A Crown of Glory

At EMK Hair, we believe that your hair is your crown, your natural hair is a God-given symbol of honour, beauty, and identity. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about walking confidently in who you are. That’s why protecting and nurturing your crown, even under wigs, is a sacred part of self-care.

Wig Wearing as a Protective Style

One of the best things about wigs is their ability to serve as a protective style. They shield your natural hair from:

• Heat styling damage

• Environmental stressors(like harsh weather and pollution)

• Over-manipulation(from daily brushing, combing, and styling)

• Breakage caused by tight hairstyles or extensions

When worn correctly and with care, wigs can help retain length, support healthy edges, and encourage growth by giving your hair the chance to rest and rejuvenate.

But Here’s the Key: Don’t Neglect What’s Underneath

While it’s easy to throw on a wig and go, caring for your natural hair underneath is non-negotiable —it still needs water, nutrients, and attention.

Here’s how to keep your crown healthy under wigs:

✅ Moisturise Regularly

Hydration is everything. Before applying your wig, ensure your natural hair is moisturised. Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner or natural oils like jojoba, castor, or argan oil to keep your scalp and strands nourished.

✅ Keep It Clean

Wearing a wig doesn’t mean you can skip wash day. Cleanse your natural hair and scalp regularly to remove product buildup and sweat. A clean scalp promotes healthy growth.

✅ Protective Braiding 

Cornrows or flat twists under your wig should never be too tight. Overly tight styles can lead to traction alopecia and damage your edges—your crown deserves better!

✅ Wear a Wig Cap

A breathable wig cap creates a barrier between your wig and your scalp, helping to reduce friction and prevent your natural hair from drying out.

✅ Nighttime Care

Even under wigs, silk or satin bonnets and pillowcases make a difference. They reduce moisture loss and friction while you sleep.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re rocking curls, sleek straight looks, or a signature lace frontal, remember:

Your hair—natural or styled—is your crown.

And like any crown, it deserves to be worn with pride, protected with intention, and celebrated daily.
