In this blog we'll be going through the process of attaching a men's hair replacement piece.

Refer to the video below for the detailed process captured on video:

The hairpiece can then be cut and styled to the man's preference. It is recommended to cut and style after hairpiece is attached rather than prior. This is to reduce any errors in the desired final look.

Step 9: Smile
