Perhaps you suffer with diffuse hair loss and have tried wigs, wiglets, extensions and any number of other remedies with no success. Have you ever heard of integrations?
A hair integration is not a wig, hairpiece or extension. It requires no surgery. A hair integration blends an individual’s hair with an integration hair system to create fullness, volume and length. It is for individuals with thinning hair or hair loss who want to make the most of their natural hair. An integration system is designed with a cabling system what provides durability and security while providing a comfortable fit. Best of all, integrations are easy to put on, are secure and versatile. And, they stand up to a busy, active lifestyle and are completely undetectable.
Typically integrations have a feeling of life and realness you have never encountered before in any tpe of hair replacement. The color is matched to your own or whatever shade you feel is most flattering. The styles in which you can wear your hair are almost unlimited.
To put it simply, hair integration can make you look as if you never started losing your hair in the first place! Many clients feel as though they never had a hair loss problem to begin with!
How does it work? The integration is created by sewing strands of the finest human (or synthetic) hair precisely matched to the color, texture and length of your own hair, onto a sheer nylon or polyester web-like cap. Using a tail-comb, your own hair is then drawn through the web to blend in with the added hair for a full, even hairstyle.
If this is a new concept for you, and you like the sound of it, call today and schedule a consultation with one of the Hair Solutions Specialist at Fantasia. If you are looking for something so light you will never know it’s there, and something which will make you feel like it truely is “your hair”, this might be the perfect solution for you!

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.
