The basic components that are common to any popular hair restoration system include a base material, a perimeter material, and a frontal material. Sometimes they are produced from the same material and the most common choices for it are skin (layers of silicone and polyurethane), lace, and Fine Welded Mono. Then the hair is either injected or knotted into these components.

Many popular systems are marked up in price significantly from their basic costs. Because of this, companies who can deliver replicas of popular and pricey hair restoration systems are becoming the more affordable option.
