A hair system is the general term for hair replacement (permanent or temporary) treatments and technology that helps individuals experiencing baldness or alopecia. Permanent hair replacement treatments generally involve surgical remedies. Hair transplants are probably the more well-known permanent hair replacement treatments in the market. The procedure involves the removal of small portions of hair-bearing scalp from the sides or back of the head and transferring them to the bald spots. The price per graft typically ranges from $3 to $8 while the number of sessions required will depend on the patient's needs.

Another surgical-based hair system is scalp reduction. This is hair replacement system that usually comes after a hair transplant procedure. Bald spots are removed and the remaining scalp (with hair) is sutured together. Cost of this hair system may be almost similar to hair transplant surgery.

One of the most state-of-the-art hair replacement solutions is flap surgery, which involves taking a large, hair-bearing portion of the scalp and partially detaching it. The detached part of the scalp is used to cover the balding area. A portion of the flap remains attached to its original spot, so the tissue continues to receive nourishment from blood vessels.

However, if surgery sounds too invasive for you, one can always opt for alternative hair systems. Topical hair growth creams like Rogaine is a highly recommended solution for alopecia for most men and women. Temporary hair systems like hair pieces and hair extensions are also good alternatives for replacing lost hair. There are now a lot of hair piece and wig lines that cater to people who want natural-looking hair. Toupees and hair extensions can be made from synthetic or actual hair. The latter is, of course, more expensive but you can consider this as a good investment for yourself because they look better and last longer.
