Breakage At The Nape

[GraceJones]

I've noticed that I'm beginning to have breakage at my nape area.

I usually wear cornrows parted at the side going back and put my wig on top.

I take the wig off and sleep with a satin scarf at night. I knot my scarf at the back so I'm wondering if it is the friction if the knot rubbing? Or maybe the friction of the wig? I haven't noticed breakage anywhere else.

I do a hot oil treatment, shampoo, and DC every two weeks. Then I braid back up.

 

[discodumpling]

Great self diagnosis! Clearly something you are doing is irritating the nape of your neck whether its the wig or you scarf you have narrowed it down. Changing the positioning of your scarf will help.

 

[LostInAdream]

The tying at the back and the wig are possibly causing the break age.
Are you wearing a wig cap?
If so, what is it made of?
Do you put any products in your hair before or after braiding?
Do you moisturize in between washes?

 

[NappyNelle]

You can also try changing the braid pattern to something that isolates the nape so you can pamper it more, like this:

 

[Bunnyhaslonghair]

I concur with @NappyNelle . A while back some ladies were successfully able to grow out their nape by braiding it in a single braid going across and keeping it braided.

 

[GraceJones]

Do we know any alternatives to using a scarf overnight? I don't really like bonnets. Maybe a silk pillowcase?

 

[GGsKin]

If your scarf is long enough, maybe you could just cross over at the back and tie the ends at the front of your head.

Oh ok so instead of tying the knot. I'll try that,.

I use this every day to moisturize and seal with jojoba oil

Do you moisturize in between washes?

 

[gorgeoushair]

Does your wig has combs in them and are u using it? That could be the culprit.

 

[LostInAdream]

@GraceJones I agree with @NappyNelle braid the nape separately. I would also try using a satin dome cap underneath your wig to prevent rubbing at the nape and to hold in moisture.

 

[GraceJones]

I have combs but they're not at the nape. They're at the sides and the temple

 

[Bunnyhaslonghair]

Ditch the satin scarf for a satin bonnet. My scarf never stays on with cornrows but the bonnet works perfectly.

I'm trying to find a satin wig cap but can't find one. My wig has a closure and I'm afraid for the cap to show through the closure part

I know Ive tried hence the dome cap lol. I have a silk base on my wig because of this. Maybe find a flesh colored satin scarf and sew or glue it along the perimeter.

Its a bit ad-hoc but you could try taping a bit of sticky bandage (maybe with makeup for a scalp match) to the bit of wig cap where the closure is.

 

[GraceJones]

I found a velvet wig band that might help with friction at the nape and edges. I just bought it. I'll try it and report back.

 

[MsNaturalcurl82]

Instead of cornrowing your nape across, try putting one flat twist across at the nape since it's much looser than a corn row, and it will give your scalp a break from all that tension while still keeping the hair protected. Apply a moisturizing cream to the nape flat twist every few days at night before you go to bed. This helped me a lot. Tie your scarf at the front of your head instead of the back or wear a silk bonnet. If you don't want to wear the bonnet you can just use a satin pillow case.
