It’s time to bring some ease to all hair system users. When using a hairpiece, NO significant changes have to be made in your routine. You can rely on your new hair as if it was your own. Simple everyday activities like washing your hair, brushing it or sleeping on it can still be done with just a few precautions.

Spring is coming to an end and finally summer will be here. And with summer there are more water related activities such as going to pool parties or spending the weekend at the beach. If you are a new hair system wearer you might be nervous about this. But once again, there is no need for you to be concerned.
You may be thinking that your hairpiece gets wet every time you wash it so, what’s the big deal? Swimming in the pool or the ocean is not the same as washing your hair system. These summer activities have two elements within the water that is harmful for any hair system: chlorine or salt.
This is why you need to be prepared when going for a swim in water that has salt or chlorine. There are three simple things you need to do to ensure that you enjoy summer without any setbacks.
First, you need to designate a hairpiece for swimming. You should never wear one of your favorite wigs when you know you might end up at the pool or the beach. But just because you expect this hair system to experience more damage, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of it. You can prolong the lifespan and keep it looking as good as possible, with proper care. A good option is to use a leave-in conditioner. And last but not least, it is important that every time you go to the pool or beach, you make sure to use an adhesive that is waterproof.

One inconvenient you might come across at some point when wearing a hair solution is an unpleasant mildew-like smell. However, this can be both prevented and solved. Here is some advice:
To prevent bad odors hygiene is extremely important. You must regularly wash your hairpiece. Humidity, tobacco smoke, sweat, product build-up, and even everyday dust may get stuck in your hairpiece creating a nasty smell. If you follow appropriate washing and hygiene habits you’ll be sure to keep bad odors away.
Another important habit you must incorporate is the correct storage for your system. Failing to fully air dry a hairpiece before storage will lead to a musty smell on your system.
On the other hand, what happens if the odor is already there? There is a lot you can do! One of the easiest tricks is to rub a dryer sheet on your wig from the roots down. You will kill the scent ASAP!
