Hair Integration System

The key feature of a hair integration system is the ability to pull your existing hair through the hairpiece. There are also hairs attached to the base material of the hairpiece that are dyed and styled to blend in with your own hair. This can often give you a much thicker, fuller looking head of hair.

This type of hair system is often called a 'pull-through hairpiece'.  It is designed for people with thinning or diffuse hair loss. (For example, a woman who doesn't want a full wig but just wants to add more fullness to her thinning hair.) 

The base material of the hairpiece varies with a hair integration system but the typical base will consist of different mesh types based on the thickness and condition of your existing hair. Different bases will offer various sizes and shapes of holes in the mesh (for example, 1/4" mesh on the front with 1/2" mesh on the back for a more natural looking head of hair.)

Many hair integration systems are light, flexible and air-permeable. They're a bit like a hair net with hair attached (only much more sophisticated). Hair integration systems are often attached with smalls clips that clip to your existing hair to keep the system in place.

You can usually find hair integration systems through specialized hair replacement system sellers or by doing some research via the Internet. They tend to be reasonably priced however obviously you're going to get what you pay for - with a more natural looking system costing a bit more.

Hair integration systems, since they are suited to diffuse hair loss, are often more popular with women than men. (Since women tend to suffer more from diffuse, all over hair thinning whereas men generally follow specific hair loss patterns.) They can offer an excellent non-surgical way to combat thinning hair while making use of the hair you still do have.

The disadvantage to a hair integration system (especially for women) is that if your hair is long, pulling it through the hairpiece can take a lot of time and can sometimes be more trouble than it's worth. Also, as with most hair replacement systems, if you choose a poorly made hair integration system, it can be easy for people to spot.
