Question:
Can daily wrapping cause thinning at the crown?
Answer:
Wrapping the hair is a great style technique to prepare your hair before bedtime. Relaxed or flat ironed hair can get a lot of benefits from this routine. Wrapping your tresses leave your strands silky, full of volume, tangle-free and is a protective alternative for no heat styling and curling. However, results from wrapping the hair can cause thinning hair and soreness to the scalp around the temple, nape and crown area.
Tips:
- wrap loosely (not too tight)
- alternate your wrapping direction
- pull edges back instead of forward so there’s no stress on the hairline
- use moisturizing products
- use a wide tooth comb or boar bristle brush along with your hands
- for longer hair, put your hair in a loose ponytail and use rollers on your ends
