Top 10 Tips For Successful Transition Into Bonded Hair Replacement

Transitioning into bonded hair replacement is no small matter, especially for women. Usually, we spend months or even years preparing for the "right" time. So, if you're considering it, or have already decided to move forward with bonded hair replacement, following are the top 10 tips (plus two) to consider before diving in:

1. Don't wait too long

Transition Coaching

If you are concerned about people knowing you're wearing hair, it's best to start doing it before your hair loss is so severe that it's an obvious transition.

2. Plan ahead

Order your first hair system at least 3 months before you plan to start wearing it. This allows time for any delays in manufacturing.

3. Be sensible

Don't plan to start wearing your first bonded hair system the week (or day) before a large event, like your wedding or someone else's. Give yourself at least a month to get acclimated to wearing hair before you plan to head out to a big event. Otherwise, you'll be overwhelmingly self-conscious and insecure during the entire event and will not be able to enjoy it.

4. Send a swatch

When you place your order, if you can spare a swatch of your actual hair, send it to you hair replacement retailer so they can more accurately match your hair color, texture, and possibly wave or curl.

5. Keep it simple

It's best to have a hairstyle that is low maintenance and does not require heat styling or heavy product usage so you can keep your hair system in the best condition for the longest possible time.

6. Be flexible

You may be trying to replicate your existing or previous hairstyle but be prepared to be flexible. Because each hair system is handmade from different donor hair, your biological hair and your hair system will look more like sisters than twins.

7. Get ready to experiment

A bonded hair system requires a period of experimentation to match an adhesive to your body chemistry. You'll also be tweaking your order specifications for your first few hair systems to find the right density and base material that works best for you.

8. Be realistic

The donor hair in a typical hair system that is made from Chinese or Indian hair lasts about 2-4 months. Expecting to wear it longer and have it look great is unrealistic.

9. Get a guarantee

Only purchase a hair system from a company that offers a really great guarantee. Be sure you can at least wash and wear the hair system without voiding the guarantee. Each hair replacement system is handmade and there is a wide margin for error or interpretation of your specs so you want to be able to get it fixed or get your money back.

10. Do your homework

Learn everything you possibly can about ordering properly to get the look you want, cleaning your scalp and base to get the best bond, best practices for attachment and removal, and how this all affects you emotionally while you transition into wearing a hairpiece.

BONUS TIP

11. Have a backup

It's always best to have at least two hair replacement systems on hand, just in case.

And the best advice I can give you is...get support. Isolation causes irrational fears and will keep you from moving forward. Share your concerns with a trusted friend, spouse or relative. Most people are genuinely empathetic to what you are going through. Just having someone listen, even if they can't physically help, will really help you to progress more quickly and get better results.
