If you are new to wig wearing, you probably have a few questions on how to find the right piece for you. In this blog we will be talking about the benefits of a custom-made wig and how they compare to your standard off the shelf piece.
What does bespoke hairpiece or wig mean?
Bespoke is a term used to describe all products which are made specifically to your individual requirements. Each wig or hairpiece is designed uniquely for you through a consultation process and is handmade to your specified design.
We understand that hair loss is a life changing experience and has a profound psychological impact on those it effects. All of our bespoke systems are individually created with you in mind, all are virtually undetectable to both sight and touch. Our bespoke wigs, systems and hair pieces are all produced to the highest standards in the industry, ensuring you have the confidence and safety to go about your daily life.
Is a bespoke wig the best option for me?
Bespoke hair replacement systems are the perfect solution for those with long term hair loss, like Alopecia. The design and production process takes approximately 20 weeks, which means it is not suitable for short term hair loss, like chemotherapy patients.
What is the process like?
The first step of the process is to have a consultation with one of our experienced stylists, where your individual requirements are discussed. You can choose the hair length, hair type, colour, hair density, curl and type of foundation. Then, a template of your head is taken to give dimensions for the base. The design is sent to our factory for processing, if a hair and base approval is required, this can extend the time.
What type of hair is used for bespoke pieces?
We use various types of human hair including European hair, Mono hair, Remy hair, Indian and Chinese hair. We also have developed two types of synthetic hair called Cyberhair and V-Hair, both these synthetic hairs are unique and replicate human hair.
Our superb well-known Dermalite was first introduced in 1992, that was 32 years ago and today it is loved and worn by numerous individuals who have total hair loss.
The Dermalite fits you like a glove, it is light weight and comfortable, you won’t know you are wearing a wig! 70,000 – 100,000 strands of hair are individually knotted into the foundation. This takes about 80 hours of work by highly skilled workers and creates the impression that the hair is growing from the scalp.
Each Dermalite is made individually with you in control of decisions being made all the way through the consultation process, you will be required to have at least two consultations with your stylist. During the first consultation, you will discuss all your individual requirements; hair type, hair colour, hair length, curl and thickness of hair, all for the desired finished look. A template of your head will be made to recreate the exact size and shape for the base. The design will then be sent to our factory, where it will be made. Upon completion, your stylist will contact you to arrange for you to meet your brand new hair!
Bespoke hairpieces for specific areas of hair loss.
Whether your hair loss is caused by scarring such as lupus or by burn scars etc., we can create a bespoke hairpiece that can blend in seamlessly with your own hair.
We are great believers that you should enhance your own hair rather hide it all under a wig, but the choice is yours.
During a consultation with an experienced stylist, a template of the exact size, shape and contour of the hair loss area is measured. A colour sample from your existing hair will be taken so we can obtain the perfect colour match to create a virtually undetectable, specialised bespoke hairpiece.
Attachment methods will be discussed during the consultation as there are many different ways to wear your hairpiece. Ask your Aderans Trendco hair loss specialist for more information.
With our custom hair wigs, you are in control. You can decide what style you want and what colours to use. The best part about our wigs is that you can treat them as if they were your existing hair. This allows you to blow dry it, straighten it and wash it as usual.
