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

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.
Yes, BUT 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.
It shouldn't. The key in preventing the system
from lifting up at all is having it made to conform
correctly to the shape of your head. That is one
reason a custom system is superior to a stock
hairpiece.
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 system to a reputable
stylist to have it cut in on your head. Clean your
system 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.
Extended wearers average 4-6 weeks,
depending on how fast your own hair grows, 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 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 and stock hairpieces?
Stock hair pieces 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
