5 steps you need to follow before ordering
It is very important to find the right fit for your customers to keep them happy and satisfied, especially in the case of new customers placing an order from you for the first time! Below you can find 5 steps to stick to when trying to find your customer the best match:
Get an accurate measurement of the hair loss area or make a head template for your customer to calculate the size and front contour of the hair system.

Choose the right base type according to your customers’ needs.
Different types of base designs come with their own characteristics. When recommending a base design to your customers, it is very important to be aware of what their needs are.
Some customers really care about how natural their hair systems appear while some place a great deal of emphasis on the lifespan and affordability of their hair systems. Things like comfort level and ease of use can be important to many users as well.
After learning more about your customer’s priorities, it will be very easy for you to figure out the right fit for them.

More costly. | A combination of 2 or more base materials. Can meet customers’ own needs. More costly. |

Select the right hair color for your customers.
Hair color is another important thing that affects the naturalness of your customers’ hair systems. Choosing the right color guarantees a realistic blending of their own hair and the hairpiece. There are typically 3 ways to select the hair color of a hair system.
1. Refer to the color ring. 2. Send us the hair sample (best option). 3. Send us the old unit. (It is recommended to send us the hair sample in the case of a color change happening to the old unit.)
Select the right hair type, length, density, wave, and direction for your customers.
Hair Type
We have a few options of hair type to choose from. Each comes with its own characteristics so the ideal choice will depend on the customer’s needs and preferences. We can also use hair provided by you or your customers.
Human hair | Indian hair | The most common and popular choice we have as it’s very soft and smooth, highly adaptable to color and texture processing. Excellent value for money. |
Indian remy hair | Top-class human hair, super soft and silky. All the hair runs in the same direction, usually used in producing high-end hair systems. | |
Chinese virgin hair | Super strong and straight, can withstand heavy processing without degrading the hair quality. Very sleek with low luster. | |
European hair | The finest and softest hair material available. Non-processed virgin hair with all cuticles intact and hair heading the same direction. Vulnerable to breakage though. | |
Synthetic hair | The most common type of artificial hair as it is extremely resistant to oxidation and color change. The best option for gray colors. Very sensitive to friction though. | |
Yak | Stronger and harder than human hair with shinier color tone. | |

Hair Length
For men’s hair systems, the most common hair length is 5”-6”, while women have much more varied needs for hair length. The following picture offers an illustration of the most common hair lengths among women.

Hair Density
Hair density is a measurement of the number of hair strands on the head. The higher the hair density, the more hair there is on the head.

In case you have extra needs:
Bleached Knots
Knot bleaching is one of the latest innovations that is done by putting the hair through a delicate root bleaching process after being knotted to the hair system base. It removes most of the dark color pigment from the hair to create an appearance of hair growing out of the scalp. It is meant to improve the natural appearance of the hair system.
Under Hair
Just as its name suggests, under hair is hair ventilated on the edge of a hair system from the underside of the base to cover the edge, so that the edge of the base becomes invisible. It achieves the goal of presenting a more natural front hairline.
