I'm Wearing a Hair System. Why Is My Hair Shedding, Fading, or Getting Dry?

1. Shedding:

Possible Causes:

1. Poor Attachment: If the hair system is not securely attached, it may lead to increased friction, causing hair to shed.
2. Incorrect Maintenance: Using harsh brushes, combing too vigorously, or failing to follow proper maintenance routines can contribute to shedding.

Tips to Address Shedding:

1. Ensure proper and secure attachment of the hair system.
2. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush specifically designed for hair systems.
3. Follow a gentle maintenance routine, avoiding excessive pulling or tugging.

2. Fading:

Possible Causes:

1. Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause color fading in both natural and synthetic hair.
2. Low-Quality Hair Dye: The quality of the dye used on the hair system may affect its longevity and resistance to fading.

Tips to Address Fading:

1. Minimize sun exposure by wearing hats or using UV protectants.
2. Choose high-quality, color-resistant hair dyes for touch-ups or customizations.

3. Dryness:

Possible Causes:

1. Lack of Moisture: Hair systems, like natural hair, require moisture to stay soft and vibrant.
2. Overuse of Styling Products: Excessive use of styling products can lead to product buildup and dryness.

Tips to Address Dryness:

1. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner designed for hair systems.
2. Avoid overusing styling products and opt for those with moisturizing properties.
3. Consider using leave-in conditioners or hair oils for added hydration.

General Tips for Hair System Care:

1. Regular Maintenance:

1. Follow a consistent maintenance routine, including washing and conditioning.
2. Schedule periodic touch-ups to address color fading or changes.

2. Professional Assistance:

1. Consult with a professional hairstylist experienced in working with hair systems.
2. Seek professional help for color adjustments or repairs.

3. Climate Considerations:

1. Adjust your hair care routine based on the climate to address humidity or dryness.
