What is a hair system?
A hair system is a non-surgical hair replacement solution designed to cover areas of thinning or balding hair. It consists of a base material, such as lace, polyurethane, or monofilament, onto which human or synthetic hair is attached. The system is applied to the scalp, usually with adhesives, tapes, or clips, to blend with the individual’s natural hair.
Hair replacement systems are commonly used by people experiencing hair loss due to conditions like male or female pattern baldness, and they can be customized to match the wearer’s hair color, texture, and style.
Advantages of hair system
✔ Immediate restoration of the appearance of hair.
✔ Possibility of customization in terms of color, texture, and style.
✔ Improved self-esteem and confidence of those who use them.
Disadvantages of hair system
– Need for regular maintenance and specific care.
– Possible discomfort or irritation on the scalp.
– Initial cost and additional expenses for adjustments and care products.
– Limitations in activities such as swimming or prolonged exposure to heat.
– It is a temporary solution, does not eradicate the root of alopecia.
What is the difference between a hair system and a wig?
Some people use the term hair system and wig as synonyms, but they are not the same. A wig is a piece of artificial or natural hair that completely covers the head and is placed to simulate a complete hairstyle, usually being a temporary and removable solution.
On the other hand, a hair system is designed to mimic the appearance of natural hair lost in specific areas, such as on the top of the head or in areas with partial baldness, sticking directly to the scalp of the man or woman. They are usually custom-made to fit with existing hair.
Is there another option to get back to plentiful hair?
Yes, there are hair treatments and hair grafts that will help you restore lost hair naturally and permanently. Hair stimulation consists of the application of nutrients and specific medication on the scalp, so that its action reaches directly to the hair follicle, favoring hair regeneration, strengthening the hair, and preventing hair loss.
Hair grafts are a safe and painless method that consists of extracting follicles from an area where strong, genetically-designed hair is present and implanting them in the area needed. The recognized and experienced hair clinics are ideal for this type of procedure.
