Non-Surgical Hair Replacement Systems
Posted in Hair Pieces, Hair Replacement, Non-Surgical Hair Replacement on September 5th, 2010 – Be the first to commentHair replacement systems have improved quite a bit over the last decade; their construction has been improved, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. For individuals with widespread baldness that require a full head of hair to be happy, these hair replacement systems offer a quick and painless solution. Hair replacement systems are made from human or synthetic hair, or a combination of both and are custom constructed for the individual user.
The process of obtaining a custom hair replacement system typically starts with a visit to a salon for an evaluation. During this initial consultation the extent of the client’s hair loss is measured and they are given information about price, maintenance and future appointments. It usually takes several days for a custom hair replacement system to be constructed, based on the client’s choices.
As described by the Hair Replacement Systems Guide, During the initial consultation a fine mesh foundation is placed on the client’s balding area and is precisely cut to match the area. The hair will then be implanted into this foundation to create the hairpiece. Foundations of hairpieces have been made much thinner recently, which make the system much more undetectable; however they are not as durable and must be replaced more often.
These hair replacement systems are designed to be worn for extended periods, three to six weeks at a time. The hairpiece is attached to the client’s scalp using clips, weaving, adhesive or a combination of the three. The hairpiece must be removed by a professional approximately once every month for maintenance, cleaning and styling. During these monthly visits the scalp is shampooed and their hair is cut; and the hair system may be colored or touched up if necessary.
When a hair replacement system is attached to the existing hair it may be known as fusion, weaves, cabling, beading or bonding and can offer added security for a person with an active lifestyle. Because this type of hair replacement system is attached to the client’s existing hair, it must be reattached periodically depending on the rate of natural hair growth.
Hair replacement systems are one way to regain self-esteem and have become much more natural looking in recent years. However, one must be aware that hair replacement systems require regular maintenance and should be prepared to invest the time and money that is required to keep the hair replacement system looking its best.
