Hairstyles

Great hair starts with a healthy hair routine – when’s the last time you gave your hair habits a health check?

Whether it’s been a couple months, several years, or never (no judgment) the good news is a healthy hair routine isn’t rocket science. It’s all about identifying what your hair needs and having the right natural hair products to keep your hair looking and feeling great.

The number one hair need is moisture – you want a routine and natural hair products that deliver moisture and help lock it in. Depending on your hair type, you may also need hair products that lock in color or curls, help pump up the volume or repair any damage. The basics of a healthy hair routine include a great shampoo, conditioner, masks, and heat protectant. Natural hair products or organic hair products are also A++ on the healthy hair routine chart.

At Luxy, we have your hair extensions and your natural hair covered whether you’re looking to overhaul your hair routine, try something new, or still looking for what works best for your hair. Luxy’s new Wetline Haircare Collection features all the natural hair product staples you need. And did we mention that all these products are vegan too? 

Shampoo and Conditioner

Let’s start with the wash: How often you should wash your hair will depend on several factors, but most especially hair type. However, the general rule of thumb is you should wash your hair every 2-3 days. 

Reducing the number of times you wash your hair allows your scalp’s natural oils to nourish and moisturize your hair, while washing too often (or with harsh chemicals) strips your hair’s natural moisture and oils leading to dry, damaged hair and sometimes, itchy, flaky scalp.

Washing every few days is a hard habit to build up to, especially if you have oily hair or, just prefer a daily wash. When looking for a shampoo, you want one that not only cleanses, but nourishes. Luxy’s Charcoal Detox Shampoo does both. A natural detox shampoo with Organic Baobab Oil, Activated Charcoal, Aloe Vera, and more, Luxy’s Charcoal Detox Shampoo cleanses hair and scalp of product build-up and offers an extra deep clean compared to other shampoos, by helping to pull out impurities without stripping hair.

What makes this natural shampoo the best of both the cleansing and moisturizing worlds? The natural ingredients. Here’s a breakdown of what to look for:

Active ingredients

Organic Baobab Oil is derived from the baobab fruit a “superfruit” that has naturally occurring levels of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin C.

Used in several skincare products, activated charcoal helps to draw out impurities from deep within the pores. The shampoo also contains Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, a natural preservative and cleaning agent that helps to remove buildup without stripping hair of natural oils. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar also helps to seal the hair’s cuticle and helps to restore a healthy pH level. Organic Apple Cider Vinegar also helps soothe itchy scalp, dandruff, and naturally detangles.

Luxy’s Charcoal Detox Shampoo also contains Aloe Vera which is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and calming effects while also being moisturizing and hydrating.

It also has Grape Seed Oil which not only leaves hair soft and moisturized but also helps to restore hair’s natural shine and vibrancy. Finally, the shampoo also has Vitamin B-5 which naturally shine and luster to dull hair while also improving tensile strength.

Natural hair products like this one do not contain sulfates, parabens or phthalates – hair stripping ingredients that can damage and dry out your hair. 

Probably one of the best parts of this shampoo is that it’s safe for all hair types, color-treated hair, and even your hair extensions.

Hair extensions should be washed every 30 days on average. Should you use styling products on your hair extensions, you may need to wash more often. We have an easy to follow tutorial on how to wash your hair extensions.

In any good hair routine, a good shampoo is followed by an even better conditioner. Luxy’s High-Gloss Smoothing Conditioner is the perfect step 2 following your shampoo. The High-Gloss Smoothing Conditioner is a deeply hydrating, creamy and luxurious conditioner that cleanses and conditions hair leaving it silky smooth, shiny, and tangle-free.

Our conditioner also contains a lot of the same beneficial ingredients as the shampoo, including Organic Baobab Oil, Aloe Vera, Vitamin B-5 and grapeseed oil. But it also adds Organic Shea Butter, a natural source of fatty acid-rich moisture, Linseed Oil, which contains omega-3 alpha linolenic acid and vitamin E which encourages hair growth and helps keep hair strong, shiny healthy.

