In the hair loss industry, we come across two terms – ‘hair replacement’ and ‘hair restoration’ – being used interchangeably. However, these terms are completely different in meaning. Hair replacement means a hair loss solution that does not involve any kind of surgery, while hair restoration is a surgical procedure to repair a thinning hairline. Non-surgical hair replacement can in fact be a great option for those with hair loss issues who do not wish to go through painful surgeries to regain the natural look.

Non-surgical hair replacement is in reality a high-end, artificially constructed hair piece generally referred to as a ‘hair system’. Unlike the hair wigs or hairpieces of the past that were crudely created using heavy materials, today’s hair system is more refined. A better understanding of how the hair grows and the use of modern, lightweight materials in their creation makes the hairpieces of today a sophisticated piece of art. While they are mass produced keeping in mind common hair loss patterns and color gradations, they can also be custom made to suit your individual needs.

Customized non surgical hair replacement systems give a completely natural look to your hairline. Measurements of the pattern and size of hair loss are taken, color tones are matched to your natural hair and the hairpiece is accordingly designed to look like the real thing. Non customized or stock hair systems are sold off the shelf and can be quite an inexpensive non-surgical hair replacement option.

The hair system base is made up of mesh fabric or polymers that are extremely durable. For customized non surgical Hair Transplants San Jose, good quality human hair is attached or injected into the hair base. Color tone, texture, hair density and even the curl and waviness is matched to your normally growing hair.

The most important aspect is the attachment of the non surgical hair replacement system. This is done either using a strong glue-like adhesive, tape or clips. The hair piece is stuck on to your scalp using the adhesive, which is a semi-permanent arrangement. However, this might be unhealthy for you since dead cells and organic debris collected between the scalp and the hairpiece cannot be cleaned regularly, except by visiting the hair technician once in a while.

Attaching the Hair Transplants Orange County system with tape is perhaps a better option. A double sided adhesive tape is used to fix the hairpiece so that it can be removed and reattached as you wish. Although the hairpiece can be cleaned as needed, excessive perspiration can dislodge the tape itself, rendering it useless.

Using metal clips is a practical method of attaching the non surgical hair replacement system. Metal clips on the underside of the hairpiece are attached to your natural hair to keep it in place. It is quite easy to attach and detach the hairpiece as and when you need.

Depending on the type of materials used as well as the craftsmanship of the hair replacement system, the costs vary. Off the shelf hair pieces are relatively less expensive as compared to customized ones for obvious reasons.
