What are you wearing under your wig to protect your hair?
I've been using a stocking cap but it's rather uncomfortable.

I use a netted wig cap or a men's durag (double tied) both over fully moisturized hair.
Great Thread By The Way!

Well I'm sorry
I thought every season was wig season since they're worn year 'round... excuse me.

I find the netted ones are a lot more breathable and easier on the edges. Haven't had any problems with them snagging, pulling etc...
The "stocking cap" one(s) are more 'drying' IMO. The one I had, I felt like it was sucking out all the moisture from my hair by the end of the day, when I removed it after work.
I haven't tried a Bonnet or Silk Scarf. The Bonnet may not be a bad idea (for winter). A scarf seems a little bulky. @ilong

You prefaced your comment with "you know you don't belong" I was just confirming. LolWell I'm sorry

No need to be sorry. It's all light hearted. Enjoy your Saturday!

I'm going to try it this week. The stockings are tight and drying. I also need to braid my hair down better as it gets rather big after a few days.

I also like them because if I need to run my finger down in through there and scratch, I can.
The stocking cap (and others) won't allow for that.

@CodeRed - when I read @hair4romheaven - I immediately knew she was "jus' funning <my word> with you" - so much so I scrolled to see your Avatar because I thought it was because your hair was very long you wouldn't need or wear a wig, which it may be. And yep not only every season is wig season for me EVERY DAY is wig day for me. So I don't believe any shade <ha-ha, see what you all having me doing, using this word 
> was intended.
@IDareT'sHair - are you speaking of netted hair bonnets? I haven't tried those either. Believe or not the satin hair bonnets feel VERY good under my "Cover Girls"

Agreed. It's to hot here during the spring and summer. Let me know when you find a silk scarf thats short enough to not create bulk under your wig. I have to rebraid to often now that my hair is mbl. I cut it from wl as it was too much to deal with. I'm also looking for braid patterns. The cornrows are no longer working.

I wear stocking wig caps. If the cap is too tight I cut a slit on the edge

@yaya24 - I went to the fabric store and purchase some pieces of silk fabric, stitched the borders down (to prevent fraying and raveling) and voila' - silk scarves.
I don't cut any of the fabric width, so the finished scarves are long.
I do the same thing, but I don't stitch the torn edges so they probably don't end up lasting as long as yours (still a long time). I just wear them until they can be worn no more.

I use Keracare Oil Moisturizer with jojoba oil and Donna Marie Super Buttercreme sealed with evoo or any other natural oil I might have handy. I also have some Shea Aloe Butter by FNWL that I use sometimes. As long as it's rich and thick to stay moist under the cap all day - I'll use it.

I use something heavy to moisturize before bed. In the morning I mist my cornrows with a conditioner/water/SAA /rosemary oil mix.
Because I only wear a thin stocking cap, I don't want my wig getting all stringy bc of the product on my real hair.
I haven't had any issues yet with this.

Usually I use Chi Keratin Mist and Garnier Sleek and shine cream. Sometimes I use conditioner. As long as I put something between the wig cap and my hair I don't have any issues.
