Modern hair replacement systems are now made with ultra-thin polyurethane skin bases which replicate the actual scalp. The clear material matches your skin tone perfectly. Bases come in 0.02mm to 0.10mm thickness - thinner ones look more natural while thicker ones last longer. The results appear completely real.
The lifespan of hair replacement units varies by base thickness. Ultra-thin systems (0.02-0.03mm) have a life span of 3-6 weeks. Medium ones (0.06-0.08mm) last 1-2 months. It has a life span of 3 months with thick bases (0.10-0.12mm). Thick bases (0.10-0.12mm) can last 3 months. Proper care, climate, and activity level affect durability. Using good products and having two systems helps them last longer.
Skin hair replacement systems are perfect for people who lead active lives. The base made of polyurethane creates a strong bond with adhesives. This keeps the system firmly in place during sports activities and swimming. When you choose thicker bases, you get better durability. While these systems don't breathe as well as lace ones, many active users don't mind. They prefer the secure fit and natural appearance that polyurethane systems give them. The hair replacement looks real and stays put.
On your hair replacement system, apply oil-based removers to remove adhesive residual. Select shampoos that are sulfate-free. Get special skin base cleaners for the base area. Let the system air dry on a stand. Add leave-in conditioner to make hair soft. Store in a clean, dry place. The two systems are beneficial in that they can be rotated to increase the life.
Yes, skin hair replacement systems can be colored or permed with certain limits. For coloring, only go darker using semi or demi-permanent colors. Have a professional do the coloring. For perming, use mild solutions briefly. Use moderate heat for styling with protectant products. We suggest buying a system in your desired style instead of making changes later.
Select the appropriate base size that will conceal your fine hair in the scalp. Adjust the density to your own hair: 90-100% in case you want to achieve a light effect or 120- 130% in case you want to achieve more volume. Use a perfect match of color or a lighter shade. Make the hairline look natural, not straight. Use the same styling products on both your real hair and the system. Have a hairstylist trim the system while you're wearing it.
Liquid adhesives like Ghost Bond and Max Hold give strong attachment. Use Bold Hold Sensitive for sensitive skin. Tapes like Walker Ultra Hold offer easy use. Choose based on your needs and activity level. Use liquid adhesive at edges for security. Always use proper removers.
