Alternative Hair vs Hair Extensions

The Best Alternative Hair for You

Once you’ve accepted that you deserve a nonsurgical hair loss solution, it’s easy to get consumed by your research into various options. You want a seamless and effortless solution, but it seems like every alternative hair system claims to be the best for you. On top of that, the technical jargon used by many companies can be hard to decipher.

Today, we’re breaking down the differences between alternative hair and hair extensions and how to know which is best for you. It’s true that both are great options, but each is best suited to a particular situation and hair type. By the time you’re done reading, you’ll have a much clearer understanding of the best alternative hair system for your specific needs.

Is Alternative Hair Right For Me?

Alternative hair may be right for you if your hair is severely thinning and you’re looking to add density, volume, and length. The great thing about an alternative hair like the CNC by Cesare Ragazzi is the amount of customization available to you.

Some people hear the words “alternative hair” and think immediately of shaving their entire head bald, in order to glue on a high-maintenance hair piece. But Cesare Ragazzi uses modern technology to completely revolutionize what an alternative hair can be.

The CNC can be used as a full or partial hair replacement system, and doesn’t require shaving your head. Instead, we use 3D scanning and printing technology to hand-craft the perfect system for your one-of-a-kind hair and scalp.

Your custom CNC is made of a breathable, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and hypoallergenic “second skin” material. Natural, unprocessed, well-conditioned human hair is hand-applied to the second skin in Bologna, Italy. Once complete, your system is sent to us at the salon.

You’ll have an appointment where we apply your CNC using a dermatologist-tested medical grade adhesive. Because the hair is all natural and healthy human hair, we can also trim and style to your heart’s desire.

At the end of your appointment, you’re free to live your life! Shower, go for a swim, travel, and sleep without having to remove or prep your hair in any way. Picture living a truly normal life without having to fuss with lace front wigs, synthetic hair, or toppers of any kind. This low-maintenance alternative hair system will help you look and feel your absolute best 24/7.

Are Hair Extensions Right for Me?

Hair extensions may be right for you if you’re looking to add volume and length, and you have enough natural hair to support the extensions. When you’re comparing alternative hair to hair extensions, your natural hair density is the biggest deciding factor.

Because hair extensions are bonded to your natural hair instead of your scalp, your hair must be at or above a certain thickness. If your hair has thinned to the point that you’re below this threshold, we’ll recommend the CNC alternative hair instead.

Your CNC XT hair extensions are made very similarly to how Cesare Ragazzi makes the CNC alternative hair. First your stylist will take precise measurements of your hair and scalp, plus samples of your hair. The measurements and samples are sent to Bologna, Italy, and used to hand-craft hair extensions customized especially for you.

Just like the CNC, the CNC XT hair extensions are made with natural, healthy, unprocessed human hair. Even better, these extensions are applied in a way that won’t cause additional damage or hair thinning.

From the shape of your head to your hair’s color and wave pattern, your extensions will seamlessly blend with your natural hair and scalp. They’re a fantastic way for women to add volume and length to their hair without exacerbating the thinning.

And thanks to state-of-the-art technology, you don’t have to compromise with CNC XT hair extensions. Cesare Ragazzi systems are the world’s most advanced nonsurgical hair loss solutions! You’re able to swim, shower, exercise, wear buns/ponytails, and do anything else you can imagine without any special preparation.
