When you’re going through hair loss or thinning, a wig can restore your confidence with volume and shine. But is there anything to know about wearing a wig every day and what are the best wigs for everyday use?
Is it ok to wear a wig every day?
When you gain confidence in wearing a wig, you may wish to wear it all the time! Wearing a wig every day is perfectly fine but requires a little extra care and diligence. You may be wondering, ‘if I wear it every day, how long will my wig last?’.
There are a few key things to bear in mind before choosing an everyday wig:
WIG SIZE DOES MATTER
Make sure you know your correct wig size by measuring your head yourself or asking a wig shop to help you with this. It would be uncomfortable to wear the wrong size shoes every day and the same applies to wigs.
A wig that is too big could rub against and irritate your skin during the day and one that is too small could be tight and painful to wear long-term and could even cause headaches.
Finding the correct size wig for you will help with comfort and fit, as will choosing the right wig cap.

KEEP YOUR WIG CLEAN
A wig cap not only makes your wig more comfortable to wear, but it also keeps your wig in place and keeps it in good condition by protecting it from sweat and oils from your scalp.
You can choose between a reusable cap made from nylon, mesh or bamboo or use a disposable one. You should only be washing your wig every 8-10 wears so using a protective cap helps prolong the cleanliness and quality of your wig in between washes.
You should always take your wig off before bed and store it on a sheltered wig stand or mannequin head to help retain its shape, prevent tangles and protect from dust.

Wig types for everyday wear
Depending on what you are looking for, there are benefits of each type of wig. Let’s take a look at each type:
