The answer is NO. It helps protect your natural hair while wearing since that avoids damage to the hair caused by styling, exposure to the elements, and everyday handling.
How To Promote Hair Growth Under A Wig?
1. Top advice - choose a glueless wig if possible.
It can help you avoid problems such as scalp allergies caused by glue. You can also take it off whenever you want to let your natural hair relax and breathe.
2. Wash your natural hair often.
Make sure that your natural hair under the wig stays clean. Wearing a wig usually causes your scalp to sweat more frequently. Washing your hair often will ensure that the hair underneath the wig does not suffer from the extra heat.

Wearing a wig cap is a great way to add a protective layer between your wig and your natural hair. Also, wearing a hair cap can make the wig look more natural.
Conclusion
Wearing wigs are good for hair growth. Cleaning and protective measures are the keys to promoting healthy natural hair growth and ensuring no damage is done to your hair as it naturally occurs.
