How long can a wig last?
Many people ask, "How long can a wig last?"
"Is it true that many shops on the market say wigs can last for 3-5 years?"
If used daily and not replaced, the normal lifespan of a braided wig is generally around 2 years. There are also very few friends who continue to wear it after using it for two years. Of course, they can still wear it at this time, but this is considered "forced wear", which means wearing it forcefully. Daily use of braided wigs for more than two years can deplete the nutrients in the hair and make it dry and dry like grass. If worn forcefully in this way, it can last for 3 years, and there are also some that last for more than 3 years, but the wearing experience will not be very good.
Some shops say that a wig can be worn for 3-5 years, which is a theoretical time. A wig that is not used for 5 years is also new. Therefore, for those who occasionally wear it, using it less frequently will naturally lead to longer usage time. But if it is worn continuously for 12 hours a day, 365 days, it will definitely not last for three to five years.
Why do so many stores claim that wigs are worn for three to five years? Mainly because the price of straight braid wigs is too high. Women's straight braid wigs with a length of 40-50cm usually cost around 7000 to 8000 yuan on the outside, while men's short straight braid wigs cost around 5000 to 6000 yuan. This price is almost catching up with the price of high-quality products. Spending so much money on a wig, of course everyone wants to wear it for a longer time. But if a wig is cheap enough, we wouldn't expect it to last for five years. For example, a men's wig costs one or two thousand, a woman's wig costs four to five thousand centimeters, and a shorter wig costs two to three thousand. This makes it affordable for most of us every year.
A wig is priced in thousands, and for men it is priced in six or seven thousand. This artificially high price naturally reminds people of the product, making them feel that it is not worth it for three to five years. The merchant's claim that wigs can last for three to five years is not because wigs can really last for three to five years, but because people want to hear about it. If they want to hear about it, they can tell you. As for whether it can last for three to five years, no one can guarantee it.
