Requirements For Wig Hair Donations
There are specific requirements to make a wig from your own hair if you’re interested in donating it. First, the health of your hair must be good enough to get through the wig making process. We encourage you to be critical, but if you have any questions regarding the health of your hair, do not hesitate to contact us.
Secondly, the length of your hair matters. Here at the Hair Loss Center in San Diego, accept a minimum of 14 inches from root to end. We set this as the minimum because 3 inches of your hair will be used up to be hand-tied into the wig’s base. Doing so transforms your 14-inch hair donation into an 11-inch wig.
How Long Does It Take To Make A Wig From Your Own Hair
The first step in using your own hair to make a custom wig is to decide on a wig manufacturer. The Hair Loss Center in San Diego prides itself in creating the best custom wigs for all kinds of patients.
From the day you ship your donated hair to us, the process to make your custom, real hair wig can take up to 12 to 16 weeks. This is due to the specific process we have for manufacturing wigs. Our wig manufactures take the time to produce your wig in a natural-appearing manner. By hand-tying each individual strand in the wig base, they ensure this look.
How To Take Care of and Store Real Human Wigs
Maintaining our custom-made wigs made from human hair is actually quite simple and easy. Our hairpieces contain natural hair. This means that you can take care of your wigs exactly how you would take care of your own hair, only with less frequent washes.
First, brush through your wig with your fingers or wide tooth comb to remove any knots and tangles. This prevents as many hair strands from being pulled out of the wig itself. Secondly, rinse your wig under lukewarm water, and wash with moisturizing shampoo.
Lastly, rinse the shampoo out by carefully combing through with your fingers. Remember to condition your human wig after rinsing the shampoo out.
Once you’re done washing your hair, you’ll need to store your wig on a mannequin. This will help the wig maintain its exact head shape for you.
How Long Will My Real Human Hair Wig Last
This is a big concern for those looking into making a custom wig with their own hair. You obviously want to invest in a product that is worth your time and will last.
Our wigs at Hair Loss Center in San Diego are proven to last long if maintained and stored correctly. The lifetime of your wigs falls solely on how you store and care for the wig. Unfortunately, wear and tear will only shorten the life of a wig. That’s why consistent and proper maintenance will only ensure the efficiency and appearance of your custom-made wig.
