Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the typical lifespan of a wig is 2 to 5 years. With prolonged use and inadequate care, it generally lasts 2–3 years; however, with intermittent use and proper maintenance, it can last 3–5 years. The exact duration depends on individual care practices. Long-term wear may affect appearance, so it is recommended to seek guidance from qualified medical professionals at正规 hospitals for appropriate improvements.

The exact duration depends on individual care practices. Long-term wig use may affect appearance. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and, under the guidance of a qualified physician, consider hair restoration methods such as follicular unit transplantation, scarless hair transplant, micro-needle hair transplant, gemstone-blade hair transplant, or 3D hair transplant to improve hair loss.
