For How Long Can You Keep a Wig Glued On?

Been frantically googling that question in the hope of a quick answer!

You've come to the right place, girl! 

You can keep your favorite natural hair wig glued on anywhere from a couple of days up to a maximum of approximately one week. 

There are exceptions to this rule — the care you take with your wig will extend its lifetime, for example — but go ahead and use it as a guide when you're breathing new life into your crown. 

Now that we've put your mind at ease and shown you we know what we're talking about let's dive into the details for a closer look! 

What influences how long your wig will stay glued on?

There's no exact science for predicting how long your wig will stay glued on because it depends on a variety of factors, including: 

• The quality of the adhesive you use (we can help with this a little later on) and how well it has been applied 
• Your scalp type and how well it can breathe when you bring your new-look crown to life 
• How much work do you put into caring for your wig, making sure that it is looked after the right way, and knowing the correct way to install your wig on long hair or dense hair 

If you really focus on the fine details and add plenty of TLC, you can prolong the wig installation a lot longer than you might think.

Let's take a look at how to do it. 

Invest in Quality Wig Glue

When you want to keep your new HD lace wig in place, you want the very highest quality glue. 

Look for something that is both waterproof and sweatproof so that you can fit it and forget. 

Ideal when you want to make sure the glue stays in place and does its thing so you can do your thing in style. 

Cleanse your scalp 

An oily scalp is a fact of life for some of us, and it's nothing to shy away from or be embarrassed about.

If you know your crown is blessed with a little more of that natural shine and oil than most, take it into account when applying the glue.

Oil can eat away at the glue, so you may want to apply a little more.

Take the time to thoroughly cleanse and dry your skin before application. It's the little things that make all the difference! 

Go Easy on the Energy 

If you love to swim or run and are always working up a sweat, that's good for you!

Creating the figure you have always wanted is about what you eat and what you do with that energy, so it's great that you're so mobile and energized.

The only thing to have in the back of your mind is that heavy amounts of sweating will gradually weaken your wig glue.

Got a big night coming up and want your new Bob wig to be the star of the show?

Maybe go a little easier in the gym than normal and dial things back a couple of levels. 

Focus on your Technique

Correct application is the secret sauce that will allow you to get your wig in place for days and days.

The key point is that you don't need to overcomplicate things — any glue worth its place on the shelf will come with some easy-to-follow instructions that guide you through everything you need to know.