After shampooing, gently squeeze out any excess water in your hair and massage the conditioner throughout the length of the hair, focusing on the ends. Massage or leave the conditioned in for 3 -5 minutes then rinse thoroughly.

Repeat the shampoo and conditioner process on all your wash days to see a change in your hair’s strength, shine, and moisture.

While both new products mentioned above are safe for color-treated hair, we had to make something especially for our blondes – whose color can be drastically impacted by the wrong shampoo and products. 

Luxy’s Balancing Purple Shampoo is specially formulated to maintain and brighten blonde hair, while also correcting any brassiness and neutralizing yellow tones that occur over time.

This gentle shampoo is formulated with pure violet pigments and also contains natural Organic Babassu Oil – especially important to help keep color-treated hair moisturized as the color chemicals can naturally dry out hair.

Whether your hair is salon blonde or natural, Luxy’s Balancing Purple Shampoo contains Organic Avocado Oil which is full of protein, vitamins, amino acids, folic acid and minerals that promote smooth and moisturized hair.

To help keep hair bouncy and full looking, our shampoo also contains Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, which has natural hair volumizing properties, that help to firm or strengthen strands and adds natural shine and highlights to the hair. Hydrolyzed Rice Protein is also good for your scalp, it helps to increase skin and hair’s ability to bind moisture and increase in flexibility. Hydrolyzed Rice Protein also helps to moisturize the scalp and is an anti-irritant, so forget dry, itchy scalp – we don’t know her. 

To further help strengthen hair and repair hair damage, we also added Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, which works similarly to keratin, and reduces hair surface damage, while also going deep enough for long-lasting, stronger hair.

Whether blondes have more fun will remain an eternal debate, a fact that can’t be debated is the importance of shine for blonde hair. To help maintain that natural shine and gloss and soft touch, the shampoo also contains Wheat Amino Acids for shiny, soft hair you won’t want to stop touching. Just remember touching your hair often can lead to oily hair, so touch in moderation.

To use Luxy’s Balancing Purple Shampoo, simply apply to wet hair and rinse thoroughly after 3-5 minutes. Follow up with the High-Gloss Smoothing Conditioner.

Hair Masks and Hair Oil

Whether you’re into DIY hair masks like Cardi B’s self-made kitchen creation hair mask, or have your go-to off the shelf favorites, the diverse array of problems hair masks can treat are endless. Whether it’s dry, damaged, or dull hair – there is a hair mask for that.

We wanted to make a hair mask that would treat the hair from root to ends, intensely moisturizing and conditioning to not only revitalize hair, but protect it. The Length Repairing Hair Mask does just that and more, by leaving hair shiny and silky smooth and soft.

Like our other Wetline Collection products, the star ingredient is Organic Baobab Oil. It also contains Caryocar Brasiliense Fruit Oil which helps to reduce frizziness and combat split ends while adding shine. Due to its fatty acid composition, also helps to treat the scalp by locking moisture into the skin.

To give the Length Repairing Hair Mask an extra moisturizing kick, we added Vitamin B-5, a moisturizing and conditioning agent that restores hair’s resilience, protects against breakage, strengthens hair, smooths hair and helps to reduce split ends.

Our hair mask is also packed with some of our favorite organic oils that naturally boost hair health:

Organic Jojoba Seed Oil – Rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish hair, including Vitamin B, C, E, copper, and zinc. Because it strengthens hair, it is also thought that jojoba oil can prevent hair loss and promote hair thickness.

Organic Coconut Oil – The best oil to use on your hair to reduce protein loss and keep it looking healthy. Coconut Oil reduces protein loss in hair that was undamaged, bleached, chemically treated and UV exposed.

Grape Seed Oil – Leaves hair soft and moisturized and helps restore hair’s natural shine and vibrancy.

