Hair Replacement For Men: What are my options?

Men's Hair Replacement Choices

Men’s Hair Replacement Choices

Whether caused by age, genetics or medications, hair loss can be a frustrating condition for men to face, affecting their confidence or social life. Hair loss patients often turn to hair replacement solutions, such as those provided by Hair Club for Men, and other hair loss consultants to determine which ones are right for them.

Before seeking hair replacement treatment, see your primary physician or a dermatologist to determine the cause of your hair loss, which could range from medical to a side-effect of medication or simply genetics that causes male pattern baldness. Your doctor can also tell you whether your hair is strong enough to undergo hair replacement treatment. Be sure to ask if your doctor has treated other hair loss patients and what kinds of treatment were effective for them. For hair transplants, only physicians or hair transplant professionals can recommend candidates for surgical treatment.

After identifying the cause of hair loss and the degree of loss, via the Norwood-Hamilton Scale of Baldness, decide what you want your hair replacement treatment to do for you: from preventing further hair loss, filling in bald spots or completely changing your look through hair transplants.

After consultation on your options, next is a treatment plan. Hair restoration treatment falls under three main categories: surgical, non-surgical and topical.

1. Surgical. Hair restoration surgery or hair transplants, is a permanent solution for hair loss. Today’s advanced surgical technology allows for hair to be transplanted as it would grow naturally. During surgery, individual follicles of the donor’s existing hair, located either on the sides or bottom of the head, are transplanted to balding or thinning sections of hair. The advantage of hair restoration surgery is it provides quick yet permanent results for hair loss patients.

2. Non-surgical. As opposed to hair restoration surgery, hair replacement is non-surgical. One non-surgical option is the Hair Club’s Bio-Matrix Strand-by-Strand process, which fills in your existing hair with real human hair. The Bio-Matrix solution provides men a way to re-create the look and feel of their real hair if they are balding significantly. This option is also suited for those who have bald patches and want to increase the density of their hair. With hair replacement professionals adding human hair strand-by-strand to your scalp, the hair replicates the pattern of your natural hair, blending in seamlessly. Once hair is replaced, its longevity will depend on how well you maintain it.
 
3. Topical. The last hair restoration option is to apply topical medications used for hair loss treatment, which include Minoxidil. Hair loss medications do not work for all patients and will stop their effectiveness once patients discontinue their use.

In addition to these treatment options, other choices for preventing further hair loss include LaserComb and Extreme Hair Therapy (EXT), which are both hair loss preventative measures. A clinically-tested and FDA-approved, LaserComb is an instrument that uses low-level laser photo therapy to safely stop hair loss and stimulate hair follicle growth. The other hair loss prevention measure is EXT, which combines the topical hair loss treatment Minoxidil with cleansers and nutritional supplements to strengthen hair. Both LaserComb and EXT are inexpensive ways to slow or prevent hairlines from receding.

HairPiece: Proper Care and Cleaning

Proper Hairpiece Cleaning

Proper Hairpiece Cleaning

Hair pieces and wigs are made with either human or synthetic hair and the methods used in their care and cleaning are dependent on which type you have.  
Synthetic hair conveniently does not require much maintenance, nor is it susceptible to discoloration like human hair is.  However, human hair looks more natural and responds better to leave-in styling products.

Both types of hair have similar maintenance requirements.

  •           Store them in a cool, dry environment that is free of dust.
  •           Wash them with cold or warm water only, never hot.
  •          Store them on a mannequin head or similar sized object to maintain their shape & durability.

 It is important to handle hair pieces gently to ensure that they last for a long time. Washing is the most basic and essential part of caring for and maintaining hair pieces. Your lifestyle and habits determine how often your hair piece needs to be washed. If you perspire a lot or use multiple hair care products, you may need to wash it more often than someone who does neither of these things.

Cleaning Synthetic Hair Pieces

1.     Submerge the hair piece in a sink filled with cold or luke warm water and an appropriate synthetic cleaner like CC2000.  Gently agitate and remove.  Note:  It is much easier if you wash the synthetic hairpiece while off your head.

2.     Rinse the synthetic hair under warm running water until all residue from the cleaner has been removed.

3.     Use a towel to gently dab the synthetic hair.  Avoid trying to wring the water out. 

4.     A spray conditioner for synthetic hair should be applied at this point.  Silicon K is an excellent choice.  Place the hair piece on a mannequin head to air dry.  A hair dryer can be used, but only on a cool setting.

5.     While the synthetic hair is still damp, spray a little Silicon K on it, then brush gently into your preferred style. 


