Hair Transplant

Now that we have discussed in detail what hair replacement systems are and how they work, it is important to address another form of hair loss solution. A hair transplant is a surgical replacement system that needs to be performed by a surgeon. It is a cosmetic procedure performed under anesthetic to treat baldness permanently. Some men who experience balding or hair thinning can be frustrated with their looks and want a permanent solution. They want to go back to the time they had a full set of thick hair and are not interested in a temporary fix. With the continuous advancement in medicine and technology hair transplant has come a long way. Its method has continued to improve over time and become more and more popular with men who want hair in the areas they are experiencing baldness.

Hair transplants date back to the late 1930s. Hair transplant aims to restore hair growth to areas of the scalp with scarce hair or absent hair growth. Hair transplant involves harvesting healthy hair follicles from an area of the donor’s head that has thick hair and transplanting them to another area where the follicles are no longer visible and hair is no longer growing. Follicles are located in the scalp and contain active cells that are responsible for new hair growth.

After defining and discussing the hair replacement system and hair transplant it may leave one even more confused about which is the better option. Below we have detailed the pros and cons of a hair replacement system and a hair transplant to give one a better understanding when choosing the best hair solution for you.

 

PROS

• After recovery and once the hair begins to grow there is minimal maintenance. The transplanted hair becomes the same as the rest of your hair and you can do your usual routine.
• There is no additional cost of investing in extra maintenance or replacing hair transplants as this is a one-time procedure providing a permanent solution for hair growth.
• Uses their own hair. As the hair is extracted from the person’s scalp where thicker hair grows. Once the transplanted hair finally grows out naturally, it blends with the rest of the hair. So no need to worry about texture or color not matching with your own hair.
• The fear of people knowing is gone unless you tell someone, nobody would know you had a hair transplant. There is no fear of displacing your hair system or someone pulling the hair.
• For most, it’s a one-time investment with forever results therefore affordable in the long run.
• No longer any use of toupees or wigs.

 

CONS

• Initial high cost of the surgery. Can cost between $5,000 to $25,000.
• Infecting of hair follicles, scalp swelling, itching
• The effectiveness of the surgical hair transplant is limited to the number of survival hair follicles grafted on the individual’s scalp. The industry-recognized success rate is 60% -70% for men’s hair transplants. Besides the number of available hair grafts limits the outcome of the surgery as well. It can only distribute existing hair if a majority of your scalp has viable follicles. If not there is an extremely low chance of success and a surgeon may not find you a good candidate for the procedure.
• It’s a time-consuming procedure that will require multiple sittings. Recovery time can be between 1 to 2 weeks.
• Scarring is unavoidable. It can cause significant scarring and raised marks on the scalp. This may leave one feeling insecure during the healing period.
• Have to do research and find a reputable hair clinic and surgeon. You cannot afford to go cheap and take shortcuts as this is like any surgery is a risky option.
• If hair follicles are implanted facing the wrong direction or move during the healing process the hair will end up looking unnatural.
• Hair transplant only provides hair growth solutions where the donor’s hair was transplanted. It becomes a problem if you start holding in another area. This means you will need another hair transplant surgery to add more hair to the area.
• It may take weeks to fully heal. One cannot touch the area, brush hair for a month, or until the doctor gives the okay. You cannot work out for 2 to 3 weeks or you may have inflammation and lose sensation around the surgical sites.
• All surgeries come with a certain possibility of risks involved. Some of these risks include; severe scarring, nerve damage, or unforeseen complications.
• There are no instant results. It will take 6 to 12 months to see results or any new growth.
• Hair is shaved around the area of the hair transplant. With a long wait time before we see any growth, it will look very unnatural if the head is not fully shaven. You may need a hair replacement system to cover the unusual spot until the growth catches up with the rest of the hair.
• Hair loss might continue even after hair transplant surgery.

How Much Does A Hair Replacement System Cost?

We have discussed in detail what you need to know and understand why the hair system is a great investment for men who are experiencing balding. Now one of the biggest questions is how much a hair system for men costs. For those who have no idea how much it costs, here is a price breakdown. There is a vast number of hair replacement systems manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers who sell hair systems at very contrasting prices. So how does one strike the balance of acquiring a high-quality hair replacement system for men that will feel like one of the best purchases they ever made this year?

