My Story: How Headband Wigs Saved Me
When I started my microlocs in April 2021, I loved the decision but didn't always love the process. My natural hair was shorter, and I wasn't sure how to style it for professional settings while maintaining proper loc protection.
I remember one of my first significant work events after loc'ing my hair. I wore my favorite kinky straight headband wig, and no one could tell it wasn't my real hair. I felt polished, confident, and ready.
For the first three months, I relied on headband wigs for work functions, outings, and special occasions. These versatile hair wigs allowed me to look put together while providing essential microloc protection as my natural hair matured.
