How Long Does a Hair Patch Last? (Plus 7 Ways to Double Its Life)

• Swiss Lace: 6–8 months (ultra-light but delicate)
• French Lace / Frontlace: 8–10 months
• Mono / PU Hybrid (Octagon): 10–12 months
• Injected PU Skin: 8–10 months
• Miraj Signature: 10–12 months

• Rinse fresh water through the hair after every workout, swim or heavy sweat session.
• Shampoo only 2–3 times a week using a sulfate-free wig-safe formula.
• Never brush wet — always detangle from tip to root with a wide-tooth loop brush.
• Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase to reduce nightly friction on the lace.
• Never use direct-heat tools above 160°C. Human hair on a patch can't self-repair like your natural hair.
• Get professional re-bonding every 4–6 weeks — never stretch a bond past 8 weeks.
• Store a spare unit in a mesh bag on a canvas head, never in plastic.

Chlorine + no rinse. UV exposure without a hat on holiday. And, most commonly, DIY re-bonding at home with the wrong adhesive. Each of these can cut a patch's life in half.
