If you’re considering a
hair system, one of the top questions is likely its lifespan. The good news is that with the right choices and care, LYRICAL HAIR
human hair systems can last 1 to 6 months—with some durable options lasting even longer. The key determinants? Base material, hair quality, maintenance, and environmental factors.
Base material is the most critical factor. Thin skin systems vary by thickness: 0.03mm ultra-thin options last 1–2 months for a natural look, while 0.08–0.12mm variants endure 4–6 months. Lace systems offer realism but less durability—Swiss lace (1–2 months) is nearly invisible, while
French lace (2–4 months) balances longevity and naturalness.
Mono and hybrid bases (combining materials like mono & lace) are sturdiest, lasting 3–6+ months.
Hair quality and processing also matter. LYRICALHAIR’s 100%
human hair systems last longer than processed alternatives. Darker, straight styles require less bleaching or coloring, extending lifespan compared to lighter, curly options.
Proper maintenance is non-negotiable. Use specialized products: a gentle cleanser to remove adhesive residue, deep conditioner for moisture (since
hair systems lack scalp oils), and leave-in spray for protection. Avoid harsh shampoos, excessive heat, and rough brushing. Rotating multiple systems and storing them on a stand in a cool, dry place also helps.
Environmental factors like sun exposure, humidity, chlorine, and saltwater can shorten lifespan. Wear a hat outdoors, rinse after swimming, and choose breathable systems for workouts. By prioritizing the right base material for your needs and following a consistent care routine, you can maximize your
hair system’s longevity and keep it looking fresh.
