Is there any evidence that wearing a wig will inhibit or hamper hair regrowth?
Most of our members believe that this is not the case. AA appears to be internally mediated through the immune system- a wig should not alter that mechanism. If anything, some of the participants within our list server have complained of the fact that the double-sided tape used in some types of wigs has caused them a severe irritation. They may wear the wig without the adhesive but on windy days that is virtually impossible (another plus for suction wigs). Hair regrowth can be hampered only if you suture the wig and leave it in place for several years. The resultant scarring traction may cause the loss of any remaining viable hair follicles.
