Typically, scalps can become hot, tight and sore. Caring for your scalp will improve its condition. If you need to cool down when you are out and about, find somewhere private to use a cooling spritz .

Scalp Care Routine Cleanse

Use a natural cleansing balm to clean your scalp. It is undercover most of the time and bacteria can grow in the humid conditions between you and your wig.

Use a hot cotton cloth or an exfoliating sponge to remove the balm. Dry skin cells will be removed along with the balm. Exfoliating your scalp can reduce itchiness.

Have a quick spritz at hand to cool the area and then leave to dry.

If your scalp has been getting tight, apply a small amount of soothing oil and allow it to be absorbed before replacing your wig.
