1. Don't wear high necked clothing

High-neck tops can rub against the hair and sometimes against the seams at the base of the wig. This abrasion can lead to frizz, breakage and tangles. High-necked tops can also cause wigs to slide around your head.

2. Don't skip wash day

It may be tempting to skip out on wash day, but be sure to shampoo and condition your hair as you would normally to remove dirt, and bacteria off the hair and scalp.

3. Don't wear a wig when it is too warm

Wearing a wig can be compared to wearing a winter hat. In warm temperatures there is a risk of overheating. You will also sweat a lot. The sweat not only soaks through the wig, but also the cap underneath, which can stretch the wig. This is also very itchy. Plus the fact that putting the wig's hair in a ponytail is really unwise because it tears the hair and permanently bends the hair... Protect yourself in warm weather. Drink plenty of fluids. Keep cool and opt for a headband, scarf or hat instead.

4. Don't wear hats on top of wigs

Yes, they may look cute. They may protect the sensitive areas of your skin that are still exposed. But hats can cause some major damage to the synthetic hairs of a wig. The friction between the hat and your head can lead to fraying, breakage, frizz and more. Add sweat and heat to the mix and you have a big mess.

5. Don't attempt roller coasters or other fast rides while wearing a wig

It's no secret that wigs and wind don't mix. But roller coasters and other fast rides must also be avoided. Sharp turns, fast speeds, and upside down experiences just don't work unless you're able to hold the wig on your head the entire time.A wig can fly off in less than a second.

If you've decided to wear one, be sure you know the don'ts of wearing a wig.Not only will these tips save you from embarrassing moments, but they will also preserve the life of your wig for much longer than you would expect.
