Closure wigs generally last between 8 months and 3 years with proper care. Because closures only cover a small section of your head—typically 4x4, 5x5, or 6x6 inches—they endure far less tension and handling than frontals, making them naturally more durable.
Lifespan Breakdown by Hair Type
Lifespan Breakdown by Hair Type
- Raw / Virgin Human Hair (1.5-3 Years): This top-grade quality hair still has its natural cuticle and can be shampooed, styled daily or colored without losing the soft texture.
- Remy Human Hair (8-12 months): Another excellent mid-value hair option. The cuticle on remy hair is kept and pointed one way so it will still remain smooth. However, some light processing may make it unable to last as long.
- Synthetic Hair (2-5 months): This type of hair will cost significantly less but will typically not take heat damage very well. This hair type can get matted due to friction. This hair type will only last between 2 and 5 months.
- Knot Bleaching: Bleaching the closure knots makes the hairline look realistic, but over-bleaching loosens the tiny knots tied into the mesh, leading to premature shedding.
- Heat Damage: Relying on the flat iron and other heat styling equipment more than 350 degrees Fahrenheit causes hair to lose a bit of moisture, and the strands can turn rough and rough on the outside.
- Washing habits: Shampooing every ten to fourteen wears with the help of Sulfate-free shampoo helps hair to clean up debris.
- Nighttime Routine: Sleeping in your unit creates friction against cotton pillowcases, causing tangling and hair breakage.
