss. About 70 % cancer patients need radiation during treatment, this is a local treatment that causes hair loss only where the radiation targets.
In addition to chemotherapy that causes hair loss, those taking medication for high blood pressure, such as blood thinners and beta-blockers may also experience temporary hair loss. Even some antidepressants, anti-fungal antibiotics, and birth control will also cause hair loss.
Don’t worry, once medication and chemotherapy are stopped, your hair will naturally return.
2.2 Stress
Nervous tension, depression, fear, or severe insomnia can all cause neurological dysfunction, when the capillaries contract, the hair follicles don’t get enough blood supply, and the scalp is located at the top of the body, so hair is the easiest to fall out.
Psychological factor still can affect the growth cycle of the hair, the eyesight fatigue of a long time, overweight mental pressure, excessively nervous, impatient or anxious mood, stay up late, etc., all can bring about hair growth cycle to shorten, appear alopecia phenomenon, bring about early baldness.
Luckily, appropriate adjustment and relaxation can alleviate the symptoms of hair loss.
2.3 Lifestyle
Start talking about diet, firstly, long-term picky eating can bring about the lack of vitamin, cause metabolic obstacle and the lack of amino acid inside the body. As a result, the hair falls out due to malnutrition. Secondly, excessive smoking and drinking can also cause hair loss. Smoking will reduce blood circulation and weaken the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. When alcohol is consumed, it is metabolized into acetaldehyde, which directly affects the function and morphology of proteins in the body. These influences will lead to premature hair follicle into the rest period, form unconventional hair drop increase. Then, sugar or salt overdose, protein deficiency, B group vitamin deficiency, iron deficiency, zinc deficiency, insufficient or excessive selenium, also cause hair loss. Finally, if you take anabolic steroids to strengthen your muscles, you may lose your hair. Anabolic steroids have the same effect on the body as polycystic ovary disease (PCOS).
Stay up late for a long time will bring damage to the endocrine system and nervous system, and will affect the growth cycle, there is a great possibility to aggravate hair loss.
Haircare products such as perms and hair dyes are common causes of hair loss. Ironing your hair regularly, using chemicals that are harmful to your hair, such as styling foam and hair dyes, or tying your hair too tightly can cause hair to fall out.
When you notice that you are excessively losing hair, the first step is to identify its cause and then seek the possible treatment. Hope this information given on this page will give you some ideas of what to discuss with your doctor and then decide the best treatment.

]]>We know that smoking can cause many health problems and physical changes, such as lung cancer, oral cancer, heart disease, yellowing nails and teeth and so on. Smoking is one of the reasons for a lot of health problems, but does smoking cause the loss of hair?
Scientists have long speculated that cigarette smoke will accelerate hair loss. This association is mainly due to toxins in the smoke that damage hair follicles and hormones. According to a survey of 743 males in Taiwan with an average age of 65 , it was found that smokers had a higher rate of hair loss, a risk that increased with increasing smoking.
So how does smoking affect hair loss? According to a number of scientific studies, there are several surprising ways cigarette smoke can trigger hair loss.
The main components of tobacco are: nicotine, caffeine, acetone, aluminum, ammonia/amonia, arsenic, benzene, butane, cadmium, tellurium, carbon monoxide, goroside and cyanide/cyanide. Among these ingredients, nicotine and caffeine have the greatest impact on hair. It is concluded that nicotine can damage hair follicles during smoking, which not only affects the circulation of blood and hormones in the scalp, but also increases the secretion of androgen, which leads to hair loss.
Hair follicles need oxygen, nutrients and minerals to produce healthy hair. Nicotine in tobacco can shrink blood vessels, which in turn causes blood circulation disorders and impedes blood flow. When the hair follicles don’t get enough nourishment they’re forced to go into the resting stage of their cycle, which then leads to them fall out.
DHT is an androgen that helps to give men male traits. It is believed that DHT will shrink hair follicles, leading to hair loss in men. Cigarettes increase the production of DHT in the body, leading to an increased chance of hair loss and a receding hairline.
Nicotine in tobacco can stimulate the body’s dopamine system to accelerate the secretion of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that promotes the secretion of adrenaline in humans, which can cause excitement. When the secretion of adrenaline increases, it will increase the secretion of oil in the scalp, thereby severely blocking the hair follicle, making the hair follicle unable to breathe the air. This can affect your metabolism and disrupt the environment in which your hair grows, eventually causing hair loss.
Most of the harmful substances such as smoke and soot generated during smoking are alkaline and contain a lot of harmful substances. But our scalp is weakly acidic. Smoking for a long time, the smoke dust covering will destroy the pH of the scalp and finally affect hair growth.
Bottom Line
So, does smoking cigarettes cause hair loss? The fact of the matter is that smoking has an ill effect on your body internally. It affects your body on a cellular level. Therefore, directly or indirectly, it could be a cause of hair loss. If you notice that your hair is thinning or even falling out, try to quit smoking.
