Hair Replacement
The term Hair Replacement has often been generically used to describe hair pieces, wigs, and some hair extensions. A hair replacement system is a specific term for a bespoke hair system that is attached to the skin using various types of skin adhesives therefore it stays in place longer than a standard hair piece or wig.
Deciding if a Hair Replacement System is suitable is determined by the severity of the hair loss.. Thinning hair or small patches of loss may be effectively dealt with using a system of extensions such as with our Medi Connections™ system. More widespread loss of coverage usually requires a mesh-based system such as our very successful Intralace System™. Complete loss of hair as well as advanced hair loss clients can use a more specific approach - such as Hair Replacement.
In most cases early hair replacement systems were often quite artificial looking and easily noticed. Most companies still use this older technology but Lucinda Ellery uses Hair Replacement, specialising in advanced hair line technology. The hair line is very natural looking.
Techniques for hair replacement in mild cases of loss
In mild cases of hair loss the Medi Connections™ system uses a process of bonding hair extensions to your existing hair using an adhesive which we have specially created to leave your hair in the same condition as before we applied them. We use rather finer extensions than would be the case with our range of professional extensions and after ensuring the maximum compatibility with your hair texture and colour we target the areas which are causing concern to effectively disguise the thinning by adding volume and length if required.
Replacement techniques suitable for more pronounced hair loss
For more pronounced hair loss the Intralace system™ uses a very fine mesh which is fitted next to your scalp and through which your existing hair is gently retrieved. Once this has been done, additional pieces of mesh to which matched hair has been attached are added to the areas where hair loss has occurred and these blend with your own hair to give full coverage.
The mesh is breathable, you can brush your hair as your own and is completely washable and is intended to remain in place for as long as necessary; you can get on with your everyday life without worrying about your hair. Each system is built specifically for the person concerned allowing complete customisation.

Complete hair replacement techniques for severe hair loss
For total hair loss or for clients in excess of 70% loss of density, Hair Replacement is used in these circumstances as this offers an alternative to using wigs, with a far more natural appearance. These systems are custom made to fit our clients' scalp shape and we can also determine density, colour, highlights, lowlights and curl definition.
