Will wearing a wig cause allergies? What are the causes of allergies? Let the editor from wig manufacturing and processing factories tell you!
One of the risks of wearing a wig is hair loss! If the wig is worn improperly—exerting pulling force on the original hair and covering the scalp tightly—it can easily lead to hair loss caused by external force.
Wearing a wig can put pressure on the original scalp. Long-term tight binding of the hair may cause the naturally growing hair to develop abnormal conditions.
Wigs are flammable. Most wig fibers sold on the market currently are low-temperature fibers, which are combustible. Therefore, wigs need to be protected from fire, while protein-fiber wigs are flame-retardant.
If the wig is worn too tightly, it can easily cause scalp discomfort and even scalp swelling caused by external pressure.
Unclean or unhygienic wigs, or those made of low-quality materials, can easily trigger scalp allergies. Dirty wigs are a common cause of allergies; if a wig is worn continuously for several days, it needs to be cleaned to remove dust.
Dyed wigs pose significant hazards to the human body. According to national standards, the formaldehyde content in wigs must be less than 75 grams per kilogram. Additionally, raw materials must not contain decomposable aromatic amines, as these substances may be carcinogenic.
Furthermore, wigs can have a certain impact on the scalp. People suffering from skin conditions such as dermatitis or eczema may experience worsening symptoms if they wear wigs. Therefore, wearers should choose high-quality wigs—preferably those with breathable bases—and avoid wearing them for extended periods. It is essential to clean wigs regularly or use a comb to remove dust stuck to them, keeping the wigs clean and dry. This not only ensures health but also extends the service life of the wigs.
