Keeping Your Hair System Soft
TIPS TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SOFTNESS
What’s sebum?
Glad you asked. Sebum is a natural semi-fluid secreted by the sebaceous gland. Your sebaceous glands are most commonly found attached to individual hair follicles where they can deposit sebum and bring it to the skin surface along the hair shaft.
This sebum coating helps to keep your naturally growing hair hydrated, strong and soft. Unfortunately, the hair attached to your hair system doesn’t enjoy such a luxury.
What can be done to keep the hair softer for longer?
Maintaining a soft head of hair is a problem we all face. It’s one of those unfortunate and inevitable realities that come along with wearing a hair replacement system. But there are a few tips you might find helpful.
Keeping your hair replacement system from feeling like straw is just as much about what you don’t do as it is about what you do, do.
