What is a Hair System?

A hair system is a non-surgical solution for hair loss or volume enhancement, made from either human or synthetic hair. It offers a temporary, customizable way to cover thinning hair, add volume, or change your style without the need for permanent treatments.

Most of our products come in an 8"x10" size, with some available in 7"x9", meeting the needs of over 90% of our customers. They can also be trimmed to the desired size after purchase.
