How To Custom Make Your Hair System: Measure And Make a Template

The foundation of a perfect custom hair system is accurate sizing. Ill-fitting bases lead to discomfort, poor blending, and an unnatural appearance, so this step is non-negotiable.

How to Measure & Make a Template

1. Prep your hair: Push your existing hair away from the hair loss area and secure it with clips.

2. Trace the hair loss zone: Use a flexible measuring tape to note the length and width of the area you want to cover. For full precision, create a physical template:

◦ Place a thin plastic film over your head and secure it with tape.

◦ Trace the exact outline of your hair loss area, hairline, parting, and crown position.

◦ Mark the front, back, and sides for clarity, then send the template to your hair system provider.

Most reputable brands offer template guides, and some even provide professional measuring support to avoid mistakes.
