The highest quality custom hand-made systems are manufactured with these soft feel foundations as illustrated below, and other types of any designs you provide will be perfectly duplicated or improved on.
The basic structure of an hairpiece can be broken down into the following components and customers can always mix and match the different variables within each component to create their ideal hairpiece:
For base we mean the material on which the hair of the hairpiece has been incorporated. Everyone has a different lifestyle and consequently there are several different types of bases:
Hairsetup offers you a choice of different materials:
Lace is the most undetectable material used in hair systems today as it virtually disappears into your scalp once placed onto your head.
SFS Super Fine Swiss Lace is the thinnest and most delicate lace available. Although it can be used as a base, it is more recommended for the front hairline.
#18 Swiss Lace is a little thicker than the SFS Super Fine Swiss and therefore more durable, but it still does disappear onto the scalp very well.
#64 French Lace is a good choice for the base as it is very durable and has good disappearing qualities on the front hairline as well.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|
Most natural, breathable and comfortable | Delicate material |
Undetectable when glued properly onto the scalp | Short lifespan of about 6 months |
Lace is a neutral-colored woven material that is so fine that when placed against skin, it seems to disappear, creating the appearance that the hair is really growing right out of your scalp.
Extra Fine Swiss
French
Note how the French and Extra-Fine Swiss virtually disappear when pressed flush against the skin.
French Lace: For most people, especially new wearers, French Lace is your best choice. It is durable and quite invisible against skin. Also known as #64 lace.
Extra-Fine Swiss Lace: Extra-Fine Swiss Lace is even more invisible than French Lace. It is also more delicate and requires a bit more care. This is the best lace for an undetectable hairline.

like a 20 year old
Each hair is single-hair hand-knotted. This system can be delivered within 5 week or less!
Density : Extra Light
Ventilation : Bleached, single knots
Standing Order : Full Lace - 6 months to 8 months - disposables
Thinskin is a very thin skin-like material that can be used as a base and for the front hairline, and looks very natural when hair is injected into it.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|
Easier maintenance when used with tapes and strong adhesives | Less breathable than lace |
Natural front hairline | Less natural than lace in the front hairline |
Longer life span (8-12 months) | Cannot accept hair density of over 85% |
Polyskin is a thin permeable skin-like material which is thicker and more durable than Thinskin and can therefore be used for heavier hair densities. It looks very natural with hair Injected and knotted into it but is easier to detect to the touch than Thinskin.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|
Easier maintenance when used with tapes and strong adhesives | Less breathable than lace |
Accepts heavier hair densities | More detectable to the touch than Thinskin |
Ideal for extended wear | Less natural than Thinskin in the front hairline |
Longest life span (1-2 years) |

Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|
Very breathable | Less natural to the touch than lace |

Good Life span (1 year) | Less natural than lace in the front hairline |
Hair knots don't need to be bleached |
Monofilament is a good base choice for a higher-density system. It is stiffer than lace and holds its shape very well. You cannot use Mono for an exposed hairline, but you can add a lace front onto a Mono base.
