" When you look good....you feel great!!! "
Q.. While wearing wig caps, I have noticed my edges are thinning. What’s the best type of wig cap to buy?
A.. Caps that are smooth and silky have a tendency to slip and slide, which would be a problem under your wig. The other option: use a silky type do-rag, like the men wear to hold the weaves in place. You can also tie it down to keep it in place, also eliminating the use of any elastic edge bands. Opt for a wig cap that does not have a lot of excess material to reduce the amount of bulk under your wig.

Q.. My hair is breaking badly. My strands are thin, short and I also have permanent color in my hair. What can I do?
A.. Your breakage issues may be related to the permanent color—especially if you also have a relaxer. For many women, it is difficult to balance the two chemical processes (color and relaxer) and maintain healthy hair. You may need to go chemical free for a while to allow your hair to recover and to re-grow. You should also schedule an appointment for a trim and a deep conditioning treatment.
