Wigs offer an ideal solution for those suffering from severe hair loss due to chemotherapy or radiation treatments or medically related hair loss such as Alopecia Areata or Alopecia Totalis. Wigs are also great to use simply as a fashion statement or method of convenience should you not always have time to style your hair. Wigs can be made of either human or synthetic hair. They can be machine made or hand-tied and can vary in price and quality.
A hair replacement system adds any amount of fullness, length and body to your existing hair. It is an extension of your own hair and will feel and move naturally. It is 100% human hair and can be worn daily or permanently attached. If you want to take the piece on and off you can choose a clip or tape method. If you want the hair to be permanently attached so you need not to remove it during a shower, bedtime, etc. you can choose a bonded method. This method does require maintenance every 4-6 weeks but is great if you have a busy, active lifestyle.
