You’ve just bought yourself a human hair wig and been told that it would stay in shape for a while. Then one fine day, you are surprised to see some hair strands shedding on your comb and it is getting harder and harder to keep the hair smooth and free from being tangled. Don’t be scared, these things happen sometimes and there are absolutely ways to avoid them. So stop asking around “why does my human hair wig shed?” or “how to comb the hair if it gets tangled up?”, read this article and you’ll find out a way to have a no-shedding, tangle-free human hair for sure! 

I, Is shedding or tangling normal?

Speaking of real human hair, it is totally normal. Shedding and tangling happen and you may have experienced it before. During daily life activities, your hair may be affected by several factors: The heat, the humidity, the dust, the smoke and pollutants from the air. Besides, as a result of improper hair care routine, the hair may also break, become dry and therefore easier to shed or tangle. 

Your human hair wig or any other kind of hair extensions suffers the same. The environmental factors impact the hair more badly since it is no longer nurtured through your scalp. If the hair is not cared for properly, breakage and damage will appear. However, if your wig or hair extension is terribly shedding and it is getting impossible to detangle some of the frizzled parts, you have to pay more attention because it is not normal at all. 

II, What causes human hair shedding or tangling

Causes

First things first, what makes the hair become so hard to tame? Here are some of the causes that may result in bad condition of your human hair wig and hair extension: 

1.Poor quality

Good quality means less shedding and tangling. If your human hair gets tangled and frizzled easily after a short period of time, it might be because of the quality. You can not buy a cheap hair extension or a synthetic hair wig and assume it could do as much as a high quality one does. Cheap hair may have cuticles misaligned, that’s why they are easier to tangle. They could also be processed, overheated or chemical treated in a way that makes each hair strand so fragile and easy to break. 

Anka Hair provides only premium high quality human hair extensions which are 100% unprocessed, natural and super smooth, no shedding, no tangle with all cuticles aligned that leave your worries at ease. 

2. Environmental factors

As mentioned above, heat, humidity, dust, smoke or other pollutants can be real threats to your hair. Harsh weather conditions, especially the wind or heavy rain can make it worse. Frequent exposure to such factors causes your hair a lot of damage. 

3. Improper hair care products

Since your hair can not be nurtured through the scalp, the only way to keep it healthy is to use proper hair care products. If your wig or hair extension is crying for help, it may be because you are using products containing alcohol or harsh ingredients that may cause the hair to dry out and break off easily. 

4. Combing and brushing

Improper technique of combing or brushing may result badly in the hair. Especially when some parts become frizzled and tangled, if you comb hard trying to pull the brush through, it surely will start to shed. 

5. Heat and chemical exposure

Human hair is fragile, always remember this. Any intervention through heat or chemicals makes hair dry and frizzy. Using blow-dry, hot tools at high levels of heat or overusing chemicals when curling, dye or bleach can affect your hair badly. 

III, How to prevent hair shedding and tangling

No one likes to see hair shedding on their comb and floor. No one wants a wig that becomes more frizzy and harder to handle day after day. If you have to use your hair extension frequently, here’s good news for you: There are ways to prevent it from shedding and getting tangled up. 

1. Never go for low quality. Always choose Anka premium, high quality human hair extensions, 100% unprocessed, no shedding, tangle free and can last up to several years. We use the most modern and advanced technology to select and remove hairs that are at risk of tangles and breakage before producing the final product. This is the professional method drawn from many years of experience only Anka Hair can provide.

2. Take good care of your hair. Remember combing and brushing is the first step of hair maintenance. Comb when your hair is dried, in small sections, starting at the ends and continuing upward until finish. Curly or wavy hair requires more effort since it is easier to get frizzled so you really have to be more careful when brushing it. 
3. Take some time to read your hair care products’ labels. It is never enough paying attention to what you use when washing and conditioning your hair. Try to avoid alcohol or alcohol-based ingredients. Always use shampoo, conditioner and hair spray with moisturizing effect to keep your hair hydrated and soft.
4. Always reach for a professional hairstylist when it comes to styling your hair. They would know how to treat your human hair wig and not damage it no matter if it is cutting, curling or adding color to the hair. If you have to blow dry or use hot styling tools at home, remember to always keep it at low or medium heat. 

IV, Tips to have a no shedding and tangle free human hair

• You may have noticed: The first and foremost thing of having no shedding and tangle free hair is to get a high quality human hair wig or hair extension. With all cuticles aligned, each hair strand is in good condition, you will have a soft, smooth and silky hair wig that everyone desires. Choosing a high quality, reliable provider like Anka Hair will guarantee your wig to be more durable. 

• Aligned cuticles are the key to a no shedding, tangle free hair extension. Luckily, there is an easy way to determine if cuticles are aligned: Put your newly-bought wig or hair extension soaked in water before use. If cuticles do not go in the same direction, the hair will get frizzled and it is hard to detangle underwater. On the contrary, real human hair’s cuticles are unidirectional. Just like women’s virgin hair, it can be detangled easily only by combing or brushing properly. 

• If the hair gets worse, try a specialized comb or brush. There are brushes for wet hair and dried hair detangling. Choosing a good, suitable brush and paying more attention when taking care of the hair can minimize the shedding and tangling effectively. 

• Of course, using and maintaining a human hair wig or hair extension properly can also expand its lifespan. The hair is no longer nourished by the scalp and it needs our best care. Do not hesitate to choose the best products for your hair no matter if it is a brush or hair care cosmetics. Apply hair serum or other hair care products frequently to maintain a healthy and silky hair.
