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

Facts about what holds the custom
hairpiece on?
Daily wearers put double sided
tape around the perimeter. Extended wearers go to
a stylist
to have the system bonded with adhesive 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.
Facts are, 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.
Truth is it shouldn't. The key
in preventing the 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 hairpiece
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
hairpiece to a reputable stylist to have it cut
in on your head. Clean your hairpiece 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.
Facts are 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 and truth 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 systems 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
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 hairpiece and a stock hairpiece?
Truth is stock hairpieces 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 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 a custom see our
guarantee page.
