What is a Hair System?
A hair system is a non-surgical solution for hair loss or volume enhancement, made from either human or synthetic hair. It offers a temporary, customizable way to cover thinning hair, add volume, or change your style without the need for permanent treatments.

Practical Tips for Beginners
Step 1
Measure Accurately
Always measure your head properly. A unit that doesn’t fit well will look fake or slide around.
Step 2
Get the Right Tools
Get proper tools: adhesive/tape and removers, base cleaner, maybe a mannequin head to practice.
Step 3
Start with Stock
Start with a stock, off-the-shelf unit (not custom) to get used to wearing, cleaning, attaching. Once you know your preferences (color, base style, density, etc.) you can go custom.
Step 4
Professional Cut-In
Let a good barber or specialist do the first cut-in or edge blending, so the hairline looks natural.
Step 5
Gentle Cleaning
Be gentle when cleaning; don’t pull too hard; avoid harsh chemicals.

FAQ
What adhesive is best for swimming?
If your hair is frequently exposed to water, use waterproof tape or adhesives. Acrylic adhesives (Ultra Hold) or Blue Liner Lace tape work well for secure attachment.
Will the lace match my skin tone?
The lace color of all stock hair systems is beige. If you need the lace in other colors, please contact our customer service at support@lavividhair.com for customization.
Can I customize density in different base sections?
Yes, many customers order lighter density in the front hairline for a natural graduated appearance. We can also offer a lighter density around the perimeter to blend seamlessly with your hair.
How long until I receive my hair system after ordering?
It depends on your location and the hair systems you ordered. The delivery time includes order processing and shipping time. Our stock hair systems require 3-4 business days for processing, while a custom order takes around 6 weeks. For US orders, we use USPS and FedEx, which take about 7 days. For international orders, shipping usually takes 6-12 business days. We cannot guarantee shipping times during national crises, holidays, or other unforeseen delays.
Which base provides the most secure attachment?
If bonded correctly, all our hair systems provide you with a secure attachment. If you care for your hair system properly (by removing, cleaning, and re-bonding every 2-4 weeks), it will stay secure. Nevertheless, many clients report the best experience with the full skin base. You need to apply liquid adhesive all over the scalp before wearing a full skin base hair system for the most secure fit.
Can I swim, shower, or sleep with my hair system on?
Yes, you can sleep, swim, and shower with it on without any issues. However, chlorine in pools can be harmful and make the hair drier, so we recommend deep conditioning the hair after swimming to help refresh it.
How long can I keep the hair system bonded?
The bonding time depends on factors like the adhesive used, your skin type, the climate, and your lifestyle. We recommend removing and cleaning it every 1-2 weeks to extend its lifespan. If you don’t sweat a lot and live in a dry climate, you can leave it on for about 3-4 weeks. If you attach a lace hair system with liquid adhesive, we don’t recommend wearing it for more than two weeks to avoid difficulty in cleaning.
Do you offer customization services?
Yes, we do. We provide a convenient individual service to create the most suitable hair system based on your specific needs. You can choose the hair material, color, texture, density, base construction, size, shape, and hair direction for a perfect match.
Which hair system is most breathable for an active lifestyle?
Full lace hair systems are the most breathable and lightweight styles. We also have combined bases of lace and skin, which are also breathable and easy to apply and remove. We recommend you remove the hair system and do a thorough clean once a week if you sweat a lot every day.
Will a hair system damage my scalp?
It will not damage your scalp or existing hair, provided the hair system is kept clean and maintained correctly. The hair system may actually provide protection against the sun and shield sensitive scalps from the elements.
How often should I replace my hair system?
It mainly depends on which base you choose, as different bases have different lifespans. Our ultra-thin skin base (0.03mm) lasts about 2 months, while our mono base can last up to a year with the right care. Additionally, how often you wear it and how you maintain your hair system also affect its lifespan.
Any tips for removing tape from my lace base?
Before removing the lace hair system, apply spray adhesive remover to the tape area and soak it for several minutes. Find the edge of the base in the back and lift it slightly, then use a towel to gently remove the tapes.
