How long is the durability of a wig?
It is like a silk blouse, with good care it will last for years!
If the necessary attention is paid to the care of the wig, it will certainly last for two years, after which signs of wear will appear. Older wigs, however, will still serve for a long time as a second wig or reserve.
Short-haired wigs can be worn longer than long-haired wigs. Long-haired wigs are clearly subject to greater wear and tear. Just as your own long hairstyle requires more maintenance than a short hairstyle.
If you are dependent on a wig, we recommend using at least two wigs alternately. This way, one wig can be washed and dried while you wear the other. This increases the life span of the wigs massively. In addition, it gives you personal security when you have a second wig to fall back on.
