How Long Will a Human Hair Wig Last?

Long Human Hair Wigs

Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been wearing wigs for quite a while, it’s only natural to wonder how long will your human hair wig last.

After all, no one wants to invest in a wig that wouldn’t last and result in a loss. So, in this article, we answer one of the questions people often ask about human hair wigs. “How long does it last?”

Human hair wigs tend to last longer because they are made from real human hair.

How Long Does a Human Hair Wig Last?

There is more than one answer to this question and different wig users may answer differently, based on their personal experience with their wigs. However, on average, the longevity of a human hair wig lies somewhere between 1 to 3 years. It may even last for longer than that. But how long your human hair wig actually lasts depends on several factors.

Real hair wigs are the best type of wigs to choose if you want a long lasting wig.

What Determines How Long Your Human Hair Wig Will Last?

Broadly, three factors will determine how long you can enjoy your human hair wig before needing to replace it. These two factors are how well you take care of them, how often you use them, and how long you intend to keep them. Let’s take a closer look at these factors.

  1. How long you want to keep the wig:

This is pretty straightforward. You may purchase your wig with the intention of having it for a short while, say, 3 to 6 months. At the end of that intended period, there’s nothing wrong if you decide to replace the wig.

  1. How often you wear the wig:

Frequency of use is a factor that influences how long your human hair wig will last. If you wear your wig every day, it would wear out quicker than a wig that is worn less frequently. In many cases, daily-worn wigs barely last longer than a year. Whereas, the lifespan of wigs that are used less often (2 to 3 times a month, for example) can stretch for more than three years.

  1. How you treat and care for the wig:

Neglecting your wig can take months off its lifespan. On the other hand, timely treatment and proper care will ensure that the wig lasts as long as possible. This means preventing the hairs from wearing thin and the cap construction from falling apart.

What Should You Do For Your Human Hair Wig to Last Longer?

To extend the longevity of your human hair wig, try the following tips:

  • Reduce frequency of use

Since wearing your wig as often as every day would decrease its lifespan, reduce how often you wear it. A tip is to have another wig you can switch it up with or let go of the wig on some days and wear out your hair. But it’s okay if your circumstances do not allow you the option of switching. Only, you should expect it to wear out sooner.

  • Wash and condition regularly

Human hair wigs will usually come with usage and cleaning directions. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for how and how often to care for the wig. Remember that it is made from human hair, so it needs good washing and conditioning sessions to ensure that it retains its moisture, bounce, and shine.

  • Use the right products

Using the right hair products and tools for your wig will prevent drying out, thinning, and other forms of damage. This way, you get the best use of your wig for a longer period.

  • Minimize processing treatments

Hair processing such as colouring and other chemical treatments can offer you a variety of styles with your wig. However, processing your human hair wig often makes it likely to thin and shed quicker.

  • Store properly

To preserve your wig cap construction, proper storage is vital. Use satin or silk wig bags, or keep them in the original packaging. Wig stands and hangers are great options to consider but to keep your wigs dust free and prevent drying out, you might want to cover it over with a bag.

Wrapping Up

To answer simply, there is no fixed number of years for which human hair wigs last. Your wig can last for as long as 3 or more years if you take proper care of it. Whereas, if you don’t, it might not last for up to a year before you’d have to replace it.

And if the wig is of low quality, then its lifetime would be even shorter. That’s why we’d always recommend getting top-quality wigs that are durable and easy to care for. Check out some of them here.
