The low down on liners

by | May 28, 2020 | Wigs

Wigs can be a great way to manage hair loss, boost your confidence and change your look. High-quality wigs cover thinning hair and make bald patches disappear. Easy to put on and easy to look after, wigs allow you to alter your hairstyle as often as you like.

If you want your wig to fit comfortably, look good and last as long as possible, you need to invest in a liner.

These handy accessories are very affordable and fit neatly under your wig, providing a range of benefits in the process.

Although you can wear a wig without a liner, incorporating one into your look could make your hairstyle even better.

Why wear a wig liner?

There are a number of reasons to wear a wig liner. For a start, they help to increase the comfort of your hairpiece.

While good quality wigs are generally comfortable on their own, if you wear them for a long period of time, they can begin to rub against your skin and cause irritation. Liners help to prevent this and keep your wig comfortable for longer.

Another benefit of wearing a wig liner is that it helps to keep your wig clean. As @Breastcancerorg says, “Wearing a nylon, mesh, or bamboo wig cap liner can help keep your wig clean by creating a barrier between the wig and the oils on your scalp.”

This means you can wash the liner rather than your hairpiece and won’t have to clean your wig as often, something that should make it last as long as possible.

There is a good choice of wig liners available to buy, with each offering its own range of benefits. Finding the material and the style that suits you will help you wear your wig with confidence and with comfort.

Medicap liner

The medicap wig liner has been designed with comfort, security and hygiene in mind. Made from 100% polyester to a standard size, it helps to prevent wigs from slipping and keeps them in place more effectively.

As well as making your wig more comfortable, the medicap liner makes it more hygienic. This is because it traps the natural oils released by your scalp, preventing them soaking into your wig base.

This means you can go for longer periods between washing your wig, something that should help your product last longer.

Bamboo liner

Bamboo is a durable, sustainable and versatile material that can be used to make a variety of products. Antibacterial, antifungal, hypoallergenic and pliable, bamboo is less likely to irritate your skin than other materials. What’s more, bamboo is able to wick moisture away from your body and is a great thermo regulator, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in summer. Three times more absorbent than cotton, this super soft fabric is the perfect choice for your wig liner.

Like the medicap liner, the bamboo liner is designed to help prevent your wig slipping out of place. It also helps to stop oils soaking into your hairpiece. If you suffer from sensitive skin, bamboo is ideal as it will help to keep your scalp cool and dry and prevent irritation.
