It will vary depending on how you treat your wig, how often you wear it and the kind of material it is made of. With proper care and maintenance your wig can last anywhere from 3 months to a few years. A typical synthetic wig will last between 3 to 6 months if worn daily and washed on a regular basis. Having 2 of the same wig and rotating between them is a good way to prolong the life of your wigs. Washing and styling your wig with the proper products will also help it last longer and keep it looking like new.

First time putting on a wig? We can help you put one on properly. You'll be a pro in no time. Follow these simple steps on applying your wig. 1) Wigs should be worn on the natural hairline (for most people it is four finger-widths above the eyebrow). 2) Remove wig from the plastic bag or box. Gently remove the protective hair net from your wig. Give your wig a few good shakes to separate the fibers and give some body to the hair. Some wigs need to be shaken to release the preset styling. 3) Brush your hair off your face at the top and sides. If your hair is too long, you may want use bobby pins to help keep it off your face, back at the sides, and up at the nape. Some women use a wig liner or wig cap to keep their existing hair in place. 4) Hold your wig at the sides with the woven label in back. Place it at your natural hairline and slide it on from front to back. Adjust the wig as needed so the front edge is just over your natural hairline. Use the ear tabs to center your wig from left to right. Adjust the Velcro tabs in the back if necessary for a more secure fit. 5) Tuck in any stray hairs at the front, sides and nape. Now you're ready for styling!

Synthetic: Synthetic fibers are more easily cared for and also lower priced. The synthetic fibers can hold a "pre-styled" texture: curly, wavy, or straight. Higher quality synthetic hair wigs are practically impossible to differentiate from human hair. Avoid styling synthetic wigs with heat or chemicals not designed specifically for those fibers. Heat-Friendly: Want the styling flexibility of human hair combined with the affordability of synthetic hair? Heat-friendly synthetic fibers are the answer! This is an amazing breakthrough in hair technology, where you can style the synthetic fiber with your favorite heat tool (up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit). This is great for the woman on the go, who still wants to customize it to fit her style. Human Hair: If you want the ultimate in realism, then human hair is just for you. The cost of human hair products can vary from the quality of the fiber. Regular (non-Remy) human hair wigs have cuticles that have been removed. The more luxurious, Remy human hair wigs have all the "Virgin" hair cuticles facing one direction, providing the ultimate in softness and less tangling. The best thing about human hair? You can style it with heat or have your stylist color it!

To keep you wig fresh in between washes, we recommend wearing a clean wig cap each day. This will help prevent build-up in your wig. If you live in a hot area or are prone to sweating, we recommend wearing trying out the patented No Sweat Liner by Headline It. The unique combination of micro-fiber materials are engineered specifically for your needs to stay dry and comfortable. The moisture transport system quickly draws perspiration away from the skin, wicking it into the transport layer. These liners will trap any odors making your time between washes much longer.

The best way to store a wig is on a wig stand. Storing a wig on a wig stand prevents the wig from becoming tangled, misshapen or dirty between uses. The wig stand will also help maintain the factory produced style and shape of your wig. Wigs should be stored in a cool dry place free of dust, mildew and high temperatures.

The first step to washing a wig is to make sure it is detangled. Use a wide tooth comb to get rid of any knots your wig may have. Next you want to pour a cap full of wig shampoo into a large bowl filled with water. Gently swirl your wig in the solution and let it sit in the bowl for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes have passed, rinse your wig until the water runs clear. Wrap your wig in a towel and gently pat dry until all excess water is gone. Finish with a leave-in conditioner, focusing most of the product towards the ends as this is where the hair gets the most tangles. Let it air dry on a wig stand.

Your synthetic wig can be styled by using a wig brush, a wig comb, or your fingertips. Avoid using a brush designed for human hair. These brushes can create excessive tension, over-stretching the hair with abrasive strokes that may damage the hair. The wigs we carry are “shake & wear” and can be styled by simply using a wide tooth comb or your fingertips. The best styling tool is the most inexpensive; a spray bottle of clean, cool water. Lightly spritz your wig with water to remove static electricity and return your wig to its original look. To achieve style variations, liquid wig mousse is an essential styling tool. For curly or wavy styles, just mousse, hand scrunch, and pick the style into curls. On straight styles, to minimize tangling use a wide tooth comb and brush starting from the ends and moving towards the root. You can add some hair spray to finish off your look.

To style heat friendly or Tru2life fibers, you must make sure that your heat tool is set to the correct temperature. The maximum temperature they should be at is 280 degrees Fahrenheit. If your heat tool does not have a temperature gauge, we recommend putting your settings on medium to low. To curl your hair, take 1" sections and curl around the barrel. Then slowly slide the fiber off the curling iron and pin the curl together. Once the fiber is cool to the touch remove the pin. To straighten, just simply slide the flat iron, slowly down 1" sections starting from the root to the tip.

You can mini-style your wig every time you wear it, with your fingers and a wig pick, very gently. If knots have accumulated at the ends of the wig, pick apart the knots by starting near the end of the hair and working your way back to the top. You can even use a little spray-on leave-on wig conditioner to help detangle the hair. You can use a lukewarm curling iron, dryer, or rollers of the proper size to re-set your wig’s curls. If you prefer a straighter style, just take 1" sections and run your flat iron over them. Why did my human hair wig lose its style after I washed it? The factory style in human hair wigs are made by setting and not by perm. Therefore, the style will always wash out of human hair wigs.

A lace front wig is a wig with sheer mesh at the hairline where all the hair have been individually hand-tied. The mesh will often have a neutral skin color that will disappear once applied to your hairline. The lace is undetectable and will allow you to have an extremely natural and exposed hairline. Most lace fronts will extend from temple to temple. People won't be able to tell that you're wearing a wig! What's more, you will be able to style your hair off of your face without worrying about exposing your wig cap. How do you apply a lace front? First, trim the lace as close to the hairline as possible using pinking shears. Once you have trimmed off the excess lace, prepare your own hair by making sure it is as flat as possible. Clean your hairline area of any excess oils to ensure that the adhesive will stick. Apply tape or adhesive to the perimeter of your hairline. After the adhesive feels tacky, the wig is ready to be placed onto your head. Make sure the lace is pressed down securely to your forehead. Now you're ready to go! Do all lace front wigs require adhesive? Not all lace front wigs will need tape or glue. There are some newer styles where the lace extends from temple to temple so they will lay flat against your forehead without the need for any sort of adhesive. You can still use adhesive if you want a very secure fit but it is not necessary. Do all lace front wigs need to be cut or modified? Not at all. Newer styles are on the market that have the lace already pre-cut so it's ready to wear right out of the box without any need for modifications.
