    Lordhair Hair Density

    Correct Density For A More Natural Appearance

    Lordhair

      Why hair density is important?

      Choosing the correct density is one of the most essential factors in ensuring your hair system looks unbelievably natural. It is pointless investing in a hair system that is obvious and detectable as a result of choosing the wrong density and the simple truth is that an unnatural-looking hair system can be noticed from far away. One of the main reasons why most other hair systems are so easily detectable is a result of unnaturally thick hair.

      At Lordhair we offer different densities to suit every need. This gives you the flexibility to reduce or increase the density in different parts of your hair systems, enabling you to create a natural transitional density that is similar to naturally growing hair. This gives your hair a more natural appearance that is authentic to nature. This is where we are different.

      Please review the following density selections and choose a density pattern.

      Selecting the correct density is determined by many factors:

      Your own hair density:It is important to choose a density that matches your remaining hair at the sides and back. This will help to blend your system into your existing hair.

      Age:A younger man could choose a thicker density (such as a medium) and still look natural, provided his remaining hair is of a similar density. Whereas, as we begin to age it is common for our hair to gradually reduce in density so a lighter density would render a much more natural appearance.

      Hairstyle:Thick hair is well suited to layered styles, while thin hair is often better suited to more blunt styles. People with thin hair often prefer styles with added curls to give an illusion of more hair.

      We strongly recommend that when choosing your density you opt for a transitional density that replicates nature. This means selecting a density coverage that has a subtle graduation to it just like real growing hair.

      Some might believe that choosing a heavy density everywhere will mean that their hair system lasts longer. This is not the case as the quality of workmanship and after-care determine the life span of a hair system and if you opted for this choice all you would end up with is an unnatural-looking hair system that is inferior and detectable.

      Hair density FAQ

      Q1
       
      Is your density scale the same as other suppliers?

      Not necessarily. Factories all over the world use similar but not always the same density scale. We use our standards, divided into various density options such as light density 80%, medium-light density 100%, medium density 120%, and so on.

      Q2
       
      Will my density affect my choice of base design?

      Absolutely ! The lighter the density, the finer and lighter the base material must be. Example: If you choose 60% density, the base must be extremely invisible, the finest Swiss lace (or French Lace). A heavier density can support a heavier, stronger base. It is important to remember that when using heavier base materials and heavier densities you sacrifice a natural appearance but you gain durability.

      Q3
       
      Can my density be adjusted after the unit is delivered?

      Yes, but it isn't recommended. It can easily be thinned with a thinning shear. The problem is when the hair on the hair system is thinned even as close to the base as possible, it leaves stubbles of hair down against the base. These stubbles feel like a "one-week beard growth" and could be unpleasant to the touch. If you have to thin out the hair, we recommend avoiding thinning from the hair roots.

      Q4
       
      Can I order different densities in different parts of the unit?

      Yes, our custom orders allow for different densities to be selected in different areas.

      Q5
       
      What is a good density for a man in his sixties?

      We usually recommend a density of 60-80% for older customers, but the actual selection should be based on the customer's specific hair thinning condition.

      Q6
       
      Are the density recommendations different for a female?

      Not necessarily, but most ladies prefer a higher density than men.

      Q7
       
      Can I order between your density percentages?

      Yes, our densities go up in incarnates of 10, starting from 60  to 140.  If you have other density requirements, please make a note on your  custom order  or contact our customer service.

      Q8
       
      Is there a maximum density for lace front or full lace hair systems?

      No, you can order any density you want with the lace bases within our density standard.

      Q9
       
      If a heavier density is the same price, shouldn't I just go for maximum hair?

      Even if it's free, too much density for your age and hair type will prevent it from looking as natural as possible. Neither is post-production thinning recommended because it may weaken your hair system.

      Q10
       
      I ordered the same density twice but one unit is a bit lighter than the other. Why?

      Since each hair system  is handmade  by ventilator, and handcrafted items are not as uniformly standardized as machine-made products, slight variations are normal, but we are working to minimize these variations.
