Wigs are an excellent way to express personal style, protect your natural hair, or simply switch up your look. However, just like natural hair, wigs need proper care to maintain their best appearance. One common question many wig wearers ask is:
How often should I revamp my wig?
The frequency of revamping your wig depends on several factors, such as the type of wig, how often you wear it, and your maintenance routine. Let’s explore this further.
Synthetic Wigs
Revamp Frequency: Monthly
Synthetic wigs are made from artificial fibers, which can lose their shine and become tangled more quickly than human hair wigs. The wear and tear tend to be more noticeable around areas that experience friction, such as the nape of the neck.
If your synthetic wig starts to frizz, mat, or lose its luster, it’s time for a revamp. A wig that looks “plastic” or has a stiff texture is also an indicator that it needs attention. Regular brushing might help, but if it doesn’t restore the wig’s look, it’s time to bring it back to life.
Human Hair Wigs
Revamp Frequency: Every 2-6 months
Human hair wigs are durable and more natural-looking, but they’re still susceptible to the effects of heat styling, coloring, and frequent wear. Over time, they can lose moisture, develop split ends, or even shed more than usual.
If your human hair wig has dry, brittle ends or looks flat and lifeless, it’s time to refresh it. A lack of volume and movement, or color that appears dull and faded, are also signs that your wig could use a revival to restore its original shine and vitality.
