Can I Get a Hair System for the Front Hairline Only?
Posted by Santana Fell on Feb 26, 2026
Hair loss rarely occurs all at once (unless in medical conditions like alopecia or chemotherapy). For most people, hair loss starts quietly, with a receding hairline, a broad forehead, temples that go empty, or a balding crown that slowly radiates outward.
That pesky front hairline section has a way of changing how you see yourself in the mirror every single morning. You know that moment when you catch your reflection at just the right angle, and your hairline tells a story you didn't ask for? Your hairline no longer sits where it used to, but the rest of your hair is still there, healthy and long, still full.
You may think you are too young to start balding, but genes play some sneaky games we don’t like to accept.
You may think you are doomed, but wait until we introduce you to the best thing that's going to happen to your hairline. If you're not looking for a dramatic transformation and just want your hairline back, your best bet is a frontal hair system.
Do you really need a full hair system, when you can get something designed just for the front hairline? A front hairline hair system might be exactly what you've been searching for, and more people than you'd think are already wearing one with total confidence.
Hairpieces & Hair Systems for Frontal Hair Loss in Men & Women

Can You Get a Hair System for the Front Hairline Only?
1. The Short Answer: Yes, Absolutely
If you've been losing hair specifically at your front hairline, while the rest of your scalp still has decent coverage, you don't need a full toupee or a wig. There's a smarter, more targeted solution: a frontal hair system, also known as a frontal hairpiece, front hair patch, or partial hair system.
"Frontal hairpieces are specifically designed for men and women experiencing a receding front hairline; you won't need to shave the entire top of your head." — Superhairpieces.com
These partial systems cover only the area where hair loss is happening, basically the front few inches of your scalp. These hair patches seamlessly blend with your natural hair, giving you more confidence and control over your hair narrative.
No surgery. No downtime. No shaving your whole head. Just a realistic, natural-looking front hairline restored in a matter of minutes.
Whether you're a man noticing an M-shaped recession or a woman seeing your hairline slowly pull back from your forehead, this blog answers all the common questions you might be thinking of.
2. What Is a Frontal Hair System?
A frontal hair system is a small, lightweight, partial hair replacement unit that is attached or applied to the front portion of your scalp. Unlike a full toupee that covers the top and crown, or a full wig that covers the entire head, a frontal hairpiece targets only the hairline area.
Typically measuring around 10" x 2" (though sizes vary by wearer and brand), these systems are thin, breathable, and built with Swiss lace, thin-skin polyurethane, or monofilament bases, each offering a slightly different balance of breathability, durability, and realism.
Frontal vs. Full Hair System vs. Full Wig — At a Glance
| Feature | Frontal Hair System | Full Toupee | Full Wig |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coverage area | Front hairline only | Top & crown | Entire scalp |
| Shaving required | No | Usually yes | Optional |
| Blends with natural hair | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | Replaces all hair |
| Best for | Receding/thinning front hairline | Male pattern baldness (top/crown) | Total hair loss in men and women, or a style change |
| Weight & comfort | Very light | Moderate | Heavier |
| Typical size | 5"×2" to 10"×2" | 8"×10" and up | Full cap |
| Average cost | $60–$200 | $100–$500+ | $150–$600+ |
3. Who Needs a Frontal Hairpiece?
A frontal hair system is ideal for anyone whose hair loss is concentrated specifically at the front of the scalp. Here are some common patterns to look for:
- Men with early-stage male pattern baldness (Norwood Scale 1–3), where recession begins at the temples and front hairline before progressing to the crown.
- Men with M-shaped hairlines or widow's peak recession, where the center stays, but the temples recede visibly on both sides.
- Women with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), a condition causing slow but progressive frontal hairline recession, often affecting women over 40.
- Women experiencing postpartum hair loss often experience the heaviest hair fall around the hairline and temples in the months following delivery.
- Women with traction alopecia caused by tight hairstyles like braids, weaves, or ponytails repeatedly pulling on the frontal hairline over time.
- Men and women post-chemotherapy often see hair return in patches; a frontal hairpiece bridges the gap while natural hair regrows.
- Anyone with a widening front part, where the part line gradually becomes more visible and wider near the forehead.
4. Why should you choose a frontal hairpiece?

