01

Myth 1: 'It falls off in the rain'

Medical-grade adhesive is fully waterproof once cured. It survives rain, showers, pools and sweat.

02

Myth 2: 'It damages your real hair'

Nothing in the process touches your follicles. Real hair grows normally underneath.

03

Myth 3: 'People will notice'

A hand-ventilated lace hairline is undetectable at conversation distance and in most photos.

04

Myth 4: 'It's only for older men'

Our youngest client is 21. Hair loss doesn't ask permission by age.

05

Myth 5: 'It's uncomfortable'

Ultra-light bases weigh under 40g. Most clients forget they're wearing it within a week.

06

Myth 6: 'You can never swim'

You can. Rinse fresh water after chlorine, and follow standard care.

07

Myth 7: 'Synthetic hair looks the same'

It doesn't — synthetic tangles, shines unnaturally and can't be heat-styled.

08

Myth 8: 'It's a permanent commitment'

It's the opposite — fully reversible any time.

09

Myth 9: 'A transplant is always better'

A transplant is a valid choice for some cases. It isn't automatically better. Read our comparison guide.
