Skin Hair Systems

The answer is NO! Thin skin hair systems are securely attached using strong, water-resistant adhesives, ensuring they stay firmly in place during daily activities like running, swimming, and even adventurous activities like skydiving.

However, while they are durable and designed to stay put, rough pulling or excessive force can cause damage to the hair system or loosen the bond. Proper handling and care are essential to maintain the integrity of your hair system.

Compared to lace-based or mono-based hair systems, thin skin hair systems are not naturally breathable due to the transparent polyurethane material used in the base. The lack of ventilation in the material makes them less suitable for users who prioritize airflow.

However, some ultra-thin skin systems, like our UTS series with a base thickness of 0.02mm or 0.03mm, offer a minimal level of breathability. While they don't provide the same airflow as lace systems, they are lightweight and comfortable enough for most users seeking a natural and seamless look.

Thin skin hair systems for men can be attached using glue, tape, or clips, depending on your preferences and lifestyle:

● Glue or Tape: These methods provide a secure, long-lasting attachment, with the hair system staying in place for up to a month or more before requiring deep cleaning. This option is ideal for men who prefer continuous wear.

● Clips: For those who want to remove their hair unit daily or wear it for a limited time, clip-on poly hair patches are a convenient and flexible solution.

Choose the attachment method that best suits your needs for comfort, durability, and convenience. Proper application ensures a natural look and secure fit.

To extend the lifespan of your thin skin hair system, whether poly or ultra-thin, consider the following tips:

● Gentle Combing: Use a wide-toothed comb or boar bristle brush to detangle hair without causing damage.

● Prevent Matting: Braid the hair before sleeping to avoid tangling, and never sleep with wet hair, especially if your system has long hair.

● Hydrate Ends: Apply a small amount of olive oil to the dry ends to prevent breakage and maintain softness.

● Avoid Water Damage: Limit exposure to saltwater and chlorine, as they can degrade the hair and the thin skin base.

● Skip Chemical Treatments: Refrain from using harsh chemical treatments, which can cause irreversible damage to the hair system.

By following these care practices, you can keep your thin skin hair system looking great and lasting longer.

Thin skin hairpieces are affordable and durable, but proper care is essential to maximize their longevity. Here are some tips to help extend their lifespan:

Shampoo Regularly: Keep your hairpiece clean and shiny by washing it regularly to remove dirt and odor.

Protect from Sun Damage: Wear a hat or cap in hot weather to shield your hair system from UV exposure, which can cause oxidation damage.

Detangle Carefully: Use a gentle brush or wide-toothed comb to prevent hair loss and reduce wear and tear.

Clean Adhesive Residue: Regularly clean adhesive buildup to maintain a natural appearance and ensure the system adheres properly.

Rotate Systems: If possible, rotate between multiple hairpieces to reduce daily wear and extend the lifespan of each.

Store Properly: Protect your hairpiece from dust and UV damage by storing it in a clean, dry place when not in use.

Both tape and glue are excellent options for securing thin skin hair systems, but they serve different needs:

Tape: Medical-grade tape is water-resistant, gentle on sensitive skin, and easy to apply and remove. It provides a strong and reliable hold, making it a popular choice for beginners and experienced users alike. Available in various strengths, tape keeps thin skin hair systems in place effectively while being less messy than glue.

Glue: For maximum adhesive strength, glue is often preferred. It offers a longer-lasting bond, making it ideal for those who want extended wear. However, glue can be messier to apply and remove, requiring extra care during the process.

Tape is often favored for its convenience and ease of use, while glue is better suited for those seeking the strongest hold. The best choice depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle.

The choice between a custom skin hair system and a stock hairpiece depends on your specific needs:

Stock Hairpieces: These are widely available and meet the needs of about 70% of users. They’re ideal for men looking for a quick and cost-effective solution with standard features.

Custom Skin Hair Systems: For those with unique requirements, such as specific curl patterns, hair density, length, or color, a custom option is the better choice. Custom systems offer a personalized fit and appearance but require more time to produce.

Ultimately, your decision should be based on your hair replacement goals, budget, and how tailored you want your hairpiece to be. Both options can provide excellent results when matched to your preferences.
