Wigs, especially human hair wigs, will gradually lose their luster after wearing them for a while. If you don’t take care of them in time, your wig hair will become dull and dry, and even knotted together. At this time, you can condition the hair with common things at home to make it shiny again. If you are interested in this, please continue reading this blog.
1. Egg
Eggs can not only be cooked in the kitchen to providing nutrients for the human body in daily life but also can be used in wig hair care. Let’s take a look at how eggs work to produce magical effects.
1.1 Do eggs work in wig hair conditioning?
Yes, they do. It is well known that the main component of human hair is keratin, which accounts for about 97%. So, what is keratin? It is a natural type of protein in the skin, hair, and nails. Therefore, in order to make hair shiny and healthy, a large amount of protein supplementation is essential.
Eggs are rich in protein. They can provide a good supply of protein to wig hair from the outside. Just like a water-deficient plant, once you give it enough water, it will rejuvenate and become healthy and strong. And your hair will become elastic, soft, and shiny again.
1.2 How do you use eggs to condition the wig?
You can make an egg, yogurt, and olive oil hair mask. Mix one egg, one tablespoon of olive oil, and half a tablespoon of yogurt in a bowl. If the mixture is too thick, add a little coconut milk to it. Apply this mixture to the dry wig hair and leave for 45 minutes. Then rinse off the mask with clean water.
In addition, you can also use eggs in shampooing the human hair wig. You can add a small amount of protein to the shampoo, and massage the hair lightly to achieve a better cleaning effect. At the same time, after washing, you can mix the egg yolk with a small amount of vinegar, apply it slowly along the hair, wrap it in a towel for 1 hour, and then rinse it off with water.
2. Tea
Tea is a common drink in life. Tea contains more than 300 kinds of nutrients, including vitamin B, vitamin A, vitamin E, and other trace elements. Drinking tea regularly will bring many benefits to the human body, such as improving mental state, improving skin condition, promoting fat decomposition, reducing calcium loss, and so on. But do you know that wig hair can also be benefited by “drinking tea”?
2.1 Is tea beneficial to the wig hair?
Yes, it is. Tea has a miraculous effect on human hair care. There are about 4% water-soluble protein, 4% free amino acids (up to 20 or more), and various trace elements such as iodine, sodium, iron, and magnesium in tea. Therefore, tea can be good for hair smoothness and luster. Among all kinds of teas, green tea and black tea are good choices.
Green tea is a good source of polyphenols, vitamin C, and vitamin E, which help promote hair growth and soften hair. This makes green tea an essential ingredient in the manufacture of shampoos and conditioners, as its components are known to enhance hair shine.
Black tea is rich in tea polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals, which can effectively condition your wig hair. After washing, rinse the black tea through your hair and massage gently. And your hair will become brighter. Black tea is a natural and nutritious hair shampoo and conditioner, which can be used for a long time to make hair clean and fragrant with luster.
2.2 How does wig hair “drink tea”?
First, put an appropriate amount of tea leaves into a pot and add boiling water. Then leave it until the water temperature drops to room temperature.
Second, shampoo and rinse your wig hair while waiting for the water to cool down.
Third, soak your hair in the tea water for 10 minutes. Note that all the tea leaves should be taken out, otherwise it will be difficult to take them out of the hair.
Fourth, rinse your hair with clean water and dry it. Washing hair with tea can make the wig soft and shiny.
3. Beer
Beer is the oldest alcoholic beverage of mankind and also the third most consumed beverage in the world after water and tea. In this blog, however, beer is used as a wig hair conditioner.
3.1 Why is beer good for hair?
Beer is rich in nutrients and contains calcium, phosphorus, amino acids, vitamins, etc. Washing hair with beer can directly act on the inside of the hair. It is an easy way to achieve the effect of repairing damaged hair and reviving shine at home.
The production process of beer is anaerobic fermentation, which contains carbonic acid and acetic acid. Since the weak acid can close the cuticles and soften the hair, the weak acidity of beer is more natural and healthier than conditioners, with few side effects.
3.2 What should I do to condition the wig hair with beer?
You can use beer when washing your wig hair. During this process, you should wash and dry your hair first. And then, apply 1/8 of the whole bottle of beer evenly on your wig hair, and do some hand massage to make the beer penetrate the hair.
Pay special attention to time. After 15 minutes, rinse your hair with clean water, and then use a wooden comb or a horn comb to smoothen your hair. The effective nutrients in beer have a good therapeutic effect on preventing dry hair. So, finally, you can have a shiny and smooth wig again.
