The annual cost for those who use hair prosthesis is not an exact science.

WHAT IS THE COST TO MAINTAIN HAIR PROSTHESES AT HOME

If you want to calculate your expenses and the price to pay, the first thing you should do is ask yourself how you will maintain your hair prosthesis. Will you do it alone or, on the contrary, will you pay for maintenance at a hairdresser’s?

This is a fundamental factor that will determine whether costs increase or decrease. If you decide to do the maintenance at home, it is best to ask your stylist previously or, if you feel more confident, ask our own professionals.

They will give you the best advice so that you do not have to go to any beauty center and better manage the maintenance of your hair prostheses and, in consequence, to reduce the total cost.

To help you with the task of taking care of your hair prostheses, we suggest you pay attention to the following recommendations.

Follow these steps:

Get a good quality shampoo and don’t just look at its price when it comes to washing your hair prosthesis.
Acquire maintenance products that can help you keep your hair prosthesis in perfect condition.
If your prosthesis is adhesively attached to the skin, you must use tape, glue, and solvent each week to clean the base.
Remember do not apply chemicals without the help of a professional.
Just do simple maintenance at home, like cleaning and fitting the prostheses.

THE PRODUCTS YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN YOUR HAIR PROSTHESIS AT HOME

When you wear a hair prosthesis, you have to protect your hair and constantly moisturize it. On average, the cost of this task is 100 dollars a year and as for the products that you should use, these are:

Delicate and protective sulfate-free shampoo.
Restructuring cream to use every week to moisturize the hair.
UVA ray protector, to protect the hair from the sun and prevent it from oxidizing.
An oil-free, or dry oil, or argan oil, to moisturize all hair strands.

WHAT IS THE COST FOR MAINTAINING HAIR PROSTHESES IN SPECIALIZED CENTERS

We have already told you about the approximate price of maintaining your hair prosthesis at home. But, if you choose to go to a hair center to be pampered instead, you will clearly have to pay for this service and the costs will increase considerably.

The prices in the beauty centers may vary according to the service but, on average, they are around 100 dollars for maintenance, although this will depend on the system you choose.

YOUR HAIR PROSTHESIS, WHAT YOU NEED AND ITS PRICE

We have already told you about the average cost of maintaining hair prostheses, both at home and in specialized centers. Next, we will explain to you what products are required for its maintenance and what is the common price that they have in the market.

HAIR INTEGRATION SYSTEMS

Hair integration systems can present several differences between them. There are long-lasting systems, but they are heavier and more visible. There are also short-term ones, totally invisible and breathable.

Before deciding to use hair prostheses, you should get informed about the characteristics of each system. To do this, you can request information at the beauty center of your convenience or you can go directly to our online store and examine the different systems available.

FIXED COSTS OF WEARING HAIR PROSTHESES

To start the hair treatment, a haircut is almost always included for the user, so that this hair integrates with the partial prosthesis. In this case, this cost only affects users of partial hair prostheses.

On the other hand, there are clients who use a razor to shave their sides to reduce this cost. Or others who prefer, every month or two months, to go to a hairdresser’s.

This is also a personal choice and it is up to you to decide how to proceed and how to feel better.

ADHESIVES, SOLVENTS AND TAPES

If your prosthesis is adhesively attached to the skin, you need to use tape, glue and solvent each week to clean the base.

The cost of these items is around 100 dollars per year, with a maximum of 150 dollars. Therefore, we are talking about the estimated total price, being only 10-12 euros per month.

It is not an excessive expense, but it should be calculated if the budget is limited. Clearly, if you opt for an adhesive partial prosthesis or a full adhesive prosthesis, this expense will be removed from your fixed costs.

WHAT IS THE PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HAIR PROSTHESIS FOR MEN AND WOMEN

Although it can be said that all prostheses may look the same, it is true that there are differences between them and, therefore, in terms of cost. A hair prosthesis is designed to cover certain areas of the head where there is an absence of hair.
