Fantasia Salon / Spa and Wig Specialists

An integration hair system combines natural hair and new hair. The key function for any hair integration is the ability to pull your existing, growing hair directly through the unit. It is a small system combined with your own natural growing hair to fill in the areas where you are lacking hair. What this does, is allow you to wear a custom hair replacement system without having to shave your head. Integrations are designed to work in conjunction with, and enhance and complement your own natural hair. About 65 percent of women experiencing hair loss fit into a category that can be successfully addressed by integration.

Your own hair is combined with the hair on the integration piece to create the look of a full, complete, beautiful head of hair. With integration, a professional hair replacement technician can fill in more hair in certain areas and less hair in other areas. This allows for the healthy hair to be blended with integrated hair. There should be no noticeable difference between your natural hair and the hair being integrated. Thus , it makes for an ideal appearance. Integrations can add back 20-30 percent of the hair you may have lost in certain places on your scalp.

Integrations are essentially fabric or simulated skin that have replacement hair attached to them that also serves to hide the material. This allows your stylist to bring through your own hair. Integrations can be worn daily or extended-wear, just as some other replacement systems can be.

Think of an integration as kind of a web of extensions strategically placed where you need them. They may be woven in or attached with clips, combs, adhesive tape, solution, or even fused or bonded to existing hair. Some may also be affixed with snaps, Velcro or eye loops.

There are several types of integrations to choose from: man made, thread (mono thread), cable, ribbon wefts and polymer wefts. At Fantasia, our hair replacement technicians are experienced fitting integrations and can discuss all of the different types and styles with you to determine which would be the best based on the degree of your hair loss. This could be a beautiful option for you as it incorporates the hair you already have and fills in where you are lacking. You would definitely want to consider this if you are not ready for a full hair replacement system. Again, the professionals at Fantasia are here to help you.
