Allergic reactions to adhesive or wig

One of the most common reasons why you may be experiencing itchiness is because your skin is simply allergic to your hairpiece or the adhesive that is used. This can be because of the type of hair as sometimes, certain properties of synthetic hair are known to cause allergies for some wearers. If you find that you’re itching in the center of your head and you’ve only used tape or glue at the perimeter, it’s possible that the base material is what’s causing you problems. Therefore, if you’re using a lace base, it may be worth it to see how you feel with a poly base and vice-versa.

If it’s the tape or glue that’s potentially bothering you, you can switch to a different brand or type and see how it affects you. To be even more sure, it is recommended to a patch test first.

In the end, these are all just suggestions. If you find that your itchiness is extreme, the most important thing to do is consult with your doctor first.
