    Default The truth behind hair systems

    I feel it necessary to clarify the rules about hair pieces/systems/etc.
    Hair pieces have come a long way, basically they can now look really natural as long as you follow the basic principles.I run a company in Canada and have manufactured and installed over 20,000 units in my 20+ year experiance.
    Hair pieces are a good option for yoiung guys under 25 as you should never do a transplant unless you are a little older. If a hairpiece is not for yoiu, then use some Surethik hair fibers or some kind of coverup product like it. If you are not sure, use the surethik fibers first and then graduate into a hair piece when your ready.

    1. Density; If you are a male and wer r it thicker than a medium light, it will probably not blend with your own hair very well. Have your hair replacement company order light to medium light, and maybe medium light only in the front to make it last a little longer.

    2. Style; for god's sake, please do not wear it too low and allow for some natural recession.

    3. have the place that makes it for you add some natural highlights, maybe 20% of hair lighter by 2 color shades spread thoughout the entire hair system. It makes it look better than uni-tone hair. It will also allow your hair to blend with your own and absorb the light better.

    4. Get serviced every 2-3 weeks maximum if you are permanent attachment and monthly otherwise. Do not leave these glued on hair pieces longer than a few weeks. It will cause all kinds of problems as well as probably smell.

    5. Change to a new head of hair or system 3-5 times per year if possible, it will look more natural and you can avoid embarasement.

    6. Find a good company to work with, there are some good ones out there.

    7. Programs are ok as long as they are flexible, and never prepay up front.

    8. ask any questions about design and I would be glad to help as i do check this forum once and a while.
