Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about men’s hair systems, choosing the right option, attachment and everyday care.

What is a men’s hair system?

A men’s hair system is a non-surgical hairpiece designed to cover an area of thinning or missing hair. Hair is attached to a base that can be secured using suitable tape, liquid adhesive or clips, depending on the system.

How do I choose the right hair system?

Consider the base material, size, hair colour, density and texture, together with your lifestyle and preferred attachment method. Our Hair System Guide explains these choices. If you’re unsure, contact us before ordering so we can discuss the details you need to confirm.

How are men’s hair systems attached?

Hair systems can be secured using suitable adhesive tape, liquid adhesive or clips, depending on the base design and the wearer’s existing hair. The right method depends on your system, lifestyle and maintenance preferences. Follow the instructions supplied with your system and attachment products.

Will a hair system look natural?

A carefully selected and professionally fitted system can blend with your existing hair. Colour, density, texture, hairline placement and the final haircut all influence the result. Choosing the right combination is more important than simply choosing the thickest hair.

What is the difference between lace, skin/poly and hybrid bases?

Lace bases use a fine mesh, while skin/poly bases use a thin polyurethane material. Hybrid systems combine different base materials. Each design offers a different balance of appearance, breathability, attachment options and maintenance requirements.

How long does a hair system last?

There is no single lifespan for every hair system. Base construction, hair type, frequency of wear and care all affect durability. Check the expected lifespan of the specific model before buying and remember that delicate bases require particularly careful handling.

How often should I remove and reattach my hair system?

The schedule depends on your attachment method, adhesive, activity level and individual needs. Follow your supplier’s maintenance guidance and the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions. Check regularly for lifting or loosening rather than relying only on a fixed number of days.

Can I exercise or swim while wearing a hair system?

Some systems and attachment products are suitable for exercise and swimming, but suitability varies. Confirm this before use and observe the adhesive’s required curing time. Sweat, chlorine and salt water can increase maintenance needs and affect the hair or bond.

How should I wash and care for my hair system?

Use suitable care products and handle the hair gently. Avoid scrubbing, twisting or rubbing it with a towel. Follow the instructions for your hair type, base and attachment method. Our Care & Maintenance page explains the essentials.

Can I cut or heat-style my hair system?

A stylist experienced with hair systems can help shape and blend the haircut. Heat styling depends on the hair type: only use heated tools if your supplier approves them, and follow the specified temperature limits.

Can I remove my hair system myself?

This depends on the attachment method and your experience. Bonded systems require a compatible remover and gentle handling. Never force or pull the base away. Ask your supplier or fitter to demonstrate the correct removal and reattachment process first.

What if I need help before choosing or ordering?

Contact us with your questions and the details of the system you’re considering. Let us know your preferred style, colour, density and attachment method where possible, so we can identify what needs to be confirmed before you order.
