Does a Total Cover Plus hair system work for everybody?

We believe that our hair systems are suitable for most people with hair loss. However, there are many individual factors that can affect the hair system and these can differ considerable between people. Therefore there aren’t clear categories that can define how suitable our hair system is for any given person. Below you can find out more about the three most important factors.

The best thing in general is to go for a free initial consultation at one of our partner studios during which the stylist will assess your hair loss and determine if our hair system is suitable for you.

Hair loss:

The less hair you have the better the hair system will work for you. Any hair underneath the hair system keeps growing. The more hair growth you have underneath the hair system the more hair could potentially push up and subsequently cause the bond to be less effective. Also, the larger the bald area, the stronger the bond, as any tension on the hair system can be spread out more widely Therefore the rule of thumb is: The less hair the better.

This doesn’t mean that you have to be completely bald. It simply gives you an indication of how the hair system works best.

For people with diffuse or patchy hair loss or fine hair, such as you would see with female pattern baldness or alopecia areata, a hair integration system may be more suitable.

Sweat:

The PH level of your sweat (or in other words: how acidic your sweat is) is an important factor in terms of how long the bond will last. The more acidic your sweat the faster it will affect the bond. The overall amount of sweat also has an effect.

Skin:

The oilier the skin the more it affects the bond. We can also only apply the system to healthy skin, so if you have a rash, a wound or any other skin issues on your head, we won’t apply the hair system until your scalp has healed.

Please keep in mind that for only around 1 in 10,000 people our hair system is not suitable due to acidic/excess sweat and oily/damaged/sensitive skin. So generally this is something most people should not worry about.
