How Much Do You Know about Black Male Hair Units?

When considering a hairpiece or wig, one of the first questions people often ask is how much they will cost. The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the type of unit, quality of materials, and style.

The price of a hair unit can vary depending on the type of unit you choose and the quality of the hair. However, in general, male hair units tend to be less expensive than female hair units.

The price of a hair unit further depends upon the area it covers, so full coverage wigs cost more than partial covering toupees and extensions. Another difference that increases or decreases the price tag of a male hair unit is hair fiber.

 

 

Human hair units are slightly more expensive than synthetic fiber units. There is a reason human hair wigs are more expensive than their synthetic counterparts. Human hair is much more versatile and can be styled in many different ways. It also looks more natural than synthetic hair, making it a better value in the long run.

Apart from all the aforementioned factors, the base construction contributes to the cost of a male hair unit as well. The more delicate a base is, the higher its price will be. Medical hair units may cost more than regular ones due to their intricate cap construction and fine base quality.

No matter how expensive a hair unit is, the price will still be affordable as compared to other hair transplant and hair recovery surgeries. These hair units are available in various price brackets to suit every budget.

 

How Long Does a Male Hair Unit Last?

A hair unit is a piece of headwear that is made from human or synthetic hair. It is commonly used to cover bald patches on the scalp, disguise hair loss, or add volume and length to natural hair.

There are many different types of hair units available on the market, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.

While hair units are gaining popularity, a frequent question that is on many people’s minds – is how long does a hair unit for men last?

The answer, unfortunately, is not the same for everyone. Depending on the person’s lifestyle, hair type, and other factors, a hair unit may last anywhere from several months to a year or more.

How long a male hair unit will last for a man depends on the quality of the hairpiece, how often it is worn and how well it is taken care of.

Generally speaking, a good-quality hairpiece should last for around 6 months before needing to be replaced. However, if it is only worn occasionally, it may last for a year. Taking care of the hairpiece by cleansing and conditioning it regularly can help to extend its lifespan.

 

How to Maintain a Male Hair Unit?

 

Maintaining a hair unit is important for men who want to keep their look neat and tidy. The process can seem daunting, but with the right tips, it can be a breeze.

In this post, we will go over how to take care of your hair unit, so it stays looking its best. By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to keep your hair unit looking good for years to come.

So let’s get started!

1. Always use a Wig Cap when Wearing Your Wig

Wearing a cap underneath a black male hair unit will help protect both natural hair and wig fibers from getting tangled. Not only does this make sure that you keep up appearances, but it’s also good for the health of natural hair follicles and scalp.

Wearing a cap underneath creates a barrier between natural hair and wig hair. The sebum produced by the scalp does not reach wig hair, keeping the accumulation of debris at bay.

2. Store the Black Male Unit with Care

When not in use, be sure to store your wig on a mannequin or head form. This will help maintain its shape and keep it from getting tangled up. If you don’t plan on using the hairpiece for an extended period of time (i.e., more than 6 months), then make sure that they are tightly packed into boxes; otherwise, moisture can get inside, which causes molding and interferes with the hair texture.

3. Avoid Using Heating Tools Regularly

When you use a heat source, keep it at low degrees so that the wig does not get damaged. High heat can cause base mesh and knots to melt and break down in places that will ruin its quality for wearing or styling.

Frequent exposure to heat can cause the hair to fall off and look frizzy or damaged. Try styling the wig with heating tools only once or twice a week. Lock the style with the help of hair setting spray or hair mousse to avoid using heating tools daily.

4. Over-Washing is the Enemy

When you wash your wig, make sure not to overdo it. Washing a unit every two weeks will help keep its shape and color intact, while frequent washes may cause damage.

The washing frequency is always directly proportional to the usage of a hair unit. Thus, the greater the use, the higher the frequency. Black male hair units are also thicker than regular units; therefore, quality washing is required.

5. Avoid Regular Hair Shampoos and Conditioners

Never use regular shampoos, conditioners, or hair masks on black male hair units. Invest in good-quality shampoo and leave-in conditioners with fewer chemicals. Use mild formulas that are specifically designed to clean hair replacement systems.

Harsh chemicals can cause the hair knots to lose elasticity, causing the wig hair to fall off. Using mild formulas increases the longevity of the wig up to a great extent.

6. Give it a Thorough Rinse

Black male wigs are made from several hand-sewn strands, which is why they are so dense and natural-looking. To ensure your wig remains looking its best, it’s important to rinse it properly after a few usages.

Fill a sink with cool water and add a small amount of wig shampoo. Swish the wig around in the water until it is fully coated. Be sure to avoid getting the wig wetter than necessary, as this can cause it to lose its shape.

Rinse the shampoo out of the wig by gently squeezing it and then shaking it out. Be careful not to wring or twist the wig, as this can damage the delicate fibers.

Lay the wig flat on a towel and allow it to air dry.

7. Never Sleep While Wearing the Hair Unit

Remove your wig before sleeping to ensure that it lasts as long and is vibrant. When you wear a styled hairpiece every day, the oils from your skin can cause debris which leads to needing another replacement much sooner than necessary.

Sleeping with a black male hair unit on is totally forbidden as it leads to hair tangling. Tangling makes the hair look frizzy and dull; therefore, the wig must be removed before sleeping. The built-in hair clips or adhesives may also turn out to be detrimental to natural hair while tossing and turning in bed at night, causing friction which leads to hair damage.

8. Use Heat Protectant Spray

The sun can be harsh on your wig, so it is important to use a heat protectant spray before going out in the midday glare.

The best way for you to stay protected from those harmful UV rays and arduous sweating, which leads not only to wig damage but also dull hair, is by generously spraying heat protectant spray every single time.

The same goes for blow-drying and heat styling. Style the hair unit as many times as you want but never skip the heat protectant.

9. Use the Right Type of Comb

Brushing your wig after taking it off is a great way to prevent tangles. Gently remove any knots, smooth out fibers (and pull them apart if necessary) before storage.

Vent brushes, round brushes, and smoothing combs can all damage a hair unit, so they should be avoided. Excess shedding may result from using the wrong tool for styling, or worse yet, knots will begin forming.

A wide-tooth comb is ideal as it never gets stuck in the hair knots. Divide the hair into small sections and smooth out the knots with the help of a wide-tooth wooden hairbrush.

10. Use Silicone Spray for Natural Shine

Natural hair receives oils and moisture from the scalp, contributing to its shine. Wigs lack that natural shine, so to make your black male hair unit look extremely natural, use plant-based silicone spray.

This spray will instantly give the hair unit a shine and natural finish. The spray will also help detangle the knots, keeping the frizz to a limit.
