How Long Can I Expect My Wigs to Last?
Depending on the wig brand, material, proper care, maintenance you can expect that a wig worn daily can last anywhere between 6-9 months…possibly even longer. How long your wig will last is dependent on the care that you provide. In this article, we will provide tips so that you can keep your hair in good health and stay looking good.
Another factor that determines the length of time that your wig/ hairpiece can last are the materials used to create the wig. This includes the base materials and tips of the fibers. Luckily here at Destiny and Beyond (D&B), we focus on quality, so this is never a question with our products.
A human hair wig or hair extension that is worn daily can generally last from 6-9 months. This is again dependent on the care. We at D&B recommend that avid wig users have multiple wigs. For example, you may have a workout wig, that you only wear to the gym. You may also have a church wig, that you only wear to church. Then you may have a business wig or a party wig. The point is wigs can be your favorite accessory and can last. Treat your wig as if it grows out of your head.
Wig Care
There are shampoos that are great on both the human hair and synthetic wigs. You should however be very careful when using popular shampoos. Many normal shampoos have parabens and sulfates that strip wigs of their natural luster and shine. After multiple uses, your wig will become tangled and hard to comb. We recommend that you always read the label and stray from any shampoos or products that include Parabens or Sulphate. Overall some wigs can last up to a year or more with proper care and maintenance.
