In this article, we're going to explain why you can go for a short cut with a hair prosthesis and why it's important not to cut too short.
Undetectable hair prostheses give you lots of flexibility when it comes to styles and cuts. A short cut can look stylish, be easy to maintain, and give a natural and lively appearance. Still, to get the best results, there are a few things to think about.
One of the main reasons it's not recommended to go for a very short cut is the join between the hair prosthesis and your natural hair.
If the hair is cut too short, the join can become visible, which might affect the natural look of the prosthesis.
A minimum length of 2 to 3 cm is needed to hide this join and keep everything looking smooth.
Hair prostheses need to be properly secured to stay in place and look natural.
With very short hair, it can be harder to secure the prosthesis right up to your hairline, which might make it move around or look less natural.
Very short cuts need regular maintenance to keep their shape and look. Also, we suggest reducing the prosthesis density for a short cut, since the usual 100% density can make it look bulky once the hair is cut.
It might be trickier to adjust and style a hair prosthesis with very short hair, which could take more time and effort.
Before going for a short cut, it's a good idea to talk to a hair prosthesis specialist who can guide you based on the look you want.
The specialist can give you advice on the minimum length needed for a smooth transition and help you pick a style that fits your face and needs.
Go for a hair length that covers the spot where the prosthesis meets your natural hair.
If the cut is too short, that spot might show and ruin the natural look of your hairstyle.
To keep your short cut looking awesome, use high-quality hair products made for hair prostheses.
This includes special shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that won’t damage your hair system.
You can totally go for a short haircut with a hair prosthesis, but don’t cut it too short if you want it to look natural and keep the hairpiece secure. If you take your stylist’s advice and look after your hair system, you’ll enjoy an easy-to-maintain, stylish short look.
