HOW LONG WILL A SYNTHETIC WIG LAST?Updated 2 years ago

Most manufacturers suggest that a heat-friendly synthetic wig will last 3-4 months with regular wear and proper care, and a traditional synthetic wig will last 3-6 months with regular wear and proper care. 

Many variables contribute to the amount of time a synthetic or high-heat synthetic wig or topper will last for an individual client. 

Your daily activities will play a role in the longevity of your wig. If you are wearing your piece daily and working in an office environment, your experience will likely be different than a client who is working at a construction site, or someone who is a professional dancer or gymnast. If you are in an environment where your scalp is sweating more often, you will likely be washing your wig more often to keep it clean, which can contribute to the breakdown of the synthetic fibers. In addition, the additional movement (from outdoor elements such as wind or exercise) can cause friction that can contribute to the breakdown of the synthetic (or high-heat synthetic) fibers. 

The length of your piece also plays a role in the longevity of your wig or topper. A shorter style above the shoulder will likely last longer than a longer style because it is shorter and not subject to any rubbing on the shoulders or back that can contribute to the breakdown of the synthetic or high-heat synthetic fibers.

Properly caring for and storing your synthetic or high-heat synthetic wig or topper will also prolong the life of your piece.
