Answer first
A hair system is a wearable item that is replaced from time to time, usually every few months depending on the base, hair type and how it's cared for. Thin, natural-looking bases wear sooner than sturdier ones, and good home care plus regular maintenance visits help it look good for longer.
What shortens life
Hot water, harsh shampoo, heat tools, rubbing the base, sun and chlorine.
What helps
Gentle washing, conditioning, a satin pillowcase and on-time maintenance.
Planning ahead
Many wearers keep a second system so there is always one ready during cleaning or replacement.
