What is hair replacement?

Bondable hair systems made with special materials, such as lace or polyurethane, adhere to the scalp or are bonded on top of existing hair—also known as long hair bonding—for a secure feel and natural hair-growth-appearance. Once applied, the systems can be cut and styled to achieve any style desired. Each system is meticulously hand-crafted with high-quality human hair and gives you the liberty to choose your preferred length and hairstyle, which can be changed anytime you like!

What changes do people notice in their day-to-day life after wearing alternative hair?

Hair replacement is coined as a ‘transformative’ hair loss solution for a reason.

Hair and identity are tightly woven. Hair loss can have a deep emotional impact and cause a loss of confidence that bleeds into all areas of life, impacting work performance, relationships, and openness to new experiences. Having your hair back means having your life back because you regain the confidence to take on life with a revitalized outlook.

Hair replacement was especially life-changing for Lea, who’s hair loss was exacerbated in the wake of an expected tragedy. “The line of work that I was in, where I was traveling doing lectures, working with reps, always in meetings, and in front of a group—I have to say, it gives me such confidence just to have beautiful hair again.”

The secret to hair replacement’s success lies in its realism, lightweight feel, and security. Lea shares her experience after her first bonded system is applied.

"I had some trepidation and fear about the bonding mechanism, but it’s even lighter than what I’ve been wearing and very secure. I’m usually so aware of [wearing alternative hair], and I’m not aware of it right now. I can’t feel a separation [between my biological hair and the system], I feel nothing on my scalp. This is so light I actually feel like I’m not wearing hair. I am literally blown away."

To close out her interview, Lea shared advice for others experiencing hair loss and considering trying hair replacement.

The amount of confidence it will give anyone going through hair loss is exponential. They’ll feel really beautiful and love it. The joy that [hair replacement] brings peoplewhodon’t have beautiful hair naturally, or who have lost their hair, it’s such a gift.

In Conclusion

Whether you have fine hair that has been progressively thinning or you’re already wearing wigs or hair toppers but are seeking a more durable option, consider hair replacement as a solution for your hair loss. This innovative technology offers a comfortable and highly realistic solution that fits right into your lifestyle. Unlike hair restoration or hair transplant surgeries which are invasive procedures, hair replacement is non-invasive because the systems are applied using bonding techniques.

With a rising acceptance for wearing alternative hair, plus continual innovations in the hair replacement market, there’s no better time to try than now. Best of all, hair replacement will re-ignite the confidence that hair loss robbed you of and allow your true self to shine once again.
