How Is a Hair System Installed?

September 30, 2026

Installing a hair system involves preparing the area, attaching the system, then cutting and styling it to blend with your own hair.

1. Prepare

The area where the system will sit is usually shaved or trimmed short and cleaned so the tape or adhesive can hold well.

2. Attach

Systems are attached with hair-system tape, liquid adhesive, or both. The right choice depends on your base type, your skin and your routine.

3. Cut in and style

New systems usually come with longer hair so they can be cut and blended with your own hair and styled the way you like.

Stylist or at home?

Many first-time wearers have a stylist experienced with hair systems do the first installation, then learn to maintain it themselves.
