FAQs
How long will my wig last?
With proper care and maintenance, a human hair wig can last for several years. The average lifespan of a high-quality wig is about 2-3 years. Some factors that can contribute to wear and tear is how frequently the wig is worn, washed, styled with heat, and exposure to the sun/UV rays.
Can I use a curling iron on my wig or hairpiece?
Yes you can use a curling iron as well as other hot tools, such as blow-dryers and flat irons. Just make sure to use a heat protectant product when styling to prevent any heat damage from the tools.
Can I swim in my wig?
No we do not recommend swimming in a wig due to the salt and chlorine in the water; this can cause irreversible matting, tangling, & will strip the hair color.
