Hair System Maintenance and Regrooms

A hair system looks its best when it is looked after. Regular maintenance keeps the bond secure, the hairline clean and the hair in good condition, and it makes each system last longer. At our salon near Bristol we call these maintenance appointments regrooms.

What happens at a regroom

At a regroom we carefully remove your system, clean and condition the hair, remove the old adhesive or tape from the base, clean your scalp, and re-bond the system in place. Depending on the service you choose, we can also cut and blow-dry it, refresh the colour and restyle it so it blends with your own hair as it grows.

How often you need one

Most clients come in every three to six weeks. Bonded systems usually need refreshing every two to four weeks depending on the adhesive or tape you use, how active you are and how quickly your own hair grows. We will recommend a routine at your fitting and adjust it once we see how your system wears.

Regroom prices

Regrooms start from £55 for removal, washing, a scalp treatment, re-bonding and styling. Adding a cut takes it to £65, colour to £70, and both to £85. Full details are on our prices page.

Looking after it at home

Between appointments, gentle washing with a sulphate-free shampoo, conditioning and careful styling all help your system last. If you would like to maintain it yourself, we can supply the tapes, adhesives and care products you need.

When to replace your system

Every system eventually wears out. Fine lace and ultra-thin skin bases usually last one to three months, while thicker skin, monofilament and hybrid bases often last four to six months or more. Many clients keep a spare in rotation so they are never without one, and we can reorder your bespoke system from your existing template so the replacement matches.
