What is the Lifespan of Human Hair Wigs?
February 07, 2023
Human hair wigs are more durable than synthetic wigs. They also provide a natural look. Human hair wigs can last for a long time with proper care and maintenance. However, the exact lifespan of a human hair wig will depend on a number of factors. And where you purchase the wig will also affect its lifespan.
Factors That Will Affect the Lifespan of Human Hair Wigs
Quality of the Wig
The higher the quality the longer it will last. High-quality human hair wigs are made from 100% real human hair, which should be soft, silky, and lustrous. Synthetic wigs may feel smoother and more plastic-like in comparison.
Furthermore, look for wigs that are well-constructed, with a sturdy cap that is secure and comfortable to wear. The hair should be sewn onto the cap in a way that allows for natural movement and styling.
Then, there’s the color. High-quality human hair wigs should have a natural-looking color that is consistent throughout the wig. If the wig has been dyed, the color should be even and should not fade or wash out easily.
Higher-quality wigs tend to be more expensive. However, it's important to remember that price is not always an indicator of quality, and it's a good idea to consider other factors as well.
You should also read customer reviews to get a sense of the overall quality of the wig. Look for reviews that mention the wig’s comfort, appearance, and durability.
Care and Maintenance
No matter how expensive the wig is, if you don’t know how to take care of it, then it will not last that long. How well you care for your wig can significantly affect its lifespan. Proper care includes washing and conditioning the wig regularly, using wig-specific products, and storing the wig properly when it is not being worn.
Frequency of Wear
If you wear it every day, its lifespan goes down. The more often you wear your wig, the more quickly it may begin to show signs of wear and tear. Then, washing reduces its lifespan. That’s why it’s better to wash it once a month or twice a month. It still depends on how often you wear it. For that reason, it’s ideal that you own more than two wigs so that you don’t have to wash them often.
Natural Hair Growth
This, too, affects the lifespan of your wig. If you are wearing the wig to cover your own hair, your natural hair will continue to grow, which may eventually cause the wig to become loose or uncomfortable.
On average, a human hair wig can last for several years as long as you follow the care instructions. But you must not expect your wig to last a lifetime. You should expect to replace it eventually but not after a few wears. If you purchase your wig from a reputable source, you can expect it to last for years. Then again, you must follow the care instructions.
