Listen to the full textHave you ever tried with a hair system that was nearly perfect but still fell short of your expectations? The size doesn't match, the color is a little wrong, or the density is too thick. You are not alone. Many hair system users face these same challenges. With thorough research and consideration, many of them have come to one solution - a custom hair system. Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, a custom hair system is made just for you. To choose a perfect custom hair system for yourself, you must have a clear understanding of your needs and be familiar with the essential characteristics of a good system. This guide will help you understand how to choose a custom hair piece that looks natural and makes you feel great every day.
What are custom hair systems?
Custom hair systems are personalized hair pieces made based on the wearer's individual requirements. Unlike ready-to-wear hair pieces, you can customize specific features such as base size, base materials, color, density, and texture for a custom hair system.
Custom hair systems enable users to choose and customize almost every detail of a hairpiece. It is an ideal solution for men seeking a perfect fit and a natural look for their hair replacement needs.
Why choose a custom hair system?
To put it simply, it's all about you. Ready-made hairpieces might work, but a custom one offers the best fit for your scalp and lifestyle. Based on your particular needs, a custom hair system brings an unmatched level of naturalness, comfort, and confidence.
Here is how a custom hair system works in your favor:
The Perfect Fit
Ready-made hair systems are available in common sizes, but the contours of your head are different. A custom hair system base can fit like a second skin if your head measurements are accurate. You may live your life with complete confidence because there is no lifting and less wear and tear.
The Most Natural Look
This is one of the biggest advantages of a custom hair system. "Natural" comes from more than just hair. You can control all these specifics of a custom system:
- Custom Base Design: A good base choice is the foundation of a great hair system. Custom hair systems perfectly match the unique contours of your scalp. You can choose base materials based on your preferences: thin skin for easy maintenance, lace for better breathability, or a hybrid mixing their advantages.
- Precise Color Match: Stock hair colors have standard shades and might not match your unique hair color perfectly. Custom hair pieces blend shades and highlights to precisely match your individual hair color. This precise matching enables the system to blend in perfectly with your hair, making an invisible transition.
- Perfect Density: "Density" simply means how thick or thin the hair looks. With a custom system, you can choose its thickness. This way, your hair will look full and healthy, but also natural for your age. It's the difference between having hair and having your hair.
Designed for Your Lifestyle
Your hair is to serve your life. The benefit of custom systems is that you have complete control. Choose the materials and features that fit how you live, whether you are active and need lace for breathability, or prefer durable skin for easy wear. Your system will be made to match your life, so you can look and feel your best every day.
This is more than just a purchase; it's your choice, your style, your confidence.
Stock Hair System vs Custom Hair System
Stock hair systems are like ready-to-wear clothes, quick and affordable with standard sizes and styles shipped in days. It is a good choice for beginners, but it might not fit perfectly on your head.
Custom systems are tailored suits based on your measurements, with options for base type, hair texture, and color. They usually take two to three months to make, but offer unmatched realism and comfort.

Ready to Wear VS Custom Hair System. What's your choice?
How to Choose a Suitable Custom Hair System
Your individual needs and style should be taken into account when choosing a custom hair system. The following simple steps will lead you to a suitable match:
Be Clear About Your Needs
Think about what you need first. What hair loss areas do you need to cover? Do you need a hair system for special occasions, sports activities, or everyday wear? What is your desired hairstyle: straight, curly, long, or short? The answers to these questions will help you make a rational decision.
Choose Your Hair Type
Choose 100% human hair for the most natural look. Premium Remy human hair is softer, less likely to tangle, and lasts longer. While synthetic hair costs less, it will not look as natural and cannot be styled with heat.
Measure Your Scalp
For a hair system to look natural, it needs to match your scalp size. You need precise measurements to make your system sit securely on your head. Watch our simple guide to learn how to measure. Read more about base size.

Base Material Matters
The base is the foundation of your hair system. Lace is realistic and breathable, great for active individuals or hot weather. Skin bases are durable and easy to clean, great for low maintenance. Hybrid bases blend the strengths of different materials. Your choice depends on your lifestyle.
Struggling to Pick a Hair System Base? Here's What You Need!
Base Color and Hair Color
To make the hair system base unnoticeable on your scalp, choose a base color that matches your skin tone. Choose a hair color based on your natural hair or your desired look. Custom hair systems can blend with gray hair or highlights to give you a completely natural appearance.
Pick the Thickness
"Hair density" is a term that describes the thickness of the hair. Your goal is to match the fullness of your own hair. Too thin, it can look sparse, not blending well with your own hair. Too thick, it can look too dense, looking fake. Below is a helpful video for you to choose a proper hair density.

FAQs
Should I go for a stock hair system or a custom hair system?
Stock systems cost less and have shorter waiting time. They are best suited for beginners who are experimenting with the experience. Custom systems offer a perfect fit and individualized style, but a longer production time. If you want ultimate realism and a unique style, a custom hair system is an excellent choice.
How long does a custom hairpiece last?
How long your custom hairpiece lasts depends on the type of base and maintenance. It usually lasts from one month to six months. Your daily use and lifestyle will also impact how long your hairpiece will last.
Do I need to buy multiple custom hairpieces?
Having multiple hair pieces allows you to rotate them, which reduces daily wear and extends the durability of each piece. With the Lordhair sale of custom hair systems, you can enjoy special discounts if you buy two hairpieces. It offers you the advantage of changing your look whenever you want. It is a smart choice to buy multiple hairpieces for longevity, value, and versatility.
How long will it take for me to receive the custom hair system?
A custom hair system typically takes 8–12 weeks to produce, plus an extra 5–7 working days for shipping. If you want it faster, you can choose rush service, which will usually take 6-7 weeks for production.
What should I do if the hair system I purchase doesn't fit?
Lordhair offers a 30-day production and quality warranty for our users. You can request a return within 30 days after receiving the hair system if it is unused and in its original condition. For detailed instructions on returns of custom hair systems, refer to Lordhair Return Policy.
