What is a Hair System?

Hair loss is something millions of people experience - often earlier than expected. Whether you're in your 20s or 50s, it can take a toll on your confidence, identity, and day-to-day life. But here’s the good news: hair systems are changing the game for men who want a natural-looking, non-surgical, and affordable way to get their hair back.

In this post, we’ll break down exactly what a hair system is, how it works, and why it might be a better solution than a hair transplant - especially if you're looking for immediate, realistic results without surgery or downtime.

So, What Is a Hair System?

A hair system is a modern, non-surgical solution to hair loss that involves a custom-made unit (also known as a hairpiece) that’s carefully fitted, styled, and blended with your natural hair. Think of it as a second scalp - one that looks and feels completely natural.

Today’s hair systems are lightweight, breathable, and virtually undetectable, especially when fitted by an experienced specialist. They’re a far cry from the old-fashioned wigs or obvious-looking hairpieces of the past.

How Does a Hair System Work?

Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

Consultation: Your hair loss pattern, lifestyle, and preferences are assessed.
Hair Selection: The hair (human hair) is matched in colour, density and texture.
Custom Fit: The custom Hair System is sized to perfectly fit your head.
Attachment: The system is secured using a safe water-based adhesive - no surgery involved. (See here for more details on how our systems stay secure)
Styling: It’s cut, shaped, and styled to blend perfectly with your natural hair and desired look.

The result? A natural, full head of hair that moves, feels, and behaves like your own.

What Happens After Your First Fit?

Once your hair system is fitted, styled, and you're walking out with a renewed sense of confidence - what's next?

Hair systems require regular maintenance, but the process is straightforward and part of a natural rhythm that quickly becomes second nature.

Here’s what to expect:

Regular Maintenance (Every 3–5 Weeks):

Your hair system will need a refit every 3–5 weeks. As your natural hair grows and adhesive wears down, we’ll:

Remove and clean the system and your scalp
Reapply adhesive for a fresh, secure hold
Tidy up your natural regrowth and restyle as needed

These sessions keep your system looking flawless and feeling comfortable.

Replacements (Every 3–6 Months):

Most hair systems last 3 to 6 months (sometimes even longer), depending on your lifestyle, and care. When it’s time for a replacement, we’ll:

Get you a fresh new custom system
Match it seamlessly to your style and hairline
Fit and style it for a smooth, natural transition

💡 Can You Maintain It at Home?

Some clients learn home maintenance overtime, but we recommend regular visits to keep your look sharp and undetectable early on until you feel comfortable with handling your system.

So, Is a Hair System Right for You?

If you:

Want a natural, undetectable look
Prefer a non-surgical approach
Need instant results
Have been told you’re not a candidate for a transplant
Are looking for an affordable way to feel confident again

…then a hair system might be the perfect solution for you.
