Hair Systems for Men & Women in Hyderabad
Hair Systems: Base Designs
At Needs Hair Studio, a hair system center in Hyderabad, we make and fit custom hair systems for non-surgical hair replacement. The base is one of the most important parts of a hair system, and it can also be the most confusing.
You may hear many names: hair patch, hair bonding, hair weaving, strand-by-strand, invisible skin, silk base, lace, wig, men's hairpiece or toupee. Behind these names, hair system bases are made from only two kinds of material: polymer and mesh fabric. Our team will explain which one suits you.
Polymer Base Designs
Polymer bases are a thin, skin-like material, so they are often called "poly" hair systems. They are made from silicone, polyurethane, or a combination of the two.
Silicone is very durable and resists body oils and acids, but it cannot be dyed to match skin tone, and it does not hold tape or glue well.
Polyurethane is less durable than silicone, but it can be tinted to match your skin tone and is easier to attach with tape or adhesive. Over time it can yellow or break down, so some bases combine both materials.
Polymer bases are strong and easy to clean, but they are not breathable and can feel warm.
Mesh Fabric Base Designs
Mesh fabric (lace) bases are light and breathable, and they give the most natural look at the hairline. A full lace hair system is very comfortable in warm weather, but it is more delicate and usually needs replacing sooner than a poly base.
Hair system bases fall into three design categories.
Lace Hair Systems
Made entirely of fine mesh or lace, these are the lightest and most breathable hair systems and give the most natural appearance. A full lace system can be made from several lace types. The trade-off is lower durability and more frequent replacement.
Lace / Poly Hair Systems
These combine a lace front or top for a natural hairline with a polymer perimeter or back for added strength and easier attachment. They balance natural looks and durability.
Poly Hair Systems
Made entirely of polymer, these are the most durable and easiest to maintain, and they look like hair growing from the scalp. They are less breathable than lace.
Hair System Ventilation
Ventilation is how the hair is attached to the base, and it affects both the look and the life of your hair system. The three main types are knotting, injection and looping.
Knotting is most common on lace hair systems, but can also be used on poly systems. Injection and looping are only available on poly systems, and they make the hair look as if it is growing from the scalp.
The Hair Knotting Process
Knotting is most common in lace hair systems. Each hair is tied to the mesh in a very small knot. Knots are usually available in four types: double, single, half and bleached.
Double Knot
Each hair is knotted twice, so it is very secure. It suits a very thick density, with volume and height. The larger knot makes it harder to lay the hair flat, so the style should be fuller.
Single Knot
A single, smaller knot gives a finer, more natural look, but the hair is less secure and may shed sooner.
Half Knot
A middle option between single and double knots, balancing a natural look and strength.
Bleached Knot
The knots are lightened to blend with the scalp, which makes the hairline look more natural. Bleached knots need gentle handling.
Attaching Hair Systems
At Needs Hair Studio, our technicians fit your hair system for you. Here is how it is done, so you know what to expect.
Locating a Guide Point
We mark where your natural hairline would start, usually about three to four fingers above the eyebrow, and find the center point of your forehead so the system sits symmetrically.
Positioning
The hair system is placed and checked against your guide point. A positioning spray gives us a few extra moments to adjust the fit before it is attached.
Attaching the Hair System
Once the position is right, the system is attached by bonding, weaving or clips, depending on the method you chose, and then blended with your hair and styled.
Hair System Adhesives and Care
Adhesive gives a secure hold. We explain which adhesive suits your skin and base, and how to care for it between visits.
Hair Glue Adhesive
Skin-safe hair glue is a very secure attachment method, and it can be combined with hair tape for a stronger hold. Hold and skin comfort depend on the base material and your scalp. We use hair glue, hair tape or both together, depending on your base and your scalp.
How We Apply Adhesive
We apply a thin layer of adhesive to your scalp and a thin layer to the underside of the base, never directly to the lace. Each layer is left to dry for 3 to 5 minutes. We then position the hairline, roll the system back over the scalp and press it firmly, and leave it to settle for several minutes before styling.
Adhesive Tips
Keep the scalp clean and oil-free, avoid pulling the system, and tell us if you notice itching or redness. Applying two coats strengthens the hold, and the hair system should stay dry and free of sweat for 24 hours after fitting.
How to Get the Best Hold
Come back for maintenance about every four weeks and follow the care routine we give you.

Common Questions
Hair System FAQs
Does a hair system look really natural?
Yes. We match color, density, texture and hairline to your own hair, and a lace front gives a very natural hairline.
Can I get a hair system with varying densities to match my existing hair?
Yes. We design the density to blend with your hair, lighter at the front and fuller where needed.
What is the life period of a hair system?
It depends on the attachment method, base material and maintenance. A Needs Hair Studio hair system lasts about a year and longer with regular servicing.
Can I meet clients to know their response and experience?
Yes. We are glad to connect you with clients. Book an appointment at our Hyderabad studio and our staff will answer your questions.
Do I need to remove the hair system while swimming, bathing or working out?
Generally no, but it depends on the attachment method and your activity. We design the hair system and choose the adhesive for your level of activity, so tell us your requirements before it is made. With intense activity or heavy sweating, we recommend servicing every two to three weeks.
Which base material looks the most natural?
Lace gives the most natural hairline. Lace/poly gives a natural front with a stronger back, and poly looks like hair growing from the scalp.
How is a hair system attached?
By bonding, weaving or clips, depending on the system and your preference. Our technicians fit it for you.
What is the difference between lace, mesh and polyurethane bases?
Lace and mesh are light, breathable and natural-looking but less durable. Polyurethane (poly) is stronger and easier to maintain, but less breathable.
Can a hair system be dyed?
Polyurethane bases can be dyed to match your skin tone easily. Pure lace bases are harder to dye, which is worth discussing at your consultation.
How much does a hair system cost in Hyderabad?
It depends on the base, hair type and density. See the cost section above, or book a consultation for an exact estimate. EMI options are available.
What is the difference between a hair system, a hair patch and a wig?
A hair system is a custom base with hair, fitted to your scalp. A hair patch is a smaller piece for a thinning area, and wigs for men cover the whole head and are generally removed daily. We will recommend what suits you.
