What is a frontal hair patch made to do?
A frontal patch rebuilds the visible front without covering an unaffected crown. Fine lace or thin polyurethane is commonly chosen at the leading edge, with human hair ventilated in a graduated pattern. The template records width and depth in centimetres, hairline shape, density and direction.
| Specification | What to record |
|---|---|
| Coverage | Front width × depth in cm |
| Base | Lace, skin or hybrid front |
| Density | Matched against side and top hair |
| Attachment | Tape, liquid adhesive or clips where suitable |
| Price | From ₹6,000 fitted |
| Durability | TODO: verified studio client records |
Fit
Who does a hairline patch suit?
It can suit recession concentrated at the front when hair behind and beside the piece remains usable for blending. It is less suitable when the thinning area extends well into the crown, the scalp is actively inflamed, or the wearer wants a density the surrounding hair cannot support.
The hairline should be agreed before attachment. Age, forehead proportions and existing temple points matter more than copying a celebrity photograph exactly.
Neighbouring options
How does a frontal patch compare with a full top system?
A frontal patch uses less coverage and preserves unaffected hair, but its front edge receives close visual scrutiny. A front-to-crown system covers more progressive loss and offers a continuous density, while requiring a larger prepared area and broader maintenance commitment.
| Choice | Coverage | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Frontal patch | Hairline and front only | Loss is concentrated at the front |
| Front-to-crown system | Longer top section | Thinning continues through the mid-scalp |
| Full-top patch | Most of the top | Broad top loss needs one consistent blend |
Common questions
What else should you know?
These answers cover practical starting points in 40–60 words. A stylist can explain fitting and care; a dermatologist should assess symptoms, allergies, scalp disease or unexplained hair loss.
How often does a bonded hair patch need servicing?+
Most bonded systems are checked, cleaned and reattached every 3–4 weeks. The interval can shorten with heavy sweating, oily skin, frequent helmet use or Kolkata’s humid monsoon weather. Your stylist should set the first interval after seeing how your scalp and chosen attachment behave.
Can a hair patch be removed again?+
Yes. A bonded system is reversible and is removed during servicing with products suited to the adhesive and base. A clip-on system can usually be removed daily. Pulling or using household solvents can damage the base, natural hair or scalp, so ask for a removal demonstration.
Can a frontal patch cover both temples?+
It can be templated to span the front and temple recessions when the remaining side hair gives a workable blend. A very low, straight or overly dense front can appear artificial. The stylist should agree the shape in millimetres before trimming or attaching the system.
