The rise of men’s hair loss worldwide and demand for solutions has some men flying all over the world to try painful and risky surgical options. It is the reason we have joined so many companies specializing in add-on hair to offer safe non-surgical options.
But once you have been fitted and have your Perfect Locks Men’s Hair Unit…then what? According to the 2019/2020 report released from Google on grooming and beauty trends, there were 6% more searches on men’s hair than women’s hair, including searching for man weaves! To make that unit believable you need just the right hairstyle that suits your face, so we rounded 4 recommendations for you or a loved one that will be a perfect match!
The Right Style: Oblong Faces
Characteristics of an oblong face shape: face longer than it is wide, often rounded jawline, cheekbones and jaw the same width.
For this face shape you don’t want the sides too short, and you need length on top. You just want a good balance, styling the hair towards the face. Think a modern greaser look or a cool quaff.
The Right Style: Oval Faces
Characteristics of an oval face shape: considered the ideal shape, slightly rounded jaw, no unusual characteristics, face shape resembles the shape of an egg.
If you have this facial shape, you already have well-balanced proportions so you can try pretty much any haircut with any shape or length. Long bangs in the front though can make your face appear round, so avoid those and opt for a squared off cut with level sides and top. A pompadour hairstyle with your hair unit will look amazing.
The Right Style: Round Faces
Characteristics of a round face shape: jawline is round, face almost as wide as tall, round cheekbones.
With a round face you want to enhance and hide certain features and areas, so a hairstyle with height and volume can elongate the face and make it look less round. Sharp bangs should be avoided as it will make your face appear rounder, instead go for piecey texture with an off-center part.
The Right Style: Heart Faces
Characteristics of a heart face shape: cheekbones are widest part of the face, the face is wider than it is long, the chin is noticeably pointed.
With a heart shaped face you want to keep your hairstyle slightly longer and go for a haircut that will balance our your face shape. A messy hairstyle that covers your forehead will make your face appear a little smaller. Make sure to use water soluble styling product with your hair system.

Hair Systems and Extensions for Men: What to Know
"Men's hair loss solutions have improved dramatically - the stigma is reducing and the quality of hair systems has improved enormously. The same principles that apply to women's extensions apply here: quality of hair, proper color match, and the right attachment method for your lifestyle."
- Priyanka Swamy, Founder of Perfect Locks
Men's Hair Unit Options
Full hair systems: A base (lace, polyurethane, or mono) with human hair attached that covers the entire area of loss. Attached with adhesive or tape for a secure, daily-wear result. Human hair systems can be styled, cut, and treated like natural hair.
Partial pieces/toppers: For men with thinning at the crown or top rather than complete loss, a partial piece covers the affected area while natural hair at the sides and back remains. These blend more naturally because the real hairline is preserved.
Integration systems: A base with openings that allows natural hair to be pulled through, blending the system with existing hair. Used when there's still some natural hair throughout the affected area.
Choosing the Right Base Material
Lace base: Lightest, most breathable, most natural-looking hairline. Best for men who prioritize a natural appearance and are comfortable with the maintenance of lace. Requires adhesive for secure attachment.
Polyurethane (skin) base: More durable, easier to clean, very secure adhesive bond. Less breathable than lace but more beginner-friendly for daily wear.
Monofilament base: The most natural scalp appearance of all base types. Each hair is individually hand-tied to allow natural movement in all directions. Higher cost but the most realistic result.
Color and Texture Matching for Men
The same principles apply as for women's extensions: photograph natural hair in daylight, identify both depth and undertone, and request a consultation before committing to a purchase. Gray blending - matching a system to hair that's transitioning to gray - requires specific expertise. Our team handles color consultations for men's hair systems with the same care as women's extension consultations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a men's hair unit?
A men's hair unit (also called a hair system or hairpiece) is a non-surgical hair replacement solution consisting of a base material with human or synthetic hair attached. It covers areas of hair loss and is secured with adhesive, tape, or integration with existing hair. Modern human hair systems are virtually undetectable and can be styled, cut, and worn daily.
How long does a men's hair system last?
A quality human hair system lasts 6-12 months with proper care. The base typically determines longevity - lace bases are more delicate and may need replacing sooner than polyurethane or monofilament bases. The hair itself, if human Remy quality, remains in good condition longer than the base. Regular professional maintenance (reattachment, cleaning, minor repairs) extends lifespan significantly.
