There is a vast difference between what the
manufacturers sell the hair system to the stylist for and what the
client pays the stylist for the same system. We are a factory direct
distributor for custom hair systems. We take out the middleman and give
the public a discounted Retail price. We also offer
wholesale hairpieces to
the stylist (qualification is necessary).

Daily wearers put double sided tape around the
perimeter. Extended wearers go to a stylist
to have the system bonded with
Hairpiece adhesives or they may use a cable weave
track and sew method of attachment. We offer an
educational video to learn how to do the different attachments.
Yes, BUT it really depends on the type of swimming
you're doing and the method of
attachment used. Daily wearers are limited and need to be more
careful. If you plan on cliff diving or water skiing, an extended wear
method of attachment is advised.
Natural hair is constantly shedding (up to 150 hairs a
day) and replacing itself (hopefully). Because the system hair doesn't
grow, its life span is limited. Daily wear systems will last longer than
extended wear systems because sleeping and showering with them on adds
to the wear and tear. One year is average. I've seen them last from 6
months to 2 years.
It can be done either way. It's up to you and your
stylist.
It shouldn't. The key in preventing the
custom hairpiece from
lifting up at all is having it made to conform correctly to the shape of
your head. That is one reason a custom system is superior to a stock
piece. When you
make your template (its really easy) be sure
to use 4 layers of clear packing tape so the template will hold the
shape and contour of your head. A system that fits well gives a more
secure feeling.
First thing to do is take your system to a reputable
stylist to have it cut in on your head. Clean your system with a mild pH
shampoo (4.5-5.5). Use cream type conditioners that do NOT contain
Lanolin, polymers, or heavy oils. Be sure to keep the cream conditioner
OFF the base of the unit because it can cause the knots to soften, then
hair will fall out. Use leave on spray conditioner also to keep the hair
soft and pliable. Not conditioning at all will cause dryness and
tangling. Stay away from SD-40 alcohol based styling aids as they tend
to dry the hair.
Extended wearers average 4-6 weeks, depending on how
fast your own hair growths, natural oils in your scalp and how active
your life style is.

Could you
explain the pros and cons of synthetic vs. human hair, vs. a synthetic
human blend?
Many people have their own personal
opinions and preferences. However, there are certain facts that can be
made to help make your decision. Both human and synthetic hair can
experience color fading. Human hair can be re-colored, synthetic hair
can't. Synthetic systems make good daily wear hair replacements because it has
relatively low maintenance. But if synthetic is used for extended wear
(sleeping and showering in it) it tends to go fuzzy too fast and human
hair doesn't. Synthetic hair goes flat and must be steam waved every 6-8
weeks. Human hair can be ordered with wave up to 10mm or it can be permed (with care). However, if the hair must be tightly curled, only
synthetic can be ordered that way. Grey hair in systems is mostly synthetic.
Grey hair makes a good blend with a human darker color mix, because if
the color fades, it can be tinted again without covering the Grey.

What's the
difference between a custom hair replacement system and a stock hairpiece?
Stock hair pieces are a standard size, recession and
contour. They are also limited on colors available. They are pre made
and faster to get, but do not generally fit your head properly. Custom
hair replacement systems have been specially made and designed to fit best on your head
only, with your individual needs and requirements met. They look the
most real. To know for sure if what you're getting is truly custom see
our guarantee page.
