How To Fit A Hair System

Understandably, if you are looking to purchase a hair piece of any kind (i.e

. human or synthetic hair), you will be looking for the most cost efficient, high quality, undetectable result. While it is vital that sufficient research is done into the market of hair pieces and types of application (for example surgically or non-surgically applied), it is just as important that the wig is fitted properly, as this is often the factor that causes hair pieces to be noticed instead of looking like natural hair.

If the hair piece is purchased over the counter, the standard wig size will be adjustable at the back part of the neck. These are often seen in cheaper pieces, using methods like straps, clips and small pieces of Velcro. While this is common for one size fits all solutions, there are many different ranges of wig fitting, meaning each piece will have a slightly different standard base size. For this reason, one should always make sure to try on as many hair pieces as possible before any purchase (for off the peg hair pieces) is made. All individuals have a very slightly different scalp shape. This means that although a wig may seem like it fits, you need to make sure that it is perfectly comfortable to wear too.

More popular ranges of wigs will have a base with a standard fit, which is a cap of 52-55cm, again, with means to adjust the size for comfort, loosening and tightening. There are also petite ranges, which, although more restricted in styles and colours, are best for those with smaller heads. A petite head size is considered to be 50-52cm.

The most accurate way to measure the head for when fitting a hair piece is by starting at the centre point of the head. Measure from this exact point to just above the occipital bone - the lower back part of the head - and then return to the centre point of the original hair line for a true reading.

Hair systems slightly differ from hair pieces in that they are custom made and sometimes have different application methods. It is for this reason that hair systems provide a bespoke, tailor made fit for each individual. Hair systems from Bloomsbury of London are fitted by using a mould of the head, from which a template membrane is made a lightweight mould of the shape and size of the head. This mould also produces a vacuum tight fit to the scalp, which literally acts as an extension of the epidermis, i.e. a second skin, to which individual hairs are knotted onto the create the most natural looking outcome.
