Non-surgical hair replacement explained
Hair systems that fit your look and your life.
Explore customized non-surgical hair replacement, including different attachment styles, materials, care routines and the questions to ask before choosing. A private consultation can help you compare what suits your goals.
What type of hair replacement are you considering?
There’s no single option that suits everyone. Your preferences for coverage, removability, scalp comfort and upkeep all matter.
Attached hair systems
Designed to cover an area of hair loss and secured using a professional attachment approach appropriate to the base and wearer. Ask about comfort, removal and service appointments.
Wigs and toppers
Removable choices can provide full or partial coverage. Compare fit, construction, styling flexibility, fibers and methods of securing a piece.
CRLAB CNC prosthetics
CRLAB describes a customized CNC hair prosthetic with a personalized base and hair design. Confirm consultation, fitting, availability and upkeep locally.

Six questions to bring along
Select the questions you’ve prepared. These selections are for your own use and are not submitted or saved to the studio.
Understand the practical details
Open a question to learn what to discuss with the Transitions team before making a decision.
Will a hair system look natural?
Appearance depends on the base, hairline, density, color, cut, styling and fit. Ask to see relevant examples and discuss a result appropriate to your existing hair and preferences.
Will I need to shave my hair?
Not every system requires the same preparation. Ask whether your proposed base and attachment method require trimming or shaving, and what alternatives are available.
How long will a system last?
There is no universal lifespan. Material, construction, wear, cleaning and maintenance affect durability. Request realistic expectations for the specific option.
Can I shower, swim or exercise in it?
Activities depend on the proposed system and attachment. Obtain product-specific guidance about water exposure, perspiration, drying and security.
Are maintenance services included?
Ask for an itemized estimate covering fitting, regular maintenance, supplies, repairs and future replacement. Do not assume ongoing services are included in the initial price.
