Not at conversational distance, and not in daylight — provided the system is colour-matched, the lace is trimmed correctly, and the front edge is glued, not taped. Two details usually give a system away: a visible knot line at the part, and a hard lace edge at the forehead. Every system on this page is built to eliminate both (V-looped knots and feathered French lace).

0.06 mm ultra-thin skin: 1–2 months of daily wear. French lace and lace+PU hybrids: 2–4 months. Lifespan depends on adhesive choice, sweat exposure, and how often you reattach. Many customers rotate two systems and double the runway.

Yes, but expect a learning curve on the first three installs. Most first-timers start with a hybrid base (lace front + PU back) because the PU is more forgiving than thin skin. We include written and video application guides with every order. If you'd rather have a stylist do it, a local salon visit is usually $30–60.

Showering and gym sweat, yes — with the right adhesive. Pool and ocean swimming reduce hold time. Many customers do a daily attachment (peel off at night) for active lifestyles, or a long-term bond (2–4 weeks) if they want a fully passive wear.

US Stock items ship same-day on orders placed before 2pm PT (Mon–Fri), with 2–5 day delivery in the lower 48. Non-US-Stock items ship from our manufacturing facility in 5–10 business days. Every product card on this page tells you which stock location it's in.

Unworn, uncut systems are exchangeable for 30 days. Once a system is cut, lifted, or trimmed it's no longer returnable — so we strongly recommend a colour-match consultation before you order if you're unsure. Email a daylight photo of your existing hair to support and we'll confirm the match before we ship.
