Can I wear a wig while swimming
For women whose hair is not excellent, wigs are an indispensable item for them to pursue beauty. They have been wearing wigs while they are outside. They wear wigs for parties, outings, dates, swimming, and everything in daily life. Wait! Swim? Can I wear a wig when I go swimming?
The answer is definitely YES. But if you want your human hair wig fully unharmed, the answer is NO.
Here are something you need to know when you want to go swimming:
Why will sea water do harm to human hair
1. Chlorine is an irritating chemical that makes your human hair wig dry and curl. If not cleaned in time, the damage will be more serious.
2. High salt solutions absorb water from nearby low salt solutions. Therefore, when human hair wig is released in seawater, the water in the hair will be absorbed by the seawater. Chloride-containing seawater then enters the inside of the hair, causing the hair to dry.
What should I do if I want to swim with my human hair wig on
You will need a swimming cap.
First, moisten the hair with fresh water so that the hair absorbs sufficient moisture. Then bring a swimming cap, which can minimize the direct contact of seawater with human wigs. After completing the above two steps, you can enter the sea to swim.
After swimming, I highly recommend using chlorine removal shampoo. There are many brands of this kind of shampoo on the market. After shampooing, you will notice that your hair becomes smoother than after swimming.
These tips are also suit for your natural hair. Remember to take a good care of it.
Other tips of swimming with a wig
1. If you just swim in freshwater, of course there will be no chlorine. Then your human hair wig won’t damage like in the seawater.
2. Wear a synthetic wig when swimming. Synthetic wig will not get dry when you swim in seawater.
3. If you don’t mind seawater damage your natural hair, just take your human hair off. Noted that swimming cap can also protect your natural hair.
