You'll be given careful aftercare instruction. Follow them and your hair systems should last 3-4 months… sometimes as long as 5!
Systems need to be refitted every 3-4 weeks. Occasionally you may be able to go as long as 5 weeks. If you are highly active or have a physical job you may need a refit every 2-3 weeks. Refitting includes trimming of your natural hair and styling as necessary.

Your hair systems is carefully coloured to match your natural hair. Over-washing will lead to drying out the system and fading the colour. We recommend shampooing no more than once a week. You can rinse and condition your hair system as much as you want between shampoos.
Since the hair system will receive none of your natural scalp oils, conditioning is vital to keep your system in the best condition. Occasional use of the Hair Presence System Boost conditioning treatment and frequent use of the Hair Presence Leave-In Conditioning Spray will help immensely.
Avoiding harsh shampoos will help preserve the colour and condition of your system.
You will be given clear instructions on aftercare and I will go through the recommended products with you too.
The hair system is made of human hair, but since you will be shampooing your hair much less it is important to use water-soluble styling and finishing products that rinse away easily. That means avoiding waxy or oily products.

In the time between refits, any hair under the system that grows is usually fairly insignificant and will be trimmed off when the system is removed during the refit.
