Choosing between long term hair pieces and disposable hair pieces is a personal choice usually based on financial and esthetic reasons. Throw Away systems are very thin and light weight and are generally made with very light ventilation or looping methods and usually are made using thin polyurethane skin or lace. They are made to NOT hold up for more than 1 to 3 months. While I personally feel that throw away systems are simply poor quality cheap systems that require they be tossed after a short period of wear they are viable and there are many out there wanting this type of system. We will gladly produce this type of product for anyone interested in a monthly system change.

Longevity from a hair piece is really kind of a relative concept. Our basic stock systems while originally designed for Program Selling have a pretty good life expectancy. We’ve found from our customers that based on lifestyle and care of the system our stock pieces have been found to last anywhere from 6 months to a year. The reason is the quality of the production. However, longevity for many means the system should last for one to two years or more. If longevity is a requirement we can definitely build a system for that and would suggest NextGen™ fiber is added to any system in which longevity is the main requirement.

Another important factor to the longevity of any hair system is the application and wear of the system. If you are permanently or semi permanently attached and keep you hair on your head 24 hours a day and 5 to 21 days at a time we strongly suggest you have 2 systems. One way to accomplish this is to have an old system repaired and refurbished while a new system is being made. You’ll get a lot of mileage with your hair system by switching it with another each time you need to re-attach. Think of it this way: how would your underwear hold up if you wore the same pair 24 hours a day for 5 to 21 days at a time took it off, cleaned it and put it back on for another 5 to 21 days? UGLY THOUGHT isn’t it?? Having 2 systems at all times has many benefits the most important being that when you do switch you can really thoroughly clean your other system. Even the retailers don’t have this luxury and I can assure you after wearing your hair for an extended period of time it will require more than an half hour to do a proper cleaning and I would anticipate up to 24 hours due to the need to soak the system in cleaner to remove all residue from the hair and base.

Choosing between a human hair piece and a synthetic hair piece is really a personal choice although sometimes because of hair color the options may be limited. Most people would prefer human hair simply because it is a natural and we can relate to it. However, if you have a great deal of gray hair, synthetic is best used for the gray because of its appearance and if you need to color your system the synthetic fiber won’t take the hair color. Synthetic is also being used for highlight colors and blended with human hair to keep the weight of a system down. Synthetic fiber is lighter weight than human hair so for the look of heavy density without the weight often a blend of human hair and synthetic will be used. Right now there is an upcoming shortage of human hair on the horizon. This is a fact through out the industry and will become a reality in the future.

We are fortunate to have our NextGen™ fiber ready for this future situation and find that blending NextGen™ with human hair creates an unbelievable touch and feel along with ease of styling, quick drying and durability without the bulk of increased density to the system. It is truly the best of both worlds. Ask us about NextGen™ fiber when you call we’d be happy to tell you how this innovation can work for you.

When deciding between ordering custom hair or stock hair pieces there are a few issues to take into consideration up front. First can you be accommodated with stock hair pieces? If you’ve worn stock hair pieces in the past and it worked for you and you were comfortable with stock I would suggest you stick with it. Stock hair replacement systems are generally very consistent in many ways. The ventilation, base size and contour are always the same. Stock hair replacements become a part of the production that never varies as the specifications are set and the job of the manufacturer is to keep that consistent with every piece that’s made.

Custom is required when a stock hair piece won’t work because of size, color, hair density, hair style, contour and frontal design. Generally speaking most will be accommodated with stock but there is nothing like a custom system for best in fit and appearance. We can help you determine what will be best for you based on your requirements and desires. Call us for a Free Phone Consultation and we’ll tell you honestly which way we think you should go. Naturally we make more money on a custom order but we want you to be happy and come back to us for your future hair replacement needs and we really do want what is best for you.
