What does it actually cost per month?
The sticker price lies. A “cheap” sew-in you redo every six weeks can cost more per month than an expensive wig you wear all season. Put in your numbers and see the real figure.
redone every 6–8 weeks — the service is a recurring cost.

What it really costs
$75/ month
That’s about $2.50 a day on sew-in — $150 total over 2 months. Remember this resets every time you re-install — the service cost comes back.
Why per-month, not per-purchase
- Recurring install fees are the hidden cost. Sew-ins and tape-ins charge you again every 6–8 weeks. Over a year that service cost can dwarf the hair.
- Reusable methods spread the cost. A wig, clip-ins, or a halo bought once and kept nice gets cheaper every month you wear it — that’s why a pricier reusable unit often wins.
- Quality hair lasts longer, so it costs less per month. The cheapest bundle that tangles after three washes isn’t the cheap option — run both through the calculator and see.
Spend it on hair that lasts, not a markup.
