A toupee typically lasts between 4 months to 2 years depending on the type of hair used and how well it is maintained. Synthetic toupees usually last 4 to 6 months, human hair toupees can last 1 to 2 years with proper care, and hybrid toupees last around 8 to 12 months. The base material and maintenance routines also play a significant role in lifespan, with some skin or lace bases lasting just a few months and mono bases offering longer durability up to a year or more. Regular cleaning, proper storage, and avoiding excessive heat can help extend the life of a toupee.
