Wig glue can cause inflammation, hair loss, dermatologist warns women
A consultant dermatologist, Folakemi Cole-Adeife, says using wig glue can cause inflammation, hair loss, and scalp irritation and traumatise hair follicles.
Ms Cole-Adeife, who works at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, told journalists on Sunday that many women apply wig glue to their scalps to ensure their wigs or frontal hair stays in place.
“Wig glue can cause inflammation, hair loss, scalp irritation and even traumatise hair follicles,” said Ms Cole-Adeife. “As a Dermatologist, I do not think wig glue is absolutely necessary.”
She said that though there are people with aesthetic preferences, women can wear wigs without glue or use mild ones if they have sensitive skin.
“My advice is to ditch the wig glue. There are nice wigs with good frontals that also look kind of original or like the human hair, and try not to traumatise your innocent follicles because it does not end well,” the dermatologist added.