To get the most out of the Length Repairing Hair Mask, apply to damp hair and leave it in for 15 – 20 minutes. You can also apply a shower cap to lock the moisture in. Rinse the mask out thoroughly. The mask can be used on hair wash days or in between.

As mentioned above, organic oils are super beneficial for hair and even for skin. It can be quickly absorbed into hair or skin and its effects are longer lasting. For those in-between wash days, or just a self-care day anytime of the week, the Luminous Shine Hair Oil can help leave hair feeling smooth and soft, without weighing it down or making it greasy.

Like the name suggests our hair oil helps to maintain the hair’s natural shine and works to detangle hair. As you could probably guess, it wouldn’t be an effective hair oil without the organic ingredient. The Luminous Shine Hair Oil contains Organic Baobab Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Grape Seed Oil and three new ones:

Kukui Nut Oil – The amino acids and essential fatty acids in kukui nut oil penetrate the hair shaft and leave hair looking healthy and moisturized.

Apricot Oil – Obtained from the dried kernels of the apricot tree, this is a lightweight oil that is rich in Vitamins A, E, and essential fatty acids.

Caryocar Brasiliense Fruit Oil – In hair care products, this oil will help to reduce frizziness and combat split ends while adding shine. Due to its fatty acid composition, it has excellent occlusive properties enabling it to act as a skin conditioning agent by preventing excessive loss of moisture through the skin. 

This hair oil is perfect for natural hair, color-treated hair and even your hair extensions. Simply apply 1 to 2 drops to damp or dry hair, before or after styling.

Heat styling products

No other hair habit causes more daily damage than heat styling. The best way to reduce the damage from heat styling including, heat styling less often and lowering the temperature on your curling iron or straightening iron – when styling your hair extensions with a heat styling tool, we recommend setting your tool at 120C/250F degrees or lower. Another way to help prevent heat styling damage is to apply a heat protectant.

Unlike some heat protectants, Luxy’s Heat Protectant Primer comes in a convenient spray bottle. It’s a lightweight, styling microemulsion spray that reduces drying time while also protecting from thermal-styling damage and color-fade.

The Heat Protectant Primer’s job isn’t done after you turn off your styling tool, it provides light hold throughout the day, leaving hair manageable and soft with less frizz for curly and straight hairstyles.

The primer contains a thermal protection up to 450°F and helps to keep your hair manageable and super conditioned, which combats heat damage.

The protectant spray also contains Multifaceted Microemulsion, which helps to retain color for both temporary and permanent hair dyes and enhances color luminosity. It also helps to get deep and penetrate the hair cuticle to offer deep conditioning.

For our wavy or curly hair girls, the Heat Protectant Primer spray has curl control, which provides hold without stiffness or dullness. It helps keep your curls bouncy and helps to hold curls longer without the frizz.

To use the primer, spray liberally throughout damp hair before heat styling as needed.

All our new products have a light Moroccan Argan scent – just another added benefit to healthy hair – smelling nice too. We’ve packed our hair essentials with trusted organic ingredients that have lasting effects on hair health. Whether you’re trying out Luxy’s line of products or exploring natural products for your healthy hair routine, be sure to review ingredients carefully. Look for specific products that target your hair issues or provide the benefits specific to your needs. 

Switching up your hair products every few months is also a good way to see what your hair needs – you may notice some benefits that may have been missing before. Long story short, you don’t have to stick to the same old routine – your hair will thank you for it.

Meet Kamia Adams,

Mother of 2, wife, boss, and CEO of Untangled Hair Care. Untangled was born out of a desire to get her hair back to a healthy state. She had been wearing weaves off and on for years, and around 2015, she had decided no more. Underneath the weave, her hair was damaged and broken off. As a result, she promised herself she would never wear a weave again. She started researching ways to get her hair back healthy quickly. She incorporated taking vitamins and switching up her hair care routine. She found stylists who didn’t use a lot of heat on her hair and started getting oxygen treatments and giving herself daily scalp massages to stimulate growth. She also formulated a hair growth oil that helped her grandmother’s hair grow back after her grandmother experienced hair loss from a medication she was taking. That’s when she realized she might be on to something special. She was then motivated by this positive experience to create a product line to share with the world.

