Question 1

How long do men's hair systems last in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

High-quality men's hair systems typically last 6-12 months with proper care. In Brisbane's humidity, monthly maintenance and sweat-resistant bonds help maximise lifespan.

Question 2

Do men's hair systems look natural?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A thin breathable base, accurate colour/density match, and a professional barber cut-in make modern systems virtually undetectable.

Question 3

Are hair systems worth it?

Accepted Answer

For many clients, yes. They provide immediate, non-surgical results, are fully customisable, and can restore confidence. Trade-offs include routine maintenance and periodic replacement.

Question 4

Can I shower, swim or play sports in a hair system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With water- and sweat-resistant adhesives you can swim, gym and play sport confidently, even in Brisbane's climate. We teach a simple 5-minute care routine.

Question 5

Can I sleep in a hair system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction, brush gently before bed, and ensure the bond is secure. Nightly wear may increase base wear over time.

Question 6

What is the difference between a wig and a hair system?

Accepted Answer

Wigs cover the full scalp and are often removed daily. Hair systems are partial custom units that blend with your own hair to restore density where needed.

Question 7

How often should I maintain or remove a hair system?

Accepted Answer

Plan professional maintenance every 4-6 weeks and a remove/clean/rebond cycle every 2-4 weeks depending on adhesive, skin chemistry and activity level.

Question 8

Are hair systems detectable to touch?

Accepted Answer

When fitted correctly with a thin base and seamless bond, they feel like natural scalp and are very hard to detect at casual touch.

Question 9

How long does a fitting take in Fortitude Valley?

Accepted Answer

Around 60-120 minutes for consultation, scalp prep, bonding and barber cut-in. First visits include aftercare coaching and a booked follow-up rebond.

Question 10

Can I use a sauna with a hair system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but frequent high heat can weaken adhesives and shorten lifespan. Limit sessions, rinse after heat exposure, and consider more frequent maintenance if you sauna often.

Question 11

Are hair systems bad for the scalp?

Accepted Answer

Not when fitted and maintained correctly. Keep skin clean, use approved removers, and follow a maintenance schedule. Those with sensitive skin should be assessed by a specialist.

Accepted Answer
