Why does the wave or curl on wig disappear after a few washes?

Hey hair fam! 👋 Welcome back to STARHAIR!

 

So, we got a super common question lately: ‘Why does the beautiful wave or curl on my human hair wig disappear after a few washes? And... is there such a thing as PERMANENT curl for human hair?’ 🤔Today, we're spilling the tea on this!

Straight to the point: Human hair has this natural quirk. When it gets wet or even just damp? Bigger curls and waves tend to relax and loosen up. Think about it like your own natural hair after a swim! The bigger and bouncier the curl was to start with? The faster it might straighten out.


What counts as a ‘big curl’ that might relax? We're talking styles like:

                 

  • Loose Wave– you know, those gorgeous, open, bouncy curls?

                 

  • Natural Wave– if it's not super tight, it might relax too.
    These guys are the most likely to lose their shape faster with washing.


Here's a CRUCIAL point, especially for my blonde lovers! 🚨 The lighter the hair color, the faster those curls relax! Seriously! Take #613 – that super light blonde? You might wash it just once or twice, and boom, that original curl pattern? It can look totally different! 😮💨"

                   


So... does this mean human hair can NEVER hold a permanent curl? Not exactly! Look at tighter textures like Kinky Curly or Kinky Straight! These smaller, tighter curls? They're like superheroes! 🦸♀️ They hold on so well, your wig might literally wear out before the curl gives up! 🙌"

                   


Let's wrap it up with the key takeaways:

  1. Color Matters: Lighter colors (like 613) = Curls fade much faster. Darker/natural colors hold better.

  2. Curl Size Matters: Big, bouncy curls (Body Wave, Loose Wave) = Relax faster. Small, tight curls (Kinky Curly) = Last WAY longer, practically ‘permanent’ for the wig's life.

  3. It's NOT a Defect! This is just how human hair behaves. It's biology, not bad quality!"
