Creating an enhancer typically takes 4 to 9 hours depending on each clients individual condition.

One enhancer can last in good condition from 12 months to 2 1/2 years depending on maintenance.

Initially yes. But it Is not uncomfortable. It is like this with anything new, you are aware that there is something there that wasn’t there before. The look in the mirror and on the faces of passers by compensates totally for any potential initial discomfort from wearing a system. As the days go by you will start feeling the system less and less, and eventually forget about it. On your 6 week appointment we tighten the system and after a period of time, you will find that the tighter it is, the better it feels.

Every 6 weeks the enhancer becomes less tight fitting with hair growth. Therefore, it needs to be adjusted to maintain optimum appearance. Maintenance is less complex than the initial fitting and takes typically 1 and a half to 2 hours. In addition, every 4-6 months you are advised to have your enhancer realigned. We would lift off your enhancer (keeping it intact) and reapply it. This would take approximately 2 to 5 hours.

The enhancer allows you to grow back your own hair. It is a suitable and effective solution after chemotherapy, accidental hair loss or trichotillomania (hair pulling). Trichotillomania sufferers, it acts as a barrier making it difficult to pull on natural hair and may break the habit.

The system will cover your full head of hair so we will choose every element to help you achieve your perfect look. In your consultation we will assess all your colour needs (i.e. highlights and lowlights). You can have your own hair coloured prior to having your system installed. If you want it done on the day of installation we like to carry out a 24-hour allergy test first.
