Keep in mind that some women don’t wear sheitals to cover their hair all the time. That can extend the life of their sheitals.

Au contraire. Most sheitals look better than women's own hair so shaitels are really worn to look better and attract the men.

So maybe single girls in shidduchim should start wearing sheitals...

5 in <5 years, but one we resold, so I'd say we've had 4.
Only 1 has fallen apart (was a $300 one).

Seems like we're on pace with some people and far behind/worse than others. Don't have any >$2k but I wouldn't say that explains it because again only a $300 one has gone to trash. The rest are still great.
"we"? are you wearing them too?

Maybe, but also sheitals destroy a woman's hair, so it's more helpful (catch 22) after marriage.

Everything in my family is we. I feel my wife's pain with things that are difficult for her and celebrate her achievements as well. And vice versa.

FYI sheital pros know what brand you're wearing just by looking at it.
bull crap! My wife bought a $750 no brand sheitel and brought it to a big sheitel macher and she thought it was a certain brand sheitel worth $2000- basicly it all depends on the hair so sometimes you can go wrong even with a more expensive company, but if you know how to pick the right hair then you can go to lower end and find a beautiful sheitel.

Yes, but to really feel the pain you must actually wear it in this hot, humid and disgusting weather. I (or should I say, we) await pics.

Hmm, wife started off with 2 sheitels for 9k which ended up being crap hair. She ended up getting 3 replacements for free, 1 of which she gets the real compliments on. After a year we bought another for 2.5k as a daily/work sheitel. We are now 5 years in and haven't bought any in the last 4 years. I guess that makes it 6 for 11.5k...

You have to be frum to wear a wig?

Anyone can wear a sheital, there's just no reason to unless you're frum.

The 1 exception 😜, but seriously these purchases are decisions we make as a family.

Yes

Maybe she isn't a real pro. I have friends that can recognize a gali, shuli, shpritzi, faigy, Chaya bruchi on someone's head. As an aside, I wasn't arguing that the cheap ones can't be as good quality.

Yes, but to really feel the pain you must actually wear it in this hot, humid and disgusting weather. I (or should I say, we) await pics.
I think I actually fear wearing Kiki Rikis  in this weather more than a sheital. (And for those in such communities - tights.)  PS maybe it's time for you to get a Wunder Wig for the summers.