The initial line consists of ten products designed to address different hair types and textures. These products include shampoo “Nothing But Shine,” conditioner “Tangle Me Out,” a deep conditioning hair mask, a leave-in conditioner “Knot At All,” a scalp scrub called “Detoxify Scalp Scrub,” edge controls called “Simply Laid,” a hair growth oil called “Overnight,” hair growth vitamins called “iGrow,” and a styling gel called “Hold, Shine, & Define.” All Untangled Hair Care products are natural and free of sulfates, silicons, and parabens. Our hope is that once you try our products, you’ll also fall in love with the ease of styling and maintaining the health of your tresses. 

Kamia was born and raised in Compton, California. She is also the founder of iWork Employment Services, which offers job training and coaching to adults with intellectual disabilities. This woman is perseverance personified. Though she makes it look easy, it was no small feat to get to where she is today. She lost her father when she was a teenager and is a domestic violence survivor. She’s had multiple businesses that didn’t stand the test of time but still managed to dig deep and try again, which is how she’s come to find success today. Faith and diligence are her mainstays.

When it comes to hair, there are a lot of options. You can go light or dark, straight or curly, short or long.

But what if you want to change your hair color from red to blonde?

Is that even possible? The answer is yes – it is possible to dye red hair blonde.

However, there are some things you need to keep in mind before you make the switch.

In this article, we will discuss what happens if you put blonde dye on red hair, and how to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Can You Dye Your Hair Blonde Over Red?

Yes, you can dye your hair blonde over red, but it won’t produce the desired result. To achieve a blonde result on red hair, you should use bleach or highlights your hair first.

Putting blonde dye directly over red would turn your hair orange, but using the right quantity of highlight or bleach would do the trick.

If you are looking to go blonde, it is best to consult with a professional hair stylist to ensure that your hair is healthy enough to be bleached and that you will achieve the result you desire.

If you are set on doing it yourself, then make sure to do a patch test first and carefully follow the instructions on the products you are using. Be mindful of how long you leave the bleach or dye in your hair to avoid damaging your locks.Advertisements

And lastly, use deep conditioning treatments regularly to keep your hair healthy and hydrated.

Next, we will tell you in more detail how to properly dye red hair blonde with box dye!

What Happens If You Bleach Red Hair?

If you’ve ever dyed your hair red, you know that it’s a stubborn color to get rid of. So what happens if you try to go blonde?

If you bleach your red hair, it will likely become a light copper color on the first try. Well, first of all, it’s going to take quite a bit of bleaching to remove the red pigment from your hair.

This means that your hair is going to be very dry and damaged after the process. Bleaching can be damaging to your hair, so it is important to use good-quality bleach and follow the instructions carefully.

Be sure to condition your hair well after bleaching to keep it healthy and hydrated.

The good news is that if you’re careful and use a good conditioner, you can still end up with beautiful blonde hair. Just be prepared for it to be a lot of work!

How To Go From Red To Blonde Hair

If you are looking to bleach red hair to blonde, there are a few different methods you can use. You can use store-bought lightening kits, or you can use natural lightening methods.

Bleaching

If you’re looking to go from red to blonde hair, bleaching is the way to go. Though bleaching your hair can be a bit of a process, it’s not as difficult as you might think. With the right products and some patience, you can achieve blonde hair at home.

To start, you’ll need to gather some supplies. Bleaching your hair will require bleach powder, peroxide, a bowl and brush for mixing, gloves, and old towels or clothes that you don’t mind getting bleach on.

Once you have everything gathered, you can begin the bleaching process.

Start by mixing the bleach powder and peroxide together in the bowl according to the instructions on the bleach package. Once the bleach is mixed, put on your gloves and begin applying it to your hair in sections.