There is plenty that goes into the hair replacement that determines how it is priced and other factors that will cost the wearer during their wearing period.

 

Human Hair and Synthetic Hair- Earlier in this guideline, we have discussed several times the many advantages of opting for a human hair replacement system. This is in comparison to synthetic hair that has many limitations from styling, moisture retention, and its lifespan. Human hair replacements are worth it from hair materials that are ethically sourced, the intense labor of acquiring hair cleaning it, and the wearer’s ability to have styling, versatility, healthy moisturized hair, and a longer lifespan. So it’s no surprise that a human hair system will cost significantly higher than synthetic hair.

 

Stock hair– Stock pieces are ready-to-wear pieces. They come in standard base materials, density, style, color. The manufacturers can dispatch the hair replacement system to their clients within a week.

 

Custom hair– Are hair replacement systems constructed to specific requirements made by the wearer. So much work goes into creating a custom piece. This is because the manufacturer has to perfectly match every intricate detail, measurement, color match, style, density matching in creating the perfect custom hair system for every custom order made. It’s an intense process but very rewarding for the wearer. The wearer will get to enjoy a hair replacement system that will be perfect for them with a seamless natural look and undetectable.  From consultation to production, custom hair systems for men can take 8  to 12  weeks. All this work and precision make custom hairpieces pricier than stock hairpieces.

Base material -The base material which is the foundational step of constructing any good hair replacement system determines the majority of the toupee costs. The lace base is the most expensive base material out of all the base materials. A lot of work goes into its production and from creating the base material and skilled technicians knotting hair onto the lace base to creating a top-notch hair system.

 

Area coverage -The size of surface coverage needed to cover baldness will dictate the price of the hair replacement for men. An individual may need partial coverage or full coverage. One can’t afford to try cost save money and end up with a hair replacement system that is not fully covering baldness.

 

Where are you getting your hair system from – Not all hair is equal and you should be cautious where you get your hair replacement system from. You might decide to opt for a very cheap hairpiece that will end up being frizzy,  uncomfortable, itchy, and very unnatural looking. Do not risk it.  It is very easy to find established manufacturers who have vast experience in creating high-quality hair systems. The amount of work, time, effort, high-quality material used, and services rendered should be factored in on why their costs might be higher.

How Long Does A Hair Replacement System Last?

One of the biggest concerns for men who want to buy a hair replacement system is how long it will last. They are concerned about covering their balding spots or thinning hair throughout the year. A hair replacement system is a temporary solution that has a limited period. There are many things to consider and that can be done to preserve the hair system for men as long as possible. You want the hair system to not only last but to look good serving its purpose throughout its duration. What to factor in that influences the lifespan of a hair replacement system.

 

• Quality of hair
• The base material
• Maintenance
• Styling
• Storage

 

1.Quality of Hair

The most essential element to take into consideration in purchasing a hair replacement system for men is its quality. The quality will dictate how long you get to enjoy the hair system. With the very high demand for hair replacement systems for men, the wearer should be able to enjoy their high-quality hair system.

Let’s breakdown quality into two key elements ;

• Type of hair
• Where to buy the hair replacement system

 

Where to Buy –The wearer to take away precautions necessary when it comes to acquiring a hair replacement system. There are thousands of vendors globally selling hairpieces for men. It is possible to get a  cheap hair replacement, however, it will not last long and it will not have the seamless natural look you want.

Low-quality systems will not last long because they will damage quickly or are not well constructed as the quality of the material will not provide needed durability. Find a reputable hair system manufacturer who specializes in their construction. They have dedicated hair replacement systems that use high-quality hair, materials, and proper technique in the construction of systems that will last for a longer time.

 

Type of Hair –The type of hair strands used for hair replacement has a remarkable effect on how long it will last. Human hair is made from real hair. The hair is sourced from donors who have long thick shiny healthy hair. The hair is taken through an entire process of cleaning it, undergoing acid treatment to create a fantastic human hair replacement system that will last for a long time.

Human hair takes in moisture well and with the use of oil, you can seal in the moisture to keep hair strand hydrated longer. When the hair replacement is well hydrated it will remain soft, shiny, and remain luscious that extending the hair system lifespan.

