I'd rather have mine washed less; I can go a year or even a year and several mos. between washings.

I have also heard that the less you wash it, the longer a wig lasts. But that is only if you take care of it I.e. brush, put in rollers etc.. So that it looks new and fresh. I try to do that and only send it in when it gets oily or ruined for some reason and I constantly get complimented on my wigs.

I don't know from where your sheitel macher is taking this. But I never heard about this, not from my teacher or at a show.

But... the color comes out after many washes and that depends on the quility of the die and the hair.

And I rather have a fresh wig than a fresh dry cleaned suit. (unless its dirty)


The color coming out also depends on the quality of the hair and how the shaitelmacher dries the shaitel (velcro rollers and light blowdrying is better on the color). You also have to realize that women who dye their hair do touch-ups to the roots every now & then which refreshes the existing color. Shaitels don't grow so they wear out the color.
