🏊🏼 Can you swim with a hair system? 🏊🏼
The answer is it depends. Depending on the type of hair system and the way we choose to adhere it is the deciding factor on whether you can swim with it.
You can swim with most semi-permanent hair systems that adhered with adhesive or strong hold tape. I do not recommend swimming in wigs unless they are specifically made for swimming. The main reason you CAN swim with a hair system is because they are disposable. After a 1 to 4 months most people wearing semi permanent hair systems tend to replace it. Once it's worn out that's it. They usually end up being thrown away.
Wigs and toppers are a different story. These systems are made for longevity and depending on the system they are made premium quality hair. They are much more expensive than a semi permanent hair system so you want them to last as long as possible. For that reason I DO NOT recommend swimming in them.
Here are some of my recommendations in case you do want to swim, but don't want to ruin your wig or topper:
💫Wear a scarf, hat, bandana, or swim cap
💫Use a cheap or old wig or topper that you don't care about.
💫Use a wig specifically made for swimming. Those are normally made of high quality synthetic fiber that are made to withstand the damage.
💫Surface swimming is also a good alternative in case you do want to wear your wig or topper.
At the end of the day, you should enjoy your life. Don't let your hair stop you from creating memories. Live life abundantly. A hair system can always be replaced, but your memories and time are irreplaceable.
Reminder, always consult your hair replacement expert to see what they recommend for you.
Best wishes,
