7. Wear a wig
That’s right! A wig can definitely protect your hair from having a gross critter flying into it, then you can wear all of the natural products you want. Just do not add any product to your wig or it will defeat the purpose. We only have one exception, loud colored wigs are not recommended. Insects like bees and wasps are attracted to loud colors. Hats can also work as long as it covers all of your hair.
