Categories of Hair Prostheses Available:

The hair prostheses are adjustable to each person's size and come in three categories.

• Machine made - A cap made by a machine is a prosthesis that has the hair sewn into a smooth elastic wefting or woven material cap. Due to its comprehensive coverage and the cap's adaptability to different head sizes, this type of prosthesis can accommodate people with existing hair that is thin, fine, or spotty. However, there are quality restrictions with this cost-effective prosthesis. Machines are used to manufacture a lot of the wigs sold in department shops and via mail order.
• Hand-tied pre-designed - Hand tied pre-designed systems include a sturdy, comfortable foundation and hand-tied knots with 3-5 strands of hair per knot that are very closely spaced apart. Hairstyles on hand-tied prosthesis are more streamlined and compact. As a result, the hair looks more natural and fits better and more comfortably. Its design permits a range of styles, and the color scheme offers a more unified appearance. 
• Full custom - A hairstylist will take precise measurements to create a full custom prosthesis. One's shape and contour can be replicated in a custom mold of the head for a perfect fit. These systems offer a wide range of alternatives, such as size, color, and materials that may all be changed to meet a particular requirement. There are numerous style options because of its overall adaptability.

Learn About Hair Prostheses

A hair prosthesis is a device that can be customized to fit an individual's head shape and their individual needs. It typically comes with an adjustable elastic band, liquid medical adhesive, or specialized tapes to secure it to the head. The prosthesis' lifespan depends on factors such as lifestyle, occupation, and maintenance. Hand-tied prostheses are typically more durable than machine-made wefts.

The cost of a prosthesis depends on its specifications, size, attachment methods, materials, and service. Customized prosthesis prices vary depending on the individual's needs and preferences. Headbands with hair attached offer a quick change to one's look, while turbans, hats, scarves, and headbands with or without bangs offer various looks. Volumizing solutions are natural, safe, and undetectable for women with fine thin hair, while partials are available for those with hair loss in specific areas. Hair integrations blend an individual's own hair with a system to create fullness, volume, or length, making it suitable for those with thinning hair or hair loss.

In conclusion, the choice of prosthesis depends on an individual's preferences, hair loss, and security needs. A hair professional can provide guidance and recommendations to ensure the best possible outcome. Call today to schedule a FREE consultation and let our professional help you find the right fit.
