What should you know about hair loss system?

The system uses a base carrying hair-like fibres or human hair, shaped to blend with your style. It may be secured with clips, adhesive or another method selected for the scalp and lifestyle. It changes appearance rather than treating follicle activity. Hair Loss may reflect Male Pattern Hair Loss, Female Pattern Hair Loss, Alopecia Areata, Telogen Effluvium or Traction Alopecia, so a skin assessment can prevent a cosmetic covering from delaying care. A good fit should feel secure without creating pressure, pulling or persistent irritation.

Have the scalp checked before fitting if shedding is new, patchy or accompanied by scale. Ask how often the system should be removed, cleaned and refitted, and whether adhesive can irritate your skin. Keep the scalp dry as advised, avoid tight attachment and report repeated itching or soreness. Plan maintenance appointments because the base, attachment and surrounding hair need adjustment as your hairstyle or hair density changes. If the cause is treatable, discuss medical care separately from camouflage.

Seek medical advice for painful bumps, crusting, oozing, spreading redness, intense itch, broken hairs or sudden bare patches beneath or around the system. Scalp Ringworm and inflammatory conditions can need specific treatment and may worsen under an occlusive covering. Remove the system and contact the fitter or clinician if you develop swelling, blistering or a reaction after an attachment product.

What could be causing my loss? Is my scalp healthy enough for a system? Which base and attachment suit my skin? How should I clean the scalp and the system? Could treatment reduce further loss? Which reaction means I should stop using the attachment?
