Yes, short wigs last longer. However, the longevity largely depends on how frequently the short wigs are worn and styled and how well they are maintained.
Washing your wigs with the appropriate products is essential for short wigs' durability and maintaining the fibers in the healthiest condition.
However, washing your short wig too often will have the opposite effect. Wash your synthetic or WhisperLite® and human hair wigs every 7 wears to preserve longevity.
Limiting exposure to heat-styling tools as well as the outdoor elements will also help increase the lifespan of your short wigs.
Caring for and maintaining short wigs comes down to following some important wig rules. Whether you are brushing, washing, or styling them, always handle your short wigs with care.
Use a shampoo and conditioner that's formulated specifically for wigs. Apply the products from the ends to the roots, and rinse with cool water.
For best results, hang your short wigs and let them air-dry in a cool and well-ventilated area. When not in use, store the wigs on mannequin or styrofoam heads to retain the wig shape.
Synthetic, WhisperLite® and Kanekalon® wigs come pre-styled and have style memory. This makes styling a short synthetic wig unbelievably easy. Just give it a quick shake and use your fingers to zhush it up.
You can style short human hair wigs and our heat-styleable VersaFiber® wigs like your own hair. Remember to apply a layer of heat-protectant spray before creating the most stunning waves or curls on them!
