My current wig regimen
Hi everyone! How have you been?
First of all, I want to apologize to everyone that has gotten in contact with me through the form on my contact page. When I added it to the page, I forgot to include any email address for the messages to be directed to. Basically, they’ve just been sitting there and I just realized this yesterday. I have changed this now though. Please do forgive me.
I have been following a wig regimen for the last 5 or 6 weeks. My hair is currently in a corn-row. To maintain it underneath the wigs, I try to keep it moisturized every few days. The problem is that when you have your hair in a protective style, it is quite easy to neglect it.
- Hair Moisturizer: Bee Mine juicy moisturizing daily spritz. I simply spray this on my hair once or twice a week.
- Sealing oil: Schwarzkopf Gliss BRUME MIRACLE HUILE LÉGÈRE. I spray this on after my hair moisturizer. Using a sealing oil after moisturizing your hair helps to lock in the moisture and prevent it from drying out too soon.
- Scalp moisturizers (and treatment): I alternate between my personal scalp Tea mix & Phyto Phytostim Fortifying Spray. These help to soothe & stimulate my scalp.
- Scalp oil: Jamaican black castor oil & NJoy’s Hair growth oil. I alternate between these two oils. They help to soothe my scalp and prevent it from feeling too dry. They also encourage hair growth and improve thickness.
- Deep condition: I undo the cornrows every 3 to 4 weeks. Before I do, I apply a deep conditioner to the tracks. I leave this on for about 30 minutes and lightly shampoo or co-wash it off. I undo the tracks after which I apply a leave-in conditioner, then hair oil and have it cornrowed again. I intend to keep this up till June.

Hi Doc Fomsky,
I’m hoping 2016 will be all about the wig life for my hair. It’s a wonderful way to hide the ends and edges.
I particularly like how it doesn’t disrupt the hair care regimen as one can still access the hair for product application.
Have a great week!
It really is a wonderful way to hide my ends and edges. I see my edges filling in. My only fear is that sometimes I feel the wig rubs on my edges: I hope it doesn’t have a long-term adverse effect.
I’m currently wigging it too and my regimen is quite similar to yours. Different products though. I hope this works well for you to achieve your hair goals for the year.

I hope you also achieve all your hair goals too!
Hi doc I think this is one of the most effective regimens, looking forward to seeing your progress. My hubby hates wigs, so I’ve been doing crochet braids.. Hoping to have my hair in protective styles for at least 8 months this year.
And me too. Can’t wait to see my progress. I’m happy that my hubs doesn’t mind wigs!
I like your regimen I think you will retain a lot of length from it.

Here is a great planner you can use to keep track of your regimen, you can ask for the file and tweak it to match exactly what you are going. It gives you an idea of what to do, and when to do it.