Be sure to avoid getting any bleach on your skin, as it can be irritating. After you’ve applied the bleach to all of your hair, allow it to sit for the amount of time indicated on the bleach package. Once the time is up, rinse the bleach out of your hair with cool water.Advertisements

You may need to repeat the bleaching process a few times to achieve the desired lightness. Once you’ve reached your desired level of lightness, you can move on to toning your hair.

Toning will help to neutralize any brassiness that may have resulted from bleaching.

To tone your hair, you’ll need to use a purple shampoo or toner. Apply the purple shampoo or toner to your wet hair and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it out.

You may need to repeat the toning process a few times to achieve the desired results. Once you’re happy with the way your hair looks, you can style it as usual.

Just be sure to use gentle, sulfate-free products to avoid damaging your newly bleached hair.

Conditioner with Lemon Juice

So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and dye your red hair blonde with a natural method. Just follow these steps and you’ll be well on your way to gorgeous, blond locks.

1. Start by mixing together a bleaching solution. You’ll need 1 part lemon juice to 2 parts conditioner. Apply this mixture to your dry, red hair.
2. Then, wrap your head in a shower cap or plastic bag and wait for 30 minutes.
3. After 30 minutes, shampoo and condition your hair as usual.

Now, it’s time to apply the blonde dye. Choose a shade that’s one or two shades lighter than your desired final color. Apply the dye according to the package instructions, then wait the recommended time before rinsing it out.

Once you’ve rinsed out the dye, take a look at your hair in the mirror. If you’re happy with the color, you’re done! If you want to lighten your hair even more, you can repeat steps 1-4 until you reach your desired shade.

So there you have it! Dyeing your red hair blonde is actually quite simple.

Just remember to bleach your hair first, then apply a shade of blonde dye that’s one or two shades lighter than your desired final color.

With a little patience and some effort, you’ll be rocking beautiful, blond locks in no time.

AdvertisementsHow Long Does It Take to Go from Red to Blonde?

The time it takes to go from red to blonde hair depends on a few factors, including the current color of your hair, the desired end result, and the health of your hair.

If you have dark red hair, for example, it will likely take multiple bleaching and coloring sessions to achieve a platinum blonde shade. In-between stages may be an orangey copper or light golden red.

Going from a lighter red shade to blonde is easier and faster, but it still might take a few rounds of bleach. Damage is inevitable when lightening hair, so expect some breakage and use extra conditioner to keep your strands healthy.

Red dyes contain pigments that are larger than those found in other colors, so they can be stubborn to remove. In general, though, most people can expect the entire process to take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours.Advertisements

When coloring at home, always do a patch test first and follow the package directions carefully. If your hair is already damaged, it’s best to leave bleaching and coloring to a professional stylist.

Will Dark Ash Blonde Cover Red Hair?

No, dark ash blonde will not cover red hair. You will need to use bleach or a lightener to remove the red hair dye first. Once you have removed the red hair color, you can then use any type of box-dye or semi-permanent dye in the ash blonde or silver-toned family.

Be sure to do a strand test beforehand to find out which shade and tone of ash blonde will work best with your natural red hair color.

FAQ

How many sessions does it take to go from red to blonde?

It usually takes 2-3 sessions to go from red to blonde. However, this will vary depending on the starting color, desired color, and individual hair type.

What is the process of going from red to blonde?

The process of going from red to blonde generally involves lightening the hair with bleach, then toning it to achieve the desired shade. This can be done in one session, or may require multiple sessions depending on the starting color and desired result.

Can I dye over red hair?

You can’t simply apply a new shade of hair dye over the red and hope it will work because most of the time, it won’t. Hair that has been dyed can’t be lightened effectively with more hair dye, and the hair dye itself won’t neutralize the red tone either if it’s the wrong shade.

You’ll likely need to use a bleaching kit first to lighten the hair, then follow up with a shade of blonde dye that’s one or two shades lighter than your desired final color.

