YOUR HAIR-REPLACEMENT GUIDE
The right fit begins
with the right information.
Use this guide to prepare for your consultation and learn about sizing, density, hair-unit bases, cap construction, and possible insurance benefits.
03 — HAIR UNIT SYSTEMS
Choose the base that fits your lifestyle.
Hair-unit bases differ in ventilation, durability, cleanup, attachment options, and how short the finished style can be cut. Your scalp condition, activity level, climate, desired style, and maintenance routine all matter.
PU / POLY SKIN
Durable and easier to clean
Advantages
- Smooth surface makes adhesive and tape cleanup more manageable
- Strong attachment area and good resistance to moisture
- Can provide a secure, close fit with proper professional application
Considerations
- Less breathable and may feel warmer or heavier in hot climates
- Thicker edges can limit how low the surrounding hair should be cut
- May be more detectable if the base is exposed
LACE BASE
Lightweight and breathable
Advantages
- Better airflow for active clients and warmer climates
- Allows a natural scalp appearance when properly selected and installed
- Supports lower, closely blended finished styles
Considerations
- Delicate mesh requires gentle removal, cleaning, and daily care
- Adhesive can be more involved to clean from lace
- Fraying, stretching, or exposed mesh may occur if the base is mishandled
Q6-STYLE HYBRID
Breathability with a secure perimeter
Advantages
- Lace through the front or center improves airflow and scalp realism
- PU sides and back provide durable areas for tape or adhesive
- A practical option for many active clients who want balanced performance
Considerations
- The PU areas remain less breathable and should not be cut extremely low
- Different materials require careful, section-specific cleanup
- Construction varies by vendor, so the exact base should be reviewed before purchase
Service timing: Many professionally bonded units are serviced about every two to four weeks. The right schedule depends on scalp health, perspiration, climate, activity, adhesive, home care, and the specific unit. A consultation is required before choosing a base or wear schedule.
01 — SIZING
How to Determine Your Size
The right wig size is essential for a comfortable, secure fit. A wig that is too large may slide or leave gaps near the ear tabs. A wig that is too small may feel tight and can cause discomfort or headaches.
Before You Begin
- Use a soft fabric measuring tape.
- Have a pen and paper ready.
- Flatten your natural hair and pull it into a low ponytail, if applicable.
Lightly rest the tape against your head—do not pull or stretch it. Begin at your natural front hairline, wrap the tape around the back of your head at the bend of your neck, and return to the starting point.
02 — DENSITY & FULLNESSWig Density Guide
Use this guide to understand how density affects fullness and how many bundles may be required based on your desired length.
| Wig Density | Description | 10"–16" | 18"–30" |
|---|---|---|---|
| 130% | Average density, standard for most wigs | 1 bundle | 1.5 bundles |
| 150%* | Medium density, slightly fuller than average | 1.5 bundles | 2 bundles |
| 180%** | Heavy density, full and thick appearance | 2 bundles | 3 bundles |
| 200% | Very heavy density, voluminous and glamorous | 3 bundles | 4 bundles |
| 220% | Extremely heavy density, ultra-full and dramatic | 4 bundles or more | 5 bundles or more |
* Premade wigs: Standard 150% density.
** Custom wigs: Much fuller than premade wigs and standard at 180% density.
Texture tip: Curly, wavy, and kinky-textured hair expands when combed out and appears thicker. Silky-straight textures have less volume and fullness.
04 — TYPES OF HAIR LOSS
Understanding Medical Hair Loss
Hair loss can be temporary, progressive, treatment-related, or permanent. The pattern and cause matter, so a qualified healthcare provider or dermatologist should evaluate new, sudden, painful, or unexplained hair loss.
Cancer Treatment–Related
Certain chemotherapy medicines and radiation directed to the head may cause partial or complete hair loss. Regrowth varies by treatment and individual.
Alopecia Areata
An autoimmune condition that commonly creates smooth, round patches. Alopecia totalis affects the entire scalp, while alopecia universalis affects the scalp and body.
Scarring Alopecia
Inflammation can damage follicles and replace them with scar tissue. Examples include central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), frontal fibrosing alopecia, and lichen planopilaris.
Pattern Hair Loss
Androgenetic alopecia may appear as gradual thinning, a widening part, or recession around the temples and hairline.
Postpartum & Stress Shedding
Telogen effluvium can cause increased shedding after childbirth, serious illness, surgery, major stress, rapid weight change, or another physical trigger.
Traction Alopecia
Repeated tension from tight braids, ponytails, extensions, locs, or similar styles can thin the hairline and may permanently damage follicles over time.
