Repair order: add hair
Repair order: add hair is a service for existing HairNotion hair systems, wigs, toppers or extensions that need additional hair added to the crown, sides or back. The service uses Indian Remy human hair or Mongolian virgin hair, depending on the original unit's hair type, and matches the length, texture, density and colour exactly. The hair is hand-attached to the existing base using the same method as the original construction, whether that is welded mono, lace, skin or fish net. This repair extends the life of a worn unit without replacing the entire base, which is useful when the original base is still in good condition but the hair has thinned or been shortened through styling and washing.
