- Choosing only on looks. The most delicate bases give the most natural hairline but need more care and more frequent replacement. Balance the look with your routine.
- Too much density. A system much fuller than your own hair around the sides and back can look less natural. Read What Does Hair Density Mean?
- Skipping the cut-in. Systems arrive uncut with longer hair so a stylist can cut and blend them with your own. See how to find a hair system stylist.
- Rushing adhesive removal. Removing tape or adhesive harshly can damage the base. Use a suitable remover and be gentle.
- Not planning a replacement. Every system wears out eventually; plan ahead so you're never without one.
- Harsh products and heat. Use products made for hair systems and keep heat low.
