More information
What the Fitting Involves
Your appointment typically takes 1.5–2 hours and includes several key stages:
- Consultation and colour matching to select the right system for your hair loss pattern, lifestyle, and desired look
- Scalp preparation: the bonding area is shaved or closely trimmed, then cleansed to ensure a secure hold
- Hairline positioning using precise marking techniques for a realistic, natural front edge
- Adhesive application with tape, liquid adhesive, or a combination, applied around the perimeter or full base
- System placement from front to back, smoothing out air bubbles and ensuring an even bond
- Cutting, blending, and styling to integrate the system seamlessly with any existing hair
After fitting, you'll need to keep the system dry for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to cure fully.
Who It's For
Hair system fitting suits men experiencing:
- Significant thinning or baldness where topical treatments or styling alone are no longer effective
- A desire for immediate, visible results without surgery or long recovery times
- The need for a customisable, removable solution that can be updated or changed over time
Because the bonding area is typically shaved, you'll be committing to wearing the system continuously for the most natural appearance. It's ideal if you're looking for a stable, day-to-day cosmetic solution and are prepared for regular maintenance appointments.
Maintenance and Aftercare
Hair systems are removable and non-permanent, requiring ongoing care:
- Adhesive changes every few weeks (tape) or months (glue), depending on the product and your activity level
- Use of gentle, sulphate-free shampoos and leave-in conditioners to keep hair fibres smooth
- Moderate heat styling to protect the longevity of the system
- Monitoring for edge lifting and booking touch-ups before the next full refit
At Changing Grooms, salon owner Nicki Cattel and the team provide guidance on daily care routines and can schedule regular maintenance to keep your system looking fresh and secure. With consistent aftercare, your hair system will deliver a natural, confident look every day.
Realistic Expectations
Modern hair systems use thin base materials and realistic hairlines for a natural finish when professionally fitted. Factors that affect how long your system stays in optimal condition include:
- Daily wear, product use, and heat styling habits
- Swimming, sports, and exposure to sun or chlorine
- Skin sensitivity and adhesive choice
A well-maintained system typically lasts several months before needing replacement, and your starting price of £595 covers the system, professional fitting, and initial styling. Ongoing costs include maintenance appointments and eventual replacement, so it's an investment in your appearance and confidence over time.
