Are you interested in hair systems and not sure which system is right for you? French lace, Swiss lace or foil system? There are countless terms buzzing around and you're trying to find clarity. You've come to the right place, here are the answers!
What is meant by lace?
In German, the word lace is translated as Spitze, but it is not very common. In any case, it refers to the base that comes into direct contact with your head. The lace is a net into which the hair is knotted.
Regardless of the system, the base is breathable and permeable to air. Water and sweat can pass through naturally and the skin underneath can breathe.
Now there are three different systems for the base, each of which has its own characteristics. In principle, there is not one system for everyone, but there are advantages and disadvantages of each system, which balance each other out, which is why all three systems are used.
What is the difference between a lace and a foil system for hair systems?
A lace system consists of a fine net into which the hair is knotted. The foil system, on the other hand, consists of a very thin foil, as the name suggests. Although a foil system is more delicate, it is also more invisible. The lace system in turn can be divided into two systems, namely French and Swiss lace.
What is French lace?
French Lace is somewhat stronger in structure than Swiss Lace. The stitches in this system tend to be tighter than in the Swiss system, which makes it very robust. The disadvantage is that it is also a little heavier than Swiss Lace. French Lace is very tightly woven, which results in a high hair density. This system is particularly suitable for men with high-volume hair.
What is Swiss Lace?
Although Swiss Lace is somewhat lighter than French Lace, it also has a somewhat more fragile structure, which subsequently has an effect on its durability. The system is produced with a coarse mesh, making it almost invisible. Men with thinner hair can safely use a Swiss Lace System. The big advantage is that it adapts better to the scalp.
Both systems are very permeable to air and therefore breathable. Which system is chosen depends on many factors such as hairstyle, hair density and level of experience.
What is a foil system?
In a film system, the base consists of a thin film made of polyurethane. This is basically invisible and stretchable. However, a foil system is not as hard-wearing as a lacing system.
What do French lace, Swiss lace and the foil system have in common?
The three systems differ slightly, but also have similarities. The durability of a hair system, regardless of the base, depends heavily on the stress and care it receives. Just like your own hair, the hairpiece is stressed by too much sun, dust or salt water. Regular care with mild shampoo and conditioner will keep the hairpiece fresh and velvety shiny for a long time and increase its lifespan. It is highly advisable to use care products specially developed for hair systems in order to extend their durability as much as possible.
Which system is best for me?
This is a question that men in particular ask themselves when they want to use a hair system for the first time. First of all, you can ask yourself a few questions: What hair density do I naturally have? Would I rather have a short or long hairstyle? Do I have an intensive lifestyle and do I carry out a lot of activities that tend to put a strain on my hair? All these questions are worth asking at the beginning. However, it is also no problem to change the system. The important thing is that you get good advice at the beginning.
