The durability of a polyurethane (PU) base used in hair systems or wigs can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the material, maintenance routine, and frequency of use. Generally, a well-maintained PU base can last anywhere from 1 to 3 months before needing replacement.
However, it’s important to note that individual experiences may differ. Factors such as body chemistry, sweat production, exposure to heat or moisture, and the type of adhesive used can affect the lifespan of a PU base. Additionally, excessive pulling or tugging during attachment or removal processes may contribute to wear and tear.
Regular cleaning and proper care are essential for prolonging the life of a PU base. Following manufacturer guidelines for cleaning methods and using recommended products will help maintain its integrity.
