Biohair is a wig made to recreate the colour, length and style you've always worn. Here's what it involves and who it's for.
If you've spent time in hair loss communities, you may have come across the word biohair. Here's what it means, and why it matters to so many of the women we work with.
What does biohair mean?
Bio hair refers to natural hair that grows from the scalp. To us it means recreating the way you've always worn your hair — your colour, your length, your parting and your style. Rather than choosing a new look, the goal is for you to look in the mirror and simply see yourself.
Who is it for?
Biohair is often chosen by women facing hair loss who want as little visible change as possible — for themselves, their families, their workplaces or their children. It's especially popular with women preparing for chemotherapy, and those living with alopecia who'd like their wig to feel like an extension of who they've always been.
How we create a biohair piece
- We start with you. At your consultation we look at your hair as it is now, or at photos from before your hair loss began, and talk about how you like to wear it.
- We match your colour. Every wig we sell is coloured in-house, using formulas and techniques we've developed over more than ten years. That means we can recreate your natural tone, your highlights or your regrowth shade, rather than choosing the closest option off a shelf.
- We match your length and style. From where your hair sits on your shoulders to your usual part, we build the piece around how you actually wear your hair. Our lace fronts have a free part, so you can still part your hair where you always have.
- We get the fit right. A correctly sized cap is what makes a wig comfortable enough to wear every day.
The hair we use
Our human hair wigs are made from Brazilian hair, with each wig coming from just one or two donors. This keeps the texture and movement consistent from root to tip, so the hair behaves like your own. You can read more about how our wigs are made.
How long does it take?
Because each biohair piece is created for you, allow around six to eight weeks. If you're facing hair loss from treatment, we recommend getting in touch as early as you can, so your wig is ready before you need it.
