What Is A Hair Replacement System?

So you've noticed some thinning but it's not because of your diet. It's your hair!

You're not alone. 2/3 of American men will experience some degree of hair loss by the age of thirty-five, and by the age of 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. According to American Hair Loss Association approximately twenty five percent of men who suffer with male pattern baldness begin the painful process before they reach the age of twenty-one. Hair loss isn't just happening to men either, women make up a significant percentage of American hair loss sufferers. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 40% of women also have visible hair loss by the time they reach the age of 40.

Hair Replacement Systems Conceal Thinning Areas of the Scalp

The hair replacement experts at Suisse Natural Hair Salon offer a simple solution, it's called a hair replacement system and it works to conceal all of the above mentioned causes of hair loss. What is a hair replacement system exactly? It's exactly what it says it is, it's a "system" that "replaces the hair you're missing". And how does a hair replacement system work to conceal hair loss? It works by strategically attaching new hairs to the hair you'll never lose. What does that mean? In most cases of hair loss in both men and women, not all the hair is lost. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but again in most cases there's only a certain area of the scalp that loses hair.

Above are two diagrams of typical hair loss scenarios showing that even in the final stages of hair loss, both women and men still retain hair on a large portion of the scalp. It is with this remaining hair that a hair replacement system can be attached. The hair replacement system will then conceal the area of the scalp where hair has been lost. It's as simple as that.

What is a hair replacement system made of?

Suisse Natural Hair Salon offers hair replacement systems that are custom made with a very fine mesh. So fine, that it virtually disappears when it touches the scalp. Suisse blends natural human hair into the mesh and then attaches the mesh to the existing hair.

How does Suisse attach hair replacement systems?

Unlike other hair replacement processes, only Suisse offers the unique Invisible Attachment™ technique. Instead of weaving or glueing the hair replacement system, Suisse's hair replacement technique is performed using a very fine monofilament which allows the scalp to breathe. The results are almost impossible to detect and best of all, you won't feel like you're wearing something on your head. Suisse hair replacement systems are very light weight and are only used to cover the thinning areas.
