Why doesn’t the hair in your system stay soft forever?

No matter if you wear a hair system or not, hair softness is all about the sebum... or lack thereof anyway.

Each and every one of your natural, growing hairs is constantly being coated with a very fine layer of sebum. This is why your hair feels oily after several days of not washing (not that you’d go that long without washing your hair... right?)

What’s sebum? Glad you asked. Sebum is a natural semi-fluid secreted by the sebaceous gland. Your sebaceous glands are most commonly found attached to individual hair follicles where they can deposit sebum and bring it to the skin surface along the hair shaft.

This sebum coating helps to keep your natural growing hair hydrated, strong and soft. Unfortunately, the hair on your hair system doesn’t enjoy such a luxury.
