Non Surgical Hair Replacement
Factors that Need Consideration during Non Surgical Hair Replacement
A hair system refers to a type of adopted hair. This can either be a wig or a hairpiece or an extension too. Whatever it be, there are certain factors that need utmost consideration when it comes to the choice of the hair system.
For those of us who suffer from baldness, we tend to rely on these artificial hair systems to get rid of the problem of hair loss. When it comes to the choice of a hair system, there are several factors like the type of hair, the make, the process for attaching it to the human scalp and the like need to be considered and finalized.
Critical Factors
The important points that need to be considered when it comes to non-surgical hair replacement procedures constitute the following:
1. Type of Hair: The first and foremost important point is the type of hair that would be used for the hair system. In case of non surgical hair replacement, either human or animal hair can be used. A combination of both is often used to make it more affordable.
Pros of Using Human Hair
- They look very natural
- They are very comfortable since they are taken from normal human beings.
- They can be of wither Asian or Indian/European origin. Asian hair is affordable and is available at nominal rates while Indian and European hair proves to be costlier.
Cons of Using Human Hair
- The hair systems made out of human hair is usually expensive
- Asian and Indian hair is brittle and can be torn easily
- They loose the shine and color when exposed to sun for extended hours.
2. Process of Manufacture: The hair systems in case of non surgical hair replacement can be hand made or machine made. Customized hand tied wigs are the costliest hair systems available in the market. When it comes to the choice of foundation for the hair system, it can either be mesh or polymer. The polymer type is inexpensive but uncomfortable. The mesh type gives a very natural look and is expensive. It has proven to be comfortable too.
3. Attachment to Scalp: This is yet another factor that is very important in case of non surgical hair replacement. You can either opt for attaching the hair system permanently for 5-6 weeks using glue. You can also get it threaded into your scalp at a salon. Such wigs can only be removed at a salon for cleaning. That is often uncomfortable too. You can also opt for hair systems that can be removed any time and cleaned. They are usually fixed to your scalp using 2 sided tapes. Such hair systems are easy to handle, comfortable to wear but possess the risk of coming out anytime leading to unwanted embarrassments.
4. Cost: In case of non surgical hair replacement procedures, it is important to understand the cost involved before proceeding with the option. Hair systems are available from a few hundred to few thousand dollars. Usually you would require a couple of pieces since you can use one for your daily routine while you can handover the other at the salon for proper maintenance. Opt for the ones that are available at a few thousand dollars for the fact that they have proven to be comfortable and durable than the cheaper ones available in the market.
