Have you ever read reviews that say, “I wish I had installed a hair system one shade lighter, or this hair system is way more bulky than I had thought of it”? If yes, all these situations are the outcomes of avoiding some of the most common men’s hair system mistakes. 

We’ve all seen those guys walking around with hair systems that look better than natural hair. And then there are those guys who look like they have stuck their old wig on with super glue. 

So, what is their secret? What is going wrong? Trust us, we have been in this game for a long time and have seen the good, the bad, and the worst as well.

The sad part is that most individuals make the same mistakes over and over again. This has now started to look like someone trying to spread frozen butter on bread- painful to watch but easy to fix.

This guide will discuss 10 common men’s hair system blunders and how to avoid them. From selecting the wrong hair colour to forgetting about proper maintenance, there are many ways to end up with a look that forces you to wonder, “What should I do now with my hair system?”

Simply avoid hair system mistakes and let the hair system do its job without anyone noticing it’s really there! 

10 Common Men’s Hair System Mistakes to Avoid

Here is a list of the top 10 common hairpiece mistakes that can severely damage the hair system. 

There are also ways given here that prevent hair system damage caused by mistakes. Stick around!

1) Opting for the wrong colour and density

Who does not like a natural-looking hair system? We all do, right? But to achieve that natural look, it is important to first understand the hues of our natural (original) colour palette and then choose a hair system. 

If you are unsure about your hair colour, you can consult a hair expert and can ask for hair system colour ring. Then, you can do a proper colour match and easily avoid such men’s hair system mistakes. 

One of the frequent hair system mistakes people have is that the thicker the hair is, the better. NO! This is not the case.

The truth is just the opposite. Choosing the right density for your age is really important to have a natural and undetectable look.

So, when choosing the density, make sure it matches your existing hair on the sides and back.

Opt for the medium light density if you are in your twenties or thirties and lighter densities if you are above forty.

Of course, if you like thick, trendy hairstyles, you can also choose a medium density of 100%—110%.

2) Using the wrong type of products

When it comes to addressing one of the most common men’s hair system mistakes, one of the ones we see often is using the wrong type of hair system care product!

This mistake is much easier to make often, so it’s important to double-check any products with your hairstylist about what and how to use them on your hair system.

3) Relying on a single hairpiece

The problem begins when you only purchase a single hair system. 

Think it out: What will you do if you do not have a spare hair system when cleaning men’s hairpieces? Proper hair system cleaning requires time, time for drying, and time for cleaning, and in this case, if you rely on that one hair system, then, unfortunately, you have to sit at home!

4) Improper blending of hair system

This step comes in when you practice DIY things at home. We suggest not doing it and contacting a professional for the same, and this is the best practice for hair systems. 

Take the hair system to a hair studio to get it done how you want it, ensuring that the hair system is correctly blended with your hairline & hair. 

Approach a hairstylist like us who is an expert in blending hair systems with your natural hair & with all the proper techniques.

5) Excessive lace cutting

One of the most common mistakes to avoid with men’s hair system is to stop cutting the lace if you do not possess the knowledge to do the same.

When you cut the lace yourself, you might cut the overall line of the hair system, making it seem unnatural.

6) Choosing stock hair system over customisation

When you choose a stock hair system, you will not get something that speaks to you. Because stock hair systems may not fit everyone perfectly, and the hair colour and texture may not match the wearer’s natural hair exactly.

A custom hair system is the best. You will learn how it fits by making your own template and deciding the colour, fit, style, and density—everything will be of your choice only!

7) Improper use of hair-system tape

Hair system tapes are the best only if they are used properly. Using too much tape can cause an unsightly residue and make wearing the hair system unpleasant. 

Our selection of hair system tape is of the same excellent quality as the rest of our hair system care items and is clearly labelled for its many applications.

8) Adopting DIY cutting

Do not indulge in this practice and reach out to a professional rather than attempting to cut your hair system unless you have experience doing the same.

This is one of the most common men’s hair system mistakes people make with their hair systems!

9) Forgetting natural hair

If you have hair underneath your hair system, caring for both types of hair becomes essential.

Doing this will allow you to take good care of your original hair. 

The course of action is simple: remove the hair system properly at night, wash your hair, and apply products as needed!

10) Using a hair system in too much heat

If you do not protect your hair system from heat, it will damage it, making it dry and causing tangles.

Heat also plays a major role in fading hair systems. Too much heat can weaken the adhesive bonds and cause them to melt. Learning and understanding hair system longevity tips is better when you are out in that hot heat.