Synthetic hair is made from a different blend of plastic that mimics the look of human hair. Synthetic hair is very affordable however it does not last a long time. Made of plastic fibers means it does not hold moisture very well therefore gets frizzy quickly,  tangles up fast.  reducing hair replacement for men made of synthetic hair shorter.

 

2. Base Material

When it comes to the construction of the hair replacement hair system, the type of base used dictates the longevity of the hairpiece. The base materials are made from different materials with some very durable and others are very delicate.

Lace- Provides amazing lightness and breathability. The lace material is delicate so it can tear easily. A lace base will last 1 to 3 months.

Mono- Is the most durable base material and can withstand damage. This sturdy material will last 6  to  9 months.

Skin – It is made of the clear or skin color material for that extremely invisible hairline. The lifespan of the skin base hair system depends on the thinness of the poly layer, for instance, Ultra Thin Skin Hair Systems generally last between 1 month, while Poly-Base Hair Systems generally last between 3-6 months.

 

3. Maintenance

Taking care of your hair replacement system should be a priority if you want the hair replacement system to last you for a long time. Its upkeep will prevent any potential damage and further preserve the integrity of the hair system. Do not neglect daily care for your toupee as this will reduce its lifespan by months.

 

4. Styling

You may be doing all the right things to the hair replacement system but when it comes to styling you are unintentionally causing damage to the hairpiece.

• Spend minimal time on styling or combing hair Avoid gels and waxes.
• Use a leave-in conditioner before styling.
• Use a detangling brush or a wide-tooth comb for detangling hair.
• Be gentle during styling.
• The use of heat styling tools can cause a toll on the hair. Heat in excess can damage the hair replacement system and reduce its lifespan. Avoid heat as much as possible. If you must use heat, use a blow dryer on a cool setting and use a heat protectant.
• Too much sun exposure can shorten the hair stem for men’s lifespan. Use a hair product with SPF, or wear a hat when staying outdoor for a long period.

 

5. Storage

Making sure your hair replacement system is properly kept when not in use is integral for its longevity.

• Keep the hair replacement system from sunlight.
• Use a wig stand.
• Manufacturers’ packaging that was used during transportation to the wearer should never be thrown away. Use that to properly store the hair replacement system. The packaging is sturdy and will keep the system well protected.

How To Maintain A Hair Replacement System?

To enjoy the health, shine, and density of your high-quality hair replacement system, maintenance is essential. As we have explained in this guideline, getting a hair replacement system is an investment. When you spend your hard-earned money on a hair system for men you want to enjoy it and keep it looking good throughout its lifespan.

It is a new and exciting experience getting to enjoy your hair replacement system. Being able to live your normal life, swim, sweat, gym, or a vacation with your hair system for men so you need to do everything to make sure the hair replacement system looks good throughout the entire time. One needs to maintain the hair replacement system regularly. The biggest objectives for maintaining your hair system for men are to prevent damage and prevent hair breakage.

Hair systems are durable but also delicate, so one can damage the constriction of the base material if not properly taken care of. As much as hair replacement looks and feels like bio hair, the biggest difference is of course that as the system deteriorates over time, no new growth happens. Compare to naturally growing hair, hair system are prone to damages. Any damage to a hair system is mostly irreversible. If the hair replacement system is not well maintained, the hair will shed and tangle,  hair is fragile and your hair replacement system will lose its form and it will defeat its whole purpose of making the wearer look good. So how do you maintain your hair system for men?

 

1. Moisture

Moisture is the golden standard for healthy hair, natural hair, or a hair system for men. We all know how great hair feels when it is moisturized.  The hair system for men tends to dry out as it is not growing from the scalp and lacks sebum. It is therefore crucial for the wearer to have a weekly routine to ensure the hair system is well hydrated. When the hairpiece is not properly moisturized, it is dry, brittle, and weak tangles easily. Hair strands will eventually break off.

 

How to incorporate moisture in the hair system for men ;

• Use recommended well-formulated rinse-out conditioners specifically for the hair system to be used after shampoo to restore moisture.
• Use deep conditioners regularly to hydrate, repair, strengthen, and maintain the overall health of the hair strands of the toupee.
• Use leave-in conditioners to style hair for added hydration to the hair replacement system.

