When people hear the term [hairpiece repair](http://www.adventhair.com/repairs.html), they typically interpret it as a process that repairs the hair.  They think of chemicals, but this is not so.  In the hair replacement industry, technicians refer to this as a 'hair add' for your hairpiece or wig.  In fact, this is the major secret that many people are not aware of. The hair replacement industry doesn't want you to know this in order to make money on expensive new hairpieces or wigs.

**What you should know about your old hair system**

- They can still be repaired at an affordable cost; that’s the truth.  There’s no need to discard those old-looking, damaged systems in favor of buying a brand new one.  A typically requested repair can fix tape tabs, base material tears, torn poly, hair adds and a lot more.

- Now, you may be thinking of the risks; that’s common.  Would it last long? Would it look great like the original?  You can sit back and relax because all your questions or doubts pertaining to hairpiece repair will be answered now.  Whether you want some repair work or a fully customized piece, both are available at your fingertips.  You can be sure of a great outcome and durability that will last long. 

- If your perfect hairpiece which is full of hair has a small tear, and you’re confused on what to do with it, bring it to a [hairpiece repair](http://www.adventhair.com/repairs.html) specialist and you’ll be amazed with the result.  It can save you a big amount of money over buying a new one.

- When a hair replacement provider tells you that your hair piece is badly damaged and impossible to fix, don’t believe it because everything is possible with a hairpiece repair.  You can even get some extra hair strands added to your old piece, or some streaks of hi-lights to make it perfect.

- For all of you french lace front wearers, here's a bonus secret for you.  Replace the frayed lace with a brand new lace front, perfectly ventilated with hair to match your existing color & texture.  A brand new hollywood front for a fraction of the cost of a new unit.

Hairpieces can be repaired easily - that is why you don’t have to worry about the price.  If your piece has rips and tears in the base, they can still be patched up easily or repaired.  Some hair can be added to thinning areas, and tape tabs as well as lace fronts can be replaced.  For people who have discarded their old hairpieces that had minimal damage, they would perhaps be disappointed by now after discovering this smart and cost effective idea.  So, next time you're in a situation like this, try [hairpiece repair solutions](http://www.adventhair.com/repairs.html) to save your favorite hair replacement system and your money.
