Are you new to the hair-wearing world? Welcome! Navigating your way around the extensive virtual aisles of hair replacement systems and hair care products can be daunting at first. However, you're in the right place if you don’t know where to start, so congratulations on making it this far! We’re here to make your first few steps that bit easier by filling you in on some men’s hair system basics. So, get comfortable and buckle up as we take you on a virtual hair system tour!

First Stop: Pre-Made Hair Systems

The first step when buying a hair system is deciding whether you want a pre-made (also known as stock) hair system or a custom hair system. Each has pros and cons, depending on your personal needs, lifestyle, and preferred look. 

Pre-made hair systems are pre-manufactured using popular base materials. These are a convenient, cost-effective option and are great if you’re experimenting with hairpieces for the first time to get a sense of what you like before committing to a custom hair system. A wide range of stock hair systems for men and women offer different lengths, densities, colors, and styles. Base sizes typically range from 7” x 9” and 8” x 10”, though our motto is ‘if in doubt, go bigger’ as they can be easily trimmed down to size if needed. 

One big plus for stock hair systems is you can expect to have it as little as seven days from the time of ordering. Advent Hair offers an unconditional 100% satisfaction guarantee, so you can return it if you’re unhappy with how it looks.

Next Stop: Custom Hair Systems

Custom wigs are the most popular option amongst our customers because they offer a high level of personalization and an undetectable natural look. Custom wigs are made to fit the exact dimensions of your head. They allow you to choose from an extensive selection of hair colors, densities, styles, and front and base materials so you can design your dream hair. You can even detail specific, fine-tuned features that will make your hairpiece unique to you. 

The only “downside” to custom hairpieces is that they typically take up to seven weeks to build and are more expensive than stock hairpieces. We say “downside” because it isn’t really. You’ll probably be surprised by the low hair system cost of a custom wig at Advent Hair, so don’t knock it til you check it. You can get a good idea of how much it will cost over on our pricing tool.

Pssst… Don’t let our amazingly low prices concern you—the quality of the product matches (if not exceeds) those from salons and hair clubs. We offer a lower price because we are a factory direct distributor. That means we eliminate the extra expenses of salons and the middlemen that lead to costly markups. That way, you can save substantial money by ordering your hair replacement systems directly from the factory. 

Anyway, where were we? Oh, yes! Custom hair systems for men. We offer two types: top-of-head or full wig. The top-of-head-style hairpieces are also known as ‘toupees.’ They are mainly intended to cover up those unwanted bald patches that slowly creep up on us with age. Full wigs, on the other hand, cover the entire head.