 

2. Clean The Hair Replacement System

Washing both the hair system and your hair is an important step in maintaining the hair system. One wants to get rid of dirt, oil,  product build-up, and adhesive residue.  When the hair knots are clogged, bacterias will corrode hair strands, leave the hair knots brittle, and are easy to break. This will cause hair shedding and eventually, compromise hair system natural apperance and lifespan.

Be careful with the shampoo used. Go for shampoos recommended by toupee manufacturers that do not have harsh ingredients. Avoid shampoo with sulfates, paraben, sodium chloride,  propylene, mineral oil, diethanolamine, chemical fragrance, synthetic colors, dimethicone, or alcohol. Aim to wash your hair weekly. Once or not more than twice a week. Do not overwash hair or this can weaken the hair system.

Use warm water and avoid hot water as this can damage the base material and the hair not damage the outer cuticle layer leaving the hair dry, frizzy, and dull.

 

3. Oils

Hair replacement systems do not get the sebum protection natural hair does so hair tends to be naturally dry. There is no sebum production for that reason the hair strands cannot be lubricated,  protected, and nourished. The use of oils is a great way to supplement the absent natural oil to retain moisture. Use light oils on the hair replacement system to lock in the moisture coat the hair strands. Do not let the oil get to the base to prevent damage and maintain the hair system. Focus only on the ends and the midshaft of the hair. Always use oils on moisturized hair.

 

4. Detangling

Avoid hair matting at all costs. You want to ensure the hair replacement system is tangle-free to prevent the hair from breaking. Hair strands lost cannot be rescued by new growth so it is vital to take your time and be gentle when detangling. Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush recommended by the toupee manufacturer for detailing the system. Hair is the weakest when wet so it is recommended to brush hair before washing. Try removing tangles gently before washing your hair. Moisturizing conditioners are great to add slippage to ease the detangling process. Avoid excess combing.

 

5. Sunlight

The sunlight can be detrimental to hair when it comes to damaging the hair system for men.  Overexposure to the sun can dry out the hair replacement system and can cause damage. The strong UV rays when they make contact with the oxygen molecules that are on the hair replacement from the air turn the hairpiece to an orange/ reddish color. This is a process known as oxidation. It is a process that happens over time gradually damaging the protective outer layer of the hair shaft.

 To maintain the hair replacement system  from the sun;

• Limit your time exposed to direct sunlight.
• Use a leave-in conditioner or product with SPF.
• Wear a hat.

 

6. Protecing Hair From Friction

A lot of hair breakage is caused by friction which damages the hair system for men. Friction can happen mostly at home rubbing against a surface and especially at night. We spend a third of our day sleeping, so it is crucial to have a hair replacement system care routine to maintain the hair replacement system. Your cotton pillowcases increase friction and absorb all the moisture from hair replacements. The hair is left dry as it rubs against the fabric. Additionally,  friction can cause damage to the base material of the hair replacement for men. Invest in a silk or satin pillowcase that will protect the toupee and even preserve your style. Keep the system hydrated and minimize tangling. Do not sleep on wet hair.

 

7. Get A Hair System For Men Specialist

Many men may find maintaining the hair replacement system too much work, effort, or time. Maintenance is absolutely necessary, so if you cannot do it on your own, get a hair expert who specializes in handling the hair system. Let them structure a routine to take care of and maintain the system.

 

8. Applying And Remving The Hair Replacement System

Securing your hair replacement system with toupee glue or toupee tape is an integral step in letting the wearer fully enjoy their hairpiece. They do not have to worry about the hair replacement system falling off. Depending on the type of adhesive used whether it be for the long term or short term it’s important to take off that not only is the hair replacement system thoroughly cleaned but the adhesive in the residue is all removed. You can use a solvent remover and clean the hair system. This will make sure the base material is not damaged.

 

9. Storage

Part of maintaining the hair replacement system is how it is kept when not being worn. You want to store it well to prevent any tangles from forming. Also, the style is preserved for the next wear. If your hair system is customized to a particular style, you will need them to help maintain the style.

 

10. Swimming

If you swim a lot, planning a vacation using a hair replacement system needs to be taken care of. salty water from the ocean and chlorine water from swimming pools can cause damage to the hair replacement system. They can slowly cause damage to the hair replacement system leaving it dull and brittle.  To protect the hairpiece;

• Wear a swimming cap
