HAIRSYSTEMS FOR MEN
A men's hair system, often referred to as a hairpiece, toupee, or wig, is a non-surgical solution designed to cover hair loss. Here’s an overview of what it is and how it works:
### What It Is:
A hair system is a custom-made or ready-to-wear piece that mimics natural hair. It is constructed from either human hair, synthetic fibers, or a combination of both. The base, which adheres to the scalp, is usually made from lace, polyurethane, or a combination, designed to be breathable and comfortable.
### How It Works:
1. **Assessment and Selection:**
- **Consultation:** A hair specialist evaluates the extent of hair loss and discusses preferences for style, color, density, and hair type.
- **Customization:** For custom hair systems, a mold of the scalp may be taken to ensure a perfect fit. Color matching is done to blend seamlessly with any remaining natural hair.
2. **Construction:**
- **Base Creation:** The base material is selected based on the user's lifestyle and skin sensitivity. Lace is often used for a natural look along the hairline, while polyurethane provides durability and a secure attachment.
- **Hair Attachment:** Strands of hair are individually knotted or injected into the base, depending on the desired appearance and movement.
3. **Application:**
- **Preparation:** The scalp is cleaned and prepped to ensure a strong bond.
- **Attachment Methods:** Several methods are used to attach the hair system:
- **Adhesive Tapes:** Double-sided tapes offer strong adhesion and can last for several days to weeks.
- **Liquid Adhesives:** Glue provides a more secure and longer-lasting bond, ideal for active lifestyles.
- **Combination:** Often, a combination of these methods is used for added security.
4. **Styling and Maintenance:**
- **Cut and Style:** Once attached, the hair system is cut and styled to the wearer’s preference.
- **Regular Maintenance:** The hair system requires regular maintenance, including cleaning, reattachment, and occasional repairs. Users typically revisit their specialist every few weeks to ensure it remains in optimal condition.
### Advantages:
- **Non-Surgical:** Unlike hair transplants, hair systems do not involve surgery, making them a lower-risk option.
- **Immediate Results:** Provides an instant solution to hair loss.
- **Customizable:** Can be tailored to match the wearer’s natural hair color, texture, and style preferences.
### Considerations:
- **Maintenance:** Requires regular upkeep to maintain appearance and adhesion.