Washing Human Hair Hair Pieces

1.     Brush the hair thoroughly but gently to remove any tangles.  Human hair is very susceptible to tangles.  Note:  A human hairpiece can be shampooed while wearing or unattached – your choice.
 
2.     Wet under flowing water from the shower head or sink.  Being careful to not tangle the hair

3.     Gently massage shampoo formulated specifically for hair pieces into the hair, then rinse to remove the shampoo.   A little shampoo is best.

4.     Apply conditioner to the hair in the same manner that you applied the shampoo, by gently spreading it in with your fingers. Rinse the conditioner out and gently dab the hair with a towel to dry it.   A hair dryer can be used as well. Place the hair piece on a mannequin head to dry.

5. Spray a quality leave-in conditioner to keep the hair smelling fresh and less prone to tangles.  

Be sure to check out Advent Hair for the necessary cleaning and maintenance supplies.

Hairpieces: What should a Women Consider?

Woman's Hairpiece Choices

Woman’s Hairpiece Choices

Choosing the right women’s hair piece for you can be challenging. By starting with a few thoughts about your lifestyle and your hair loss situation, you can narrow down the choices and choose high-quality hair you will be proud to wear. For starters, strive to buy from a company that will work with you to find exactly what you want by providing the highest quality for the best price. Advent Hair has years of experience working directly with female customers and seeking out the most modern technology possible for beautiful results.

Here are a few things women should consider when they are ready to choose hair replacement options.

  • If you tend to like more exotic styles or curly hair, you may want to consider buying more than one type of hair piece. At Advent Hair, we keep prices down and quality high by working directly with technologically advanced factories using the latest techniques to build beautiful hair replacements. Owning several hair style choices will save you time with daily styling and allow you to easily dress up your look for those special events.
  • When it comes to the hair color, do you want to lean toward the conservative side or maybe that wild red shade to kick it up a notch? For a more natural looking women’s hairpiece that will flatter you day after day, choose hair colors that blend with your skin tone. Advent Hair has experts who can guide you in choosing a color that will flatter you beautifully. 
  • If you are suffering from hair loss and intend to wear a hair replacement option daily, it should be durable and easy to attach. It also should be easy to care for and fit your scalp perfectly.

So you can trust the hair piece you buy from Advent Hair will be custom built to your exact standards, both in fit and appearance, as well as comfortableness.

When you shop with Advent Hair, you will get a top quality women’s hair replacement that you will be able to easily maintain. If your hair replacement is made of real human hair, then you simply care for it as you would your natural hair. Daily washing is probably not required. Choose a gentle shampoo & conditioner. 

Advent Hair is committed to providing its female customers with great service, products they will love, and affordable prices. Ultimately, our goal is to be a partner you can count on to help you feel confident and look beautiful.

Hairpiece: How to Attach Securely using Hairpiece Tape

Using Hairpiece Tape

Using Hairpiece Tape

If you are wearing a hair piece, you can easily attach it to your scalp with properly selected toupee tape. Tapes are available for extended wear as well as daily wear and both types will provide the security that you are looking for. Using the proper tape will provide you with the security of knowing that no one will know that you are wearing a hair piece. To ensure a strong attachment, you should prepare your scalp properly.

Scalp Preparation

Remove any remaining residue of hair tape adhesive from the scalp using a citrus or alcohol-based adhesive remover. Rub the area vigorously until all traces of the residue are removed.  Shampoo your own hair and hair piece thoroughly.  You should also remove hair from your head where the tape will be positioned. Use an electric screen razor, if necessary. Optionally, you could apply Scalp Protector to your scalp to remove any remaining perspiration.

Attach Hair Piece Securely Using Hair Piece Tape


Step 1:
 Remove the paper from one side of the tape and affix the sticky side to the polyurethane tape tab on the underside of your hair piece.  If the pre-cut contours don’t align with the curvature of your base, you’ll need to trim them to fit more precisely. Try to place the tape as close as possible to the outer edge, being careful to not extend beyond the edges. Press the tape down firmly to ensure complete contact. Once this is done, remove the backing of the strips to expose the sticky side of the tape.

Step 2: Now place the hair piece carefully onto your head. Optionally, you could apply Positioning Spray to your scalp to allow you time to gently slide it into the proper position. Once you are pleased with the alignment, apply pressure to the outer edges to ensure that the tape has solid contact to your scalp. Now you can style your hair as per your liking.

Step 3: Apply some leave-in conditioner to your hair piece to allow the hair to stay supple and soft.  Conditioners are available for human and synthetic fiber, so choose what is best suited for your hair type.
