Question 1

What makes a custom hair system different from a regular hairpiece?

Accepted Answer

A custom hair system is designed entirely around your unique characteristics — your hair color with its natural variations, texture, density, hairline shape, and lifestyle. The result is highly individualized and crafted to look as natural as possible, unlike generic off-the-shelf options. Results will vary by individual.

Question 2

How long does it take to have a custom hair system made?

Accepted Answer

The process begins with a consultation and measurements. Turnaround time varies based on the complexity of your system. Our team will give you a clear timeline during your consultation.

Question 3

How should I care for my hair system at home?

Accepted Answer

Proper home care is extremely important and can help maintain the appearance, softness, and longevity of your hair system.

USE LUKEWARM OR COOL WATER ONLY. Never use hot water on your hair system. Hot water can dry out the hair and base, which may shorten the life of your system.

USE HAIR SYSTEM PRODUCTS ONLY. Use shampoos, leave-in conditioners, and cream conditioners specifically recommended for Non-Surgical Hair Replacement systems. Regular hair products may contain ingredients that are too harsh or drying for your system.

MOISTURIZE DAILY. Keep a spray bottle with water and your recommended leave-in conditioner available to lightly refresh and moisturize your hair as needed.

LESS IS MORE. Avoid over-shampooing, excessive brushing, and excessive combing. Too much manipulation can contribute to unnecessary shedding and shorten the life of your hair system.

DON’T OVERUSE STYLING PRODUCTS. If you use gel, hairspray, or another approved styling product, you do not have to reapply it every day. Product remains in the hair until it is shampooed. Applying more product every day creates buildup and requires more frequent shampooing.

USE CREAM CONDITIONER WHEN NEEDED. If your hair system begins to feel dry, use the recommended rinse-out cream conditioner to help restore moisture, softness, and shine.

A PROPER CUT-IN MAKES A DIFFERENCE. When your hair system is professionally cut-in and styled correctly, the haircut helps the hair naturally fall into its intended style, making everyday styling easier.

Remember: The less unnecessary manipulation, shampooing, heat, and product buildup your hair system experiences, the better you can protect its appearance and longevity.

At A Better You Hair Studio, our trained professionals will provide personalized maintenance and home-care instructions based on your specific hair system, attachment method, lifestyle, scalp needs, and hair texture.

Question 4

Can I shower, swim, and exercise normally?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our hair systems are designed so you can shower, swim, exercise, and enjoy an active lifestyle with confidence.

When shampooing, always use lukewarm or cool water—never hot water—and shampoo in moderation.

When swimming or exercising, remember that heat and perspiration can temporarily make the adhesive tacky. If you become hot, do not touch, pull, lift, or adjust your hair system. Allow your body and scalp to cool completely. As you cool down, the adhesive will firm back up and reseal.

If you're swimming, enjoy your laps, then get out of the pool and cool down before going back in. Think hot -> cool -> hot -> cool.

Most importantly: Live your life! Just follow your aftercare instructions and never manipulate your hair system while you're hot or sweating.
