How Long Do Natural Human Hair Wigs Last?

Must read

One of the biggest appeals of getting a wig is its durability. It’s no wonder that human hair wigs carry a lot of hype in this regard. Despite this, many people still don’t know how long their wigs can last. Eventually, they use their wigs shorter than they could have.

This article discusses the lifespan of natural human hair wigs and the types of wigs you can pick from. It also gives tips on how to take care of your wigs, which will help extend their lifespan.

How Long Do Natural Human Hair Wigs Last?

Generally, human hair wigs can last for more than a year when worn daily and a little over three years when worn occasionally. However, this still depends on how well you take care of your wigs. When it comes to human hair wigs, it’s best to be delicate and garner knowledge on how to maintain them. Without this, your wig might not last a year, even when you wear it occasionally.

Another factor determining how long your natural human hair wigs last is the quality of the wig. The quality of the wig is further defined by the vendor you buy from and the wig’s grade. Some human hair wigs are more quality and even more expensive than others. They are also likely to last longer. Furthermore, if the wig your vendor sells you isn’t of good quality, your wig might not last long.

Types of Natural Human Hair Wigs

Unlike the wigs made years ago, there are now many natural human hair wigs that make you look natural and have a flattering hairline. These wigs include:

1.    U-part Wigs

These are also known as three-quarter wigs sewn using a u-shaped wig cap. Hence, the name. This wig cap used for this wig is made of sheer mesh and has clips underneath. U-part wigs are of different types. They include center, middle, or side u-part wigs.

2.    Monofilament Wigs

These wigs have to do with the wig cap construction. In this case, a fine layer of transparent mesh is inserted at the top, parting, or crown area. Each strand of hair is individually tied to this mesh to give it the most natural hair look. Some wigs have double monofilament. This is when the second layer of fine transparent mesh is placed over the original monofilament.

3.    Lace Front Wigs

This is a natural human hair wig with a lace piece placed at the entire base of your edges. The hair is sewn into the lace hold by hand, making it look even more natural. This wig also allows for more flexibility than part wigs because you can part your hair in any direction. You also have more styling options, as you can pack the entire front part of your hair.

4.    Full Lace Wigs

This is a natural human hair wig type in which the entire base of the wig is covered with the same lace material. This allows you to wear the entire wig on your head, not just the front. It also looks more natural than lace front wigs because it will enable you to pack the entire wig. Like lace front wigs, full lace wigs also require glue for installation.

5.    Half Wig

Just as the name implies, this is an incomplete wig that only covers a part of your hair. This wig aims to add more volume to your hair, making it look lustrous and full.

How To Take Care of Natural Human Hair Wigs

· Detangle

Gently detangle your wig with your fingers or a wide tooth comb. This will protect your wig from shedding.

· Wash

Do not soak your wig while washing. Instead, hold it over running cool water and allow the water to run from the roots to the ends. Apply a shampoo suitable for wigs and gently rub it on the wig. Rinse under running water until it runs clear.

· Condition

Place a moderate amount of conditioner in your hand and apply it to your wig in a downward motion. Leave it for two to five minutes, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse under running water until it runs clear. Leave the wig to air dry. If you’re in a rush, you can use a blow dryer but set it to low heat.

· Store

The best way to preserve the hair care work you’ve done on your wig is to store them properly. You can keep your wigs on a Styrofoam head, plastic bag, or folding stand.

Conclusion

Natural human hair wigs are, indeed, the best wig investments you can make because they last long. However, their lifespan greatly depends on their quality and how well you care for them. You can expect to enjoy your wig for at least three years with proper care. But without it, that wig might not be so much of an investment anymore.
