Exploring The Types Of Hair Replacement Systems

ByJohn Twin

Over 40% of all men may experience male pattern baldness, and one in five women will experience hair loss. With so many people going through this experience, it is a wonder the topic of toupees and wigs are still a taboo.

Everyone wants to look their best at all times. For an inexpensive, non-permanent and non-invasive solution, you can always buy a wig or a hairpiece from Times New Hair. Let’s look at the different types of hair replacement systems.

1. Medications and shampoos

New shampoos and medicines have been developed that encourage hair growth and can be used to preemptively prevent hair loss to some degree. This can be useful for those struggling with hair loss to be able to regrow it naturally.

 2. Hair Transplant

In this procedure, a patient is put under anaesthesia, and then the hair is taken from the back of the head and then transplanted in larger grafts or single hairs to the balding areas.

Those were the invasive procedures you can use to combat hair loss, and the following are the non-invasive procedures which are common hair replacement systems.

 3. Hair pieces

A hair piece is also commonly referred to as a toupee. It is a temporary solution that can be attached to your scalp to give the illusion of a full head of hair. They are made of both synthetic and real hair.

It would be wise to go for a hair piece made of natural hair as it looks much more realistic. It will also last much longer than synthetic pieces. The following are the different kinds of material that can be used for the base.

  • Polymers

Men’s hairpieces are made from polymers because they are incredibly durable, the base material is thicker, which leads to an easier application, and it is easily attachable as well as cheap. However, it tends to get very hot and can be uncomfortable in the summer months and does not look very natural.

  • Mesh fabric

This consists of polyester or nylon and is much more natural than a polymer base, it is also light, but since the material is so thin, it can easily be torn making its shelf life half of that of the polymer base.

 4. Systems that attach to the scalp

There are two systems that attach to the scalp; this is done to ensure that there is no more hair loss. The two methods are:

  • Clip-on hair systems

The systems are attached with clips onto your natural hair. These are very low maintenance as you do not need to cut your natural hair at all.

  •  Semi-permanent hair systems

These systems last the longest out of the temporary mens hair systems, which is why they are the most favourable choice out of all the options.

Conclusions

The semi-permanent hair systems are the best because they require the least amount of maintenance and will last for the longest time. Time New Hair is one of the leading suppliers of men’s toupees and has the right personnel to to help you out with your order.
