Differences between Flat Injected Hair Systems and Lift Injected Hair Systems

Introducing Injected Hair Systems

Hair injection is a super undetectable hair ventilation method, or in simpler terms, a way of attaching hair onto the base material to make it look like the hair is growing straight out of your scalp.

The hair is injected into a skin or silicon base. Lace bases cannot be used for the injection method as the lace material contains hundreds of tiny holes which the hairs would fall through. Lace bases are perfect when the hair is being knotted on but injected hair systems do not have any knots at all! This makes them incredibly realistic without losing any durability.

The skin or silicon which is used must also be at least 0.08mm thick or it will be too weak to hold on to the hair’s roots.

The longer the hair, the heavier it will weigh. Using a base which is at least 0.08mm does mean that any length of hair can be used without any risk of the base material tearing. So if you’re looking for a particularly long haired system then ‘injected’ might be best for you!

 

Two Types of Injected Hair System

• Flat Injected
• Lift Injected

Both of these types of hair systems are made following the same steps with only a slight difference. The design of both hair systems is spoken highly of in the global men’s hair system market for being extremely practical and innovative.

 

How are Injected Hair Systems Made?

1. The skin base in placed onto a mold in order to keep the correct shape during hair ventilation (attaching the hair)
2. Hair is injected through the top of the base material using a special needle
3. The base is flipped over the reveal the underside
4. The excess length of hair on the underside is trimmed or shaven down so that all of the hairs are the same length
5. For Flat Injected Hair Systems, the underside hairs are ironed flat so that they lay smoothly against your head(this increases comfort)
6. Ironing is not necessary for Lift Injected Hair Systems as the underside hairs are shaved extremely short(ironing would reduce the volume a lift injected hair system provides)
7. A thin layer of Poly is brushed over the cut down hairs to secure them in place
8. The hair system is placed into an oven until the liquid Poly dries hard and clear

This method works by having every single hair injected into the thin skin base for the sole purpose of presenting an appearance of hair growing out of the scalp. So it is not hard to imagine how natural-looking and undetectable your hair system would appear from all the angles.

Injected Hair Systems: Final Thoughts

So, now you know. Both types of Injected Hair System are perfect if you are wanting an undetectable finish. Flat Injected Hair Systems can be made with a thinner base material therefore looking more realistic but the hair can only be styled in one direction making it perfect for Buzz Cuts & Crew Cuts. Lift Injected Hair Systems require a thicker base material which can look less realistic however the hair itself seems more realistic as it looks as if it is growing straight out of your scalp. They can also be styled in any direction.

By contemplating details such as the thickness of the base and the density of the hair as well as your own personal style choices, you can select a flat injected hair system or lift injected hair system that provides an immaculate, knotless appearance, whilst ensuring durability and comfort.
