Hair Integrations
A hair integration blends an individual's own hair with
a synthetic hair system to create fullness, volume or
length. It is for individuals with thinning hair or
hair loss who want to make the most of their natural
hair. An integration is constructed with a cabling
system that ensures durability and security while
providing a comfortable fit. The system is placed on
the head and your own hair is pulled through the
openings in the base, then styled. Combining the hair
integration with your natural growing hair secures the
system on the head. Clips, tape or adhesives can be
used for added security. Hair integrations are
personally customized in color, size and design. This
type of hair enhancement is used and preferred by many
because it is virtually impossible to detect, enables
you to use your own hair to blend together with the
system, and guarantees maximum comfort in any
environment.
Partials
Partials are for people with extreme hair loss in a
specific area - from cranial surgery or burns, for
example. Partials are designed in various sizes and are
offered with many base materials in a vast array of
colors. Although they are similar in size and shape to
lower quality wiglets found in departments stores and
mail order catalogs, high quality partials are custom
designed, available only through hair replacement
studios, and have the appearance of natural hair.
Skin Grafting
This
method is the most advanced non-surgical hair
replacement treatment. Hair is duplicated to match the
clients color, density and texture. It is then
implanted into the scalp in a non-invasive, skin-like
membrane hair graft. Each hair is individually implanted
so that the shaft emanates from the dermal membrane on a
vertical bias. This allows for natural multi-directional
hair movement when the hair is wet or dry. The overall
end result is indistinguishable from a natural healthy
full head of hair.
Hollywood Theatrical Lace
This
is a popular procedure used by celebrities worldwide in
which hair is attached to a fine lace material, giving
the appearance of hair growing from the
scalp, especially in the front hairline.
TYPES OF ATTACHMENT
Medical Bonding
A
medical adhesive is used to bond the new hair to the
existing hair. This type of bonding is favored by those
who prefer a very secure attachment, for example, people
who enjoy an active lifestyle (water sports, intense
exercise, etc.)
Bonding Strips
Transparent medical tapes are used to adhere the hair
system directly to the scalp. Great for very active
lifestyles.
Hair Lock Systems
Small, unnoticeable clips are sewn under the hair system
and are used to secure the system to the client’s
existing hair. This allows for a more temporary type of
attachment.
Hair Weaves
Hair
extensions can be attached to your own hair by weaving.
This can be done in a single strand method or in wefts
(or tracks). A weft is a grouping of hair that is
continuously connected at the top, but free-flowing at
the bottom. Wefts are attached around the periphery of
the scalp in appropriate areas. They can be attached
with adhesives, fusion, or be sewn onto existing hair.
As long as the extensions are not so heavy that they tug
on the hair or scalp, this is perfectly safe and, when
done by a professional, a very attractive option.