Trichotillomania
A mental health condition involving recurring urges to pull out hair, often leaving irregular areas of breakage or loss. Compassionate behavioral-health support can help.
Burns, Injury & Surgery
Burns, wounds, surgical procedures, or other trauma to the scalp may interrupt growth temporarily or permanently when follicles are scarred.
Hormonal & Health Conditions
Thyroid disorders, hormonal changes, autoimmune illness, anemia, and nutritional deficiencies can contribute to thinning or shedding.
Medicines & Infections
Some medications and scalp infections may lead to hair loss. A provider can identify the cause and discuss appropriate treatment.
Education, not diagnosis: These examples are not a complete list. TRU provides hair-replacement education and support; diagnosis and treatment belong with a licensed healthcare provider.
05 — CAP CONSTRUCTION
How to Choose a Cap
The base of your unit influences how natural it looks, how it feels on the scalp, and how much styling freedom you have. These four examples make the differences easy to see. During your consultation, we will help you match the right construction to your comfort, lifestyle, preferred parting, and desired wear time.
Full Lace Base
A lightweight lace foundation covers the entire cap, creating a realistic hairline and flexible parting throughout. It is a strong choice when natural movement and versatile styling are priorities.
Lace/Mono with Poly Edge
This combination pairs a breathable lace or monofilament center with a polyurethane perimeter. The center supports a natural look, while the smooth edge offers a secure area for tape or adhesive when needed.
Skin Base with Lace Front
A thin skin-style base provides durability and a close fit, while the lace front softens the hairline for a more natural finish. It offers a practical balance of realism, comfort, and everyday wear.
Full Skin Base
A smooth, ultra-thin base sits close to the scalp and creates a highly realistic appearance. Thickness affects softness, durability, and expected wear, so the best option depends on your personal needs.
Important: No single cap is best for everyone. Scalp sensitivity, attachment method, climate, daily routine, and maintenance preferences should all guide the final selection.
06 — COVERAGE
Using Medical Insurance
A cranial prosthesis is a hair-replacement unit prescribed for temporary or permanent hair loss related to a diagnosed health condition or treatment. Some health insurance plans may cover part or all of the cost when plan requirements are met.
Benefits, eligible diagnoses, documentation, reimbursement amounts, deductibles, and frequency limits vary by plan. Contact your insurer before purchasing and ask specifically about coverage for a cranial prosthesis. We can help you understand common documentation requirements, but coverage is never guaranteed.
Helpful reminderIf you plan to claim an out-of-pocket expense on your taxes, speak with a qualified tax professional first.

Book Your Cranial ConsultationFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers for your
cranial prosthesis journey.
Learn about fit, care, styling, insurance terminology, and possible tax considerations. Your insurer, healthcare provider, and tax professional remain the best sources for guidance specific to you.
What is the difference between a cranial prosthesis and a regular wig?
A cranial prosthesis is a medical device designed specifically for sensitive, hair-free scalps. Unlike standard fashion wigs, prostheses use hypoallergenic, medical-grade materials, advanced knotting to prevent scalp scraping, and custom head-molding for a secure fit without harsh glues.
Will my health insurance cover the cost of a cranial prosthesis?
Many insurance companies cover between 80% and 100% of the cost. However, coverage depends on your specific policy and requires a doctor’s prescription stating ‘cranial prosthesis’ along with a medical diagnosis code.
Why did my insurance claim get denied when I submitted it as a wig?
Insurance companies view ‘wigs’ as cosmetic, luxury items. To get approved, all documentation, invoices, and prescriptions must explicitly use the medical term ‘Cranial Prosthesis’ and include the correct healthcare billing codes (such as HCPCS code A9282).
Can I sleep or shower in my cranial prosthesis?
While some semi-permanent, medical-grade systems can be worn for weeks at a time, it is generally recommended to remove your prosthesis before sleeping or showering. Removing it extends the lifespan of the hair piece and allows your scalp to breathe.
How long does a medical cranial prosthesis last?
With proper care and maintenance, a high-quality human hair prosthesis typically lasts between 6 months to over a year. Synthetic options generally have a shorter lifespan of 4 to 6 months depending on daily wear and styling habits.
Can I style, color, or use heat on the prosthesis?
If your prosthesis is made from 100% human hair, you can safely use heat styling tools (like flat irons and curling wands) and customize the color. If it is synthetic, you must only use specialized low-heat or heat-friendly styling tools to prevent melting the fibers.
Is the cost of a cranial prosthesis tax-deductible?
Yes. If your insurance provider denies your claim or only offers partial coverage, the remaining out-of-pocket costs can be qualified as a tax-deductible medical expense, provided your total medical expenses exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
