Sun exposure
Just like our own natural hair, wigs will also fade when exposed to sunlight for a long time, especially under strong ultraviolet rays, which will turn the color of the wig yellow. If they have some bright colors, it will also cause them to lose their original color.
Exposure to chemicals
Wig color fading occurs when wig comes in contact with coloring pigments or certain chemicals, such as colorants, perfumes, or other chemical cleansers.
Quality
Low-quality wigs use low-quality dyes in the production process, which are often unstable and easy to fade. However, some wigs with better hair quality are easy to fade over time and after repeated washing due to the insufficient stability of the hair dye used. Beautyforever wigs are all high-quality 100% human hair wigs, which will largely preserve the color of the wig without fading quickly, and may be your best choice.
Heat styling
Hair can be damaged in high heat, so using some heat styling tools, such as irons, curling irons, hair dryers can also cause wigs to fade.
