Farrell Hair Replacement understands
the unique needs of African-American hair replacement
clients and we have conquered the challenge of all hair
loss situations. Browse through some of our Frequently
Asked Questions from African American hair loss sufferers
or take the time to ask your own.

Q: I have Alopecia to the extent that my front hairline
has receded back about 5 inches from my face.
Normally I wear wigs to compensate. Is it possible
for Farrell to replace those hairs around my face? |
|
A:
Wigs
do not work in the hairline
area. Replacing your
hairs around your hairline
is our specialty. The
hairs will look as if
they are growing out
from your scalp and you
will not need to wear
wigs anymore. |
|
|
Q: My stylist usually perms my natural hair and
then she attaches wefts to braids. I like the
style but my hair gets thinner each time I have
this done. I believe I have lost about 60% of
my hair. What are my options with Farrell? |
|
A: We need to see you in person in order to give
you an accurate assessment but we have a few options
for you. If your hair is as thin as you say but
you have a hairline, you might be able to wear
a system that sits behind your hairline. If your
hairline is too thin to use, we will replace those
hairs with a system that incorporates a lace front
hairline. In some cases a hair integration system
will allow us to use whatever hair you have left
to integrate with your system. In more cases than
not, it is best to shave your hair and wear a
Farrell system that will replace your hair back
to its original density. |
|
|
Q: I have never liked my natural nappy hair. I have
spent fortunes trying to make it look straight
with a wave. Over the years my beautician gets
the same results each time. I have patches of
Alopecia on the top and sides of my head. Can
you make a hair system on the top of my head that
will match those hairs that she straightened and
permed? |
|
A: We can match the results that your stylist
gets when she chemically treats your hair. It
is best that we design your hair systems after
you have had your servicing with your beautician.
Then we are able to see the results we need to
match. |
|
|
Q: I wear a hair system from another company. I
wash my hair once a week and my skin is very oily.
I take Aerobics and Pilates classes on a daily
basis and I am worried that your system will not
stay on my head. Is my fear justified? |
|
A: We
have an attachment method
for every situation.
You will probably need
to shampoo more frequently
and clean the lace front
adhesive more frequently.
We will teach you the
necessary techniques and
your systems will be
secure. |
|
|
Q: I am an African American male who likes to wear
braid designs. I have male pattern baldness on
half of my scalp. I want a system that matches
my braids. Can you do this? |
|
A: You might need to change the style of braids
you are wearing. Dreads, mini dreads and all types
of stand up braids work best. On the scalp, flat
braids need to be put in by an expert who does
not use extreme tension when he/she holds the
hair or the adhesive may not hold the edge of
the system to the scalp and the system's edge
may be visible if extreme tension is used. If
you are willing to experiment with different designs
you will have the best chance at success. A full
cap system can have any type of braid design without
worrying about the scenario I mentioned. |
|
|
Q: I am an African American woman and am currently
suffering from Tension Alopecia. My whole front
hairline is balding toward my ears. I would like
to know if you can customize my hairline where
I may be able to part it and also so I won't have
to wear a whole hair piece all over my head. |
| A: Farrell makes smaller hair systems that will
resolve your hair loss situation. |
|
|
Q: I have dark skin and the adhesives I have used
in the past are shiny tapes or glue that dries
to a white color and shows through the lace. Which
adhesive is recommended for attaching the lace
front to dark skin? |
|
A: Farrell's "The Blue" adhesive works
fine on any color skin, but don't use thick coats
of any adhesive. |
|
|
Q: Can I order a hair system in the color of 1-b,
meaning off black in African American hair texture?
Can I use a curling iron on the hair? |
|
A: We make many hair systems for African American
clients. You can style your hair system in any
manner, including with a curling iron. |
|
|
Q:
I
am a 40-year-old African-American
female who has experienced
hair loss over the years
from relaxing my hair.
What I want to know is:
Can I add density and
length that is combined
with my own natural hair,
that is undetectable
to the touch and can I
swim with it? Since my
hair does need relaxing,
how will this affect
the process? |
|
A: Hair integration hair systems will integrate
with your own hair in order to give you the length
and density you desire but they are detectable
to the touch. You would simply relax your hair
as much as necessary during periods when your
hair system is removed. |
