Frequently asked questions

Speak to a professional about the options available to you, considering factors such as your budget, lifestyle, desired look, and the level of day-to-day maintenance you are willing to do.

Yes, definitely. So much so that it’s often the first thing clients discuss in consultations. Most people suffering hair loss feel a drop in confidence.

Shorter styles can work, taking the thicker parts of the hair shorter to create an illusion of thicker hair where there is hair loss.

Fibres, skilful styling and lots of time in front of the mirror can all help. For a less time-consuming day-to-day option, toppers and hair systems are generally easier approaches.

Yes, many women wear hair systems. From short hairstyles to long ones, we can achieve any desired style.

If your hair loss feels sudden, patchy, rapid or is beginning to affect your confidence, it may be worth seeking professional advice.

Genetics, stress, hormones, medical conditions and lifestyle factors can all contribute to hair thinning at a younger age.

This depends on the cause. Some types of hair loss are temporary, while others are more permanent or progressive.

Yes. Stress can contribute to temporary hair thinning or increased hair shedding in some people.

Yes. Hair thinning and hair loss are extremely common and can affect both men and women at different stages of life.

Yes, many clients tell us that wearing a hair system or topper gives them an immediate confidence boost because they feel more like themselves again. Because each system is tailored to your hair colour, density and style, the result looks natural and is easy to manage day-to-day.

Yes, they do, and that is why even though experts estimate tens of thousands of people wear them in the UK. It is still a well-kept secret. You wouldn’t know unless someone told you they were wearing one.

With this figure in mind, chances are you even know at least one person who wears one.

We generally aim for 6 months, but some clients get up to a year. It really can depend on lifestyle and if the client sticks to the aftercare advice and attends a monthly maintenance appointment.

Yes! When fitted properly to your individual hair loss, matching colour and density, you get a seamless blend.

You should not exercise for at least two weeks after a hair transplant.

Working out too soon leads to sweating and elevated blood pressure, which can increase the risk of infection and reduce hair survival rates. It is advisable to avoid heavy lifting or duties for 4 weeks to give the new hair the best chance.

Yes, they can be. The anaesthetic injections are often considered the most uncomfortable part, before you become numb to the actual surgery. Once this numbness wears off, the pain and irritation will start, which is part of a long healing process.

Yes, they are. All the scarring and plugs are permanent, but the hair is not guaranteed to last and continues to thin.

The best alternative largely depends on factors such as your lifestyle, expectations, budget, hair loss severity, and flexibility.

Hair systems or hair toppers are often great. In my many years working in the hair system industry, I have never encountered a client who was not suitable for a hair system or topper.

No. The only discomfort you may feel is the system being removed for cleaning. We have to slowly peel it off with glue remover, as it is well stuck even after a few weeks of wear. Most clients love this experience, though, because you get a lovely head massage before the system goes back on.

Non-surgical hair replacement includes solutions such as hair systems, toppers and wigs designed to restore the appearance of fuller hair without surgery.