Summary

If you want to go from red hair to blonde, it is best to consult with a professional hair stylist to ensure that your hair is healthy enough to be bleached and that you will achieve the result you desire.

If you are set on doing it yourself, then make sure to do a patch test first and carefully follow the instructions on the products you are using. Be mindful of how long you leave the bleach or dye in your hair to avoid damaging your locks.Advertisements

And lastly, use deep conditioning treatments regularly to keep your hair healthy and hydrated. With the right care and products, you can achieve beautiful blonde hair from red hair. Just be prepared for it to be a lot of work!

It’s happened to all of us. You’re out and about, and suddenly you feel something hitting your leg. You look down and see a clump of hair on the ground. Oh no, your lace front wig has started shedding! This can be a huge embarrassment, especially if it happens in public. Even if it doesn’t happen in public, it’s still annoying to have your wig shedding all over the place. But don’t worry; there are ways to keep your human hair lace front wigs from shedding. With a little bit of care and attention, you can keep your wig looking great and prevent it from embarrassing you. In this blog post, we will discuss how to keep your lace front wig from shedding and embarrassing you. We will also provide tips for keeping your wig looking its best! Whether you’re new to wearing wigs or you’ve been wearing them for years, this blog post is for you. Let’s get started!

What are the causes of Wig Shedding?                     

Nothing is more frustrating than dealing with a shedding wig. But before we can discuss how to prevent shedding, it’s important to understand the causes of wig shedding. There are several factors that can contribute to wig shedding, including:

Brushing the Wet Wig:

One of the main reasons for wig shedding is brushing the wig when it is wet. When you brush your wig when it is dry, it is less likely to shed than when it is wet. Wet hair is more fragile and more likely to break than dry hair, so be sure to brush your wig when it is dry to avoid damaging it.

Exposing Your Wig to the Sun:

Exposing your wig to the sun can damage it and make the hair more likely to shed. If you must expose your wig to the sun, be sure to do so for a short period of time and to protect it with a scarf or hat. If you are going to be outside for an extended period of time, it is best to avoid exposing your wig to the sun altogether.

Wearing Your Wig Too Tight:

Another common cause of wig shedding is wearing your wig too tight. If you wear your wig too tight, it can put a strain on the hair and cause it to shed. Be sure to adjust your wig so that it is comfortable and not too tight to avoid damaging the hair or causing it to shed. 

Using the Wrong Products on Your Wig:

Using the wrong products on your wig can also cause it to shed. When choosing products for your wig, be sure to select those that are specifically designed for wigs. Using products that are not meant for wigs can damage the hair and cause it to shed.

Not Attaching the Wig Correctly:

Not Attaching the Wig correctly can also cause it to shed. If you do not attach your wig correctly, it can put a strain on the hair and cause it to shed. This is why it is important to read the instructions carefully and follow them when attaching your wig.

Now that we have discussed the causes of wig shedding, let’s move on to how to keep your HD lace wig from shedding.

Best ways to keep your Wig from Shedding

You all know how frustrating it is to have a shedding wig. But don’t worry; there are ways to keep your wig from shedding. With a little bit of care and attention, you can keep your wig looking great and prevent it from embarrassing you. Here are some tips for keeping your wig from shedding:

Start with clean hair:

Most HD lace wigs come with a little bit of shedding; however, if you make sure to start with clean hair, it will help to keep the shedding to a minimum. Be sure to gently shampoo your wig with a quality wig shampoo, and then condition it. This will help to remove any dirt, oil, or product build-up that could be causing the shedding.

Improve the Way You Comb Your Wig:

If you’re using a wig brush, gently glide the brush through your hair from the bottom up. Start at the nape of your neck and work your way up to the top of your head. If you’re using a wide-toothed comb, start at the ends of your hair and slowly work your way up. Be sure to be extra careful when brushing around the hairline of your wig, as this is a delicate area. Too much force can cause the hair to shed. 

