How long do luxury synthetic wigs last?

The lifespan of your luxury synthetic wig will vary between 12 and 18 months, depending on its maintenance and frequency of use. The luxury synthetic hair has a special coating which keeps the hair from tangling so the hair is gorgeous, it’s soft, and it makes you feel like a million bucks. 

The Secret Life of Synthetic Fibers

Luxury synthetic hair is coated with a special finish to prevent tangling, but synthetic fibers have a unique personality: they "bind and twine." When you move, friction creates heat, and that heat makes the fibers want to grab onto each other.

The result? Tangles. The solution? Water. If your wig is feeling puffy, unruly, or defiant, remember: Synthetic hair LOVES water. * The Quick Fix: Mist the hair with plain water to "chill out" the fibers.

• The Deep Refresh: Give it a water bath to reset the style and calm the volume.

The 6-Month Refresh: Smoothing the "Fuzz"

Around the six-month mark, you might notice the ends feeling dry or fuzzy. This is normal wear and tear, not a reason to toss the wig! Since your SPARX® wig is heat-friendly, you can essentially "iron out" the friction damage.

Don't panic - your wig isn't "dead." Because this hair is heat-friendly, it is incredibly resilient. With a little bit of science and some TLC, you can bring that luster back. Here is everything you need to know about maintaining and restoring your piece to keep it looking fresh for its full 12-to-18-month lifespan.

What You’ll Need:

• A spray bottle with water

• A teasing/detangling brush

• A flat iron (set to 285-305 degrees Fahrenheit or 140-150 Celsius)

The Step-by-Step Restoration:

1. Hydrate: Liberally mist the dry ends with water.

2. Detangle: Use your brush to gently work through any knots.

3. Smooth: Run the flat iron over the damp, brushed sections. This "seals" the fiber and removes the frizz.

4. Restyle: Remember, flat ironing will get rid of the fuzz, but it will also straighten the hair. Once the fibers are smooth, you can go back in and add your curls or waves back.
