The Search for Hair Loss Solutions

For decades, wigs and hair systems have been the go-to fix for men and women struggling with hair loss. While they can provide temporary coverage, they come with limitations — high maintenance, high cost, and the fear of being “found out.” SMP has quickly become the modern alternative, offering a permanent, natural-looking solution.

Wigs & Hair Systems: Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Immediate coverage

• Works for advanced hair loss
  

Cons:

• High maintenance — adhesives, cleaning, styling

• Expensive (thousands per year in upkeep)

• Risk of slipping or being noticed

• Can cause irritation or damage to the scalp
  

SMP: Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Non-invasive, no downtime

• Permanent results for 4–6 years

• Affordable compared to ongoing wig costs

• Sweat-proof, swim-proof, worry-free

• Looks natural in all lighting and angles
  

Cons:

• Doesn’t create actual hair (it’s a pigment illusion)

• Requires touch-ups every few years
  

Cost Comparison

• Hair system: $3,000–$6,000 annually in upkeep

• SMP: $2,000–$4,000 total, with touch-ups every few years The difference is clear: SMP is a one-time investment that saves thousands over time.