Wash your wig regularly:

To be on the safe side, it is best to wash your wig every 2-3 weeks. Washing your wig regularly will help to remove any dirt or build-up that could be causing the shedding. When washing your wig, be sure to use a quality wig shampoo and conditioner.

Store your wig properly:

When you’re not wearing your wig, make sure to store it on a wig stand or mannequin head. This will help to keep the wig’s shape and prevent tangles. If you must store your wig in a box, be sure to use a box that is big enough so that the wig doesn’t get squished.

Invest in a good wig cap:

A wig cap will help to keep your own hair underneath the wig in place and can also help to reduce shedding. Never wear a wig without a wig cap, as this can cause your own hair to shed.

Ways to Keep Your Wig in Place While You Sleep

In addition to the tips above, there are also a few things you can do to keep your wig in place while you sleep. This will help to prevent tangles and shedding.

Try a silk scarf:

Wrapping your head in a silk scarf before bed can help to keep your wig in place and prevent it from tangling. When choosing a scarf, be sure to select one that is made of silk or another smooth fabric.

Use bobby pins:

If you have long hair, you can use bobby pins to secure your wig in place. Gently pull your hair back and secure the wig with bobby pins. Be sure not to use too many, as this can cause the wig to slip.

Use a wig liner:

A wig liner is a great way to keep your wig in place while you sleep. Wig liners are made of a soft fabric that helps to hold the wig in place and prevent it from slipping. 

Things to keep your wig from embarrassing you by shedding

Now that we have discussed some of the best ways to keep your wig from shedding, let’s move on to how to keep your wig from embarrassing you.

Do not wear your wig in public without a wig cap:

Wearing your wig in public without a wig cap is asking for trouble. Not only will your own hair start to shed, but the wig itself could also start to shed. If you must wear your wig in public, be sure to wear a wig cap to avoid any embarrassing shedding.

Do not wear your wig in windy conditions:

Wearing your wig in windy conditions is a surefire way to cause shedding. If you must be in windy conditions, be sure to secure your wig with a scarf or bobby pins.

Do not wear your wig while participating in any physical activity:

Wearing your front lace wig while participating in any physical activity is a recipe for disaster. Not only will you be sweating, but the wig could also become tangled or shed. If you must participate in physical activity, be sure to remove your wig first.

Do not wear your wig while swimming:

Just like with physical activity, wearing your wig while swimming is a surefire way to cause shedding. The chlorine in the water could damage the wig, and the wig could also become tangled or shed. If you must swim, be sure to remove your wig first.

Do not wear your wig while sleeping:

Wearing your wig while sleeping is a bad idea for two reasons. First, you could damage the wig while you are tossing and turning. Second, the wig could become tangled or shed while you are sleeping. If you must wear your wig while sleeping, be sure to use a silk scarf or wig liner to keep it in place.

Do not wear your wig in hot, humid conditions:

Wearing your wig in hot, humid conditions is a surefire way to cause the wig to shed. If you must be in hot, humid conditions, be sure to use a scarf or bobby pins to secure the wig in place.

Choose a reliable hair brand

Definitely TikTok. It’s the place where you can get a little bit of everything. A great laugh, helpful tips/hacks and lots of product recommendations! Some of my favorite creators are @mary_skinner, @iconicakes & @oldloserinbrooklyn 

What was the last book that you read that made a huge impact on your life?

I think that everyone should read The Defining Decade by Meg Jay at least once in their life. It has some amazing nuggets of wisdom, especially for people in their teens and twenties. Life is a journey of growth, so it’s so important to practice patience and kindness with yourself! 

What is your daily mantra or words to live by? 

One of my favorite quotes is: “Greatness is not your destiny, but rather, a decision that you make.” It’s an amazing reminder to work hard towards your goals, and to not be discouraged by any obstacle in your path.

What’s your horoscope sign and how would you describe yourself in 3 words?

I’m a Sagittarius! If I had to describe myself in three words I’d use: empathetic, creative, and loving. I’m a big kid at heart!
