With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, many of us will be feeling the love right now! There’s no better way to treat yourself this Valentine’s than showing yourself some love, however.
In an age of self-love and self-care, we’re taking more time out to look after ourselves both inside and out. For people struggling with hair loss and thinning, giving your scalp, natural hair and wig you wear the tender loving care it deserves can go a long way.
In this blog post, we share our top tips for self-love and self-care for new wig wearers, so you can look after yourself and let your new, confident look shine through just the way it’s supposed to.
Scalp health is more important than people think, which is why many overlook scalp care when going through their beauty rituals every morning and evening. As Vogue India explains your scalp needs just as much TLC as the rest of your skin:
“The scalp is an extension of the face. The scalp skin is more delicate, and it has a higher number of sebaceous glands, sweat glands and hair follicles and a lower barrier function as compared to the skin on the rest of the body. It is therefore imperative to have a scalp care regime as good as the skincare regime for our face.”
Nurturing scalp health is the key to minimising and preventing hair loss. It also alleviates the itchiness, redness and irritation that make wearing a wig a real sore point for people suffering from hair loss and thinning.
Extend your skincare regime to your scalp to ensure it’s cleansed and moisturised. Treat yourself to a scalp massage every once in a while and use aloe vera to enhance scalp health further.
