How long your wig or hairpiece lasts for depends on how often you wear it, how you treat it, the environment in which you live, and the types of maintenance product that you use. Acrylic wigs, in particular, need specially formulated products. Normal hairspray and non-fibre cleansing products should not be used on them. They must not be washed in hot water, heat must not be applied to them, and they must always be conditioned after washing. No wig or hairpiece should ever be handled roughly.
Cheaper wigs and hairpieces tend not to last as long as others. So if you use them daily they may only have short lives. This a is a matter of personal preference. Some clients enjoy the fun of a succession of cheaper wigs. However, other daily wearers want their wigs to last and are willing to pay for them to do so.
The final answer to this question, the nearest that we can get to a bottom line, is not very precise, depending as it does on usage, environment and quality of care, but a wig can last for a few months, or for years if very well looked after and used.
To maintain the style and freshness of your wig or hairpiece, use a plastic or wire wig stand.
When you store it, keep it somewhere clean and free from dust, heat and excessive humidity.
Use a folding (collapsible) wig stand or a polystyrene head to put your wig on, to help it keep its shape and, if required, for styling it. Unless you are travelling, do not use a bag or a box to store it.
