Whether you’re being treated to a late Mother’s Day gift or have decided to indulge yourself to embrace that feeling of springtime renewal, enjoying a day at the spa unlocks many perks for the mind, body and soul. Regular spa therapy has even been linked to higher confidence levels as Bicester Performance Centre explains:
“A trip to the spa is more than just a facial or a body massage, it helps to boost our confidence levels and works wonders for our appearance. Spa trips allow you to feel your very best leaving you with smooth skin and a healthy glow. Having a regular facial can improve your complexion, skin health and your overall self-esteem, what’s not to love about a spa day?”
If you wear a wig, visiting a spa may be an experience you dread rather than look forward to! Wearing a wig at the swimming pool, when exercising or while enjoying a spa treatment can after all be challenging.
Thanks to the following advice, you can wear your wig with confidence at the spa and relish every moment of relaxation.
Investing in or digging out a cheap wig to wear instead of donning your very best wig or hairpiece is a must when attending a spa day. This is especially true if you plan to swim in your wig. The effects of chlorine however shouldn’t be underestimated. Chlorine is particularly effective at stripping moisture from your wig leaving it dry, brittle and frizzy, and shortening its lifespan dramatically.
By donning a cheap wig that you don’t mind getting wet or damaged, you can enjoy your spa day with confidence without worrying about the consequences. Be sure to wash your wig in a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner after swimming to minimise damage, soften hair, and restore moisture.
The security of your wig will no doubt be weighing on your mind in the weeks and days before your spa trip. With the right glue or tape, you can have the confidence that your wig will stay exactly where it needs to be, whether you intend to go for a dip, take an exercise class or indulge in a massage.
Sourcing the right adhesive for your needs does take time. Your hairstyle, wig type, wig base, and wig-wearing habits will all influence which adhesive will bond your wig or hair system to your scalp correctly. You’ll also need to determine whether wig tape or a liquid adhesive is the best option for you.
Whichever adhesive you go for, always perform a patch test, waiting at least 24 hours to see if any redness or irritation occurs.
You don’t have to wear a wig to your spa day to feel comfortable and confident. While a sun hat offers excellent coverage and a super stylish finish for a day at the beach, wearing a head wrap or turban to the spa is a fitting indoor alternative.
Our bamboo headwear provides the perfect, wig-free coverage for any occasion. As well as being kind to the skin; naturally antibacterial, antifungal and antistatic; and breathable and moisture-wicking, bamboo is particularly low maintenance meaning you can really make the most of those wig-free days. Did we mention it’s great for the planet too?
You’re beautiful with or without your wig, so embrace the privacy of the spa setting by going completely wig and headwear free on your spa day. You could even treat yourself to a scalp massage, a spa treatment that is well known for its scalp health-promoting, follicle-stimulating, and hair-thickening benefits.
