As a beginner, you may feel overwhelmed by the wide range of hair replacement systems available on the market. Although the basic materials used for stock and custom hairpieces are the same, there are many differences between them. Today, we will compare stock hair systems and custom hair systems to help you decide which option is best for you.
What is a Stock Hair Replacement System?
With years of experience in the hair industry, we have carefully selected various stock hairpieces in different colors and sizes to meet the needs and demands of most of our customers. Typically, stock hair systems come in default base sizes such as 8”x10”, 7”x9”, or 6”x10”. This means that when you receive the hairpiece, it is usually not ready to wear directly out of the box. Since everyone has different areas of hair loss, you should trim the base and cut the hair to your size. Whether it’s skin base, lace, or a combination of different base materials, we offer a wide variety of hairpieces that are popular among both wholesale and retail customers.
Advantages:
Available: As these are stock hair units, they are typically always in stock in our warehouse. This means you can place an order and expect it to ship within 24 hours.
Affordable : One of the biggest advantages of stock hair systems is that they are very affordable. You can purchase a human hair hairpiece for less than $300 at superhairsystem.com.
Returnable: Not satisfied with the stock hairpiece you ordered? Want to change the color? You can return it! Please refer to our return policy.
Disadvantages:
Not a Perfect Match: Because stock hairpieces are mass-produced, they may not fit everyone’s head shape, hairline, or personal preferences perfectly.
Limited Options: While there is some information available to help with your choice, the options are limited, and you can only select from a few basic choices.
What is a Custom Hair Replacement System?
A custom hair system is a personalized hairpiece made to your specific requirements, perfectly catering to your needs and desires. You have full control over everything, including base size, base structure, hair color, hair length, hair density, and more. This means that when you open the box, the hairpiece is ready to wear!
Advantages:
Natural Appearance: A custom hair system can be tailored to your needs, including color, density, length, and texture, to perfectly match your natural hair for a more authentic look.
Comfort: Since it’s made to order, the hairpiece is designed to fit your scalp type and hair characteristics, maximizing comfort.
Disadvantages:
Higher Price: The custom men’s hairpieces production process requires more time and effort, so it is usually more expensive than stock hairpieces.
Longer Wait Time: Because it is made to your specific needs, the production process can take several weeks or longer.
Non-Returnable: All custom orders are considered final sales and are non-returnable or exchangeable.

For beginners, we recommend starting with a stock hair system. Since you’re still unfamiliar with hairpieces, and there is a learning curve with hair systems, you may need a few weeks to get used to wearing a hairpiece and learn how to install, remove, and maintain it. Trying different hair systems is the best way to find which one suits you. In this case, a stock hair system is ideal. It’s affordable and can be delivered much faster than a custom system.Once you have gained more experience with hairpieces and are ready to design your own, that’s the ideal time to order a custom hair system.
For experienced wearers, there’s no doubt that a custom hair system is the best choice. They have a good understanding of hair systems and know exactly what additional features are needed to create the perfect hairpiece. The ultra-natural look that a perfect hair system provides can significantly boost your confidence.