Frontal Hair Systems for Men
Superhairpieces offers two standout stock options for men experiencing a receding hairline. Both are designed to attach at the front of the scalp without requiring a full shave-down.
FR115 — Full Swiss Lace Frontal Hairpiece
A full Swiss lace frontal hair patch measuring 10"×2", with a 1.5" width at the peak. Designed with 100% soft fine Indian Remy hair at 4–6 inches in length. The lace base provides an incredibly natural, breathable hairline that's virtually undetectable. This frontal lace hair system is perfect for slicked-back styles, pompadours, and natural side parts. You can work out with it or even go for a swim without worrying about it lifting or slipping, provided you use the correct wig glue and/or tape.
The Swiss lace base is extremely thin and skin-toned, so it appears to disappear against your scalp at a natural distance. This makes the FR115 one of the most popular choices for men who want a frontal hairpiece that can withstand daily scrutiny, whether from a boss, a date, or a camera.
2.FR111 — Full Thin Skin Frontal Hairpiece
A clear see-through polyurethane (thin skin) frontal hairpiece with v-looped Indian Remy hair strands. No knots visible anywhere. Ultra-light and natural-looking from every angle. Its flexible base can be sized down to match your exact area of frontal loss. Ideal for messy quiff styles and casual, modern looks.
The thin skin base bonds to the skin perfectly, making it almost invisible. This frontal hairpiece is a go-to for men who want the most seamless, indistinguishable front hairline. Because the base is transparent, there's no visible contrast between the hairpiece edge and your scalp.
Best Hairstyles with a Men's Frontal Hairpiece
- Pompadour — longer hair swept back from the front creates a bold, confident look that works beautifully with a frontal patch.
- Slicked-back — a classic and polished option; the lace base allows maximum natural movement for a seamless finish.
- Messy quiff — casual and textured, ideal with the FR111 thin skin system for a laid-back appearance.
- Side part — a timeless, business-friendly style that blends perfectly with a frontal hairpiece at the natural hairline.
- Crew cut with frontal volume — shorter sides with more density at the front, maximizing the visual impact of the hairpiece.
Custom Men's Frontal Hair Systems
If stock options don't match your hairline shape, hair color, or density preferences, Superhairpieces also offers fully custom men's frontal hairpieces. You can specify the exact size, base material, hair direction, hair density, color, and front hairline shape you want, and we will make it perfect for you to feel more confident in your appearance and style.
How to Attach a Frontal Hair System for Men
Attaching a frontal hair system is surprisingly simple. Here's a step-by-step overview:
- Clean your skin. Clean the front of your scalp with a gentle cleanser or isopropyl alcohol to remove oil and residue. A clean surface ensures maximum adhesion and a longer-lasting bond.
- Position the frontal hairpiece. Place the frontal hairpiece at the front of your scalp where your natural hairline should begin. Check that it sits symmetrically by looking in a mirror from multiple angles before bonding.
- Apply adhesive or tape. Apply your preferred hair system tape or adhesive to the perimeter of the hairpiece base. Pre-cut tapes in A, CC, or C shapes (matching your hairline shape) make this step much faster and cleaner.
- Press and bond. Press the hairpiece firmly onto your forehead and the edge of your scalp. Hold it in place for 30–60 seconds to ensure a secure bond before releasing.
- Blend and style. Use a comb or brush to blend the hairpiece hair with your natural hair behind it. Add styling product as needed to unify the look and texture.
- Avoid water and sweat for 24 hours. After your first installation, give the adhesive a full day to fully cure before washing or getting wet.
Pro Tip for removal: Using a fine-tooth comb or an old credit card to remove adhesive residue during maintenance is recommended by Superhairpieces. Always use a proper adhesive remover when removing the hairpiece. Never force it off, as this can damage both your scalp and the hairpiece base.

Real User Examples
Frontal hair systems have quietly become one of the most popular solutions in the world of non-surgical hair replacement. Here are some real users who illustrate how they use these hairpieces.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I get a hair system for just the front hairline, not the whole head?
A: Yes, this is exactly what frontal hair systems are designed for. Products like the FR115 and FR111 from Superhairpieces cover only the front 2–10 inches of the scalp, leaving the rest of your natural hair completely untouched. No full shave required.
Q: Do I need to shave my head for a frontal hairpiece?
A: No. Unlike full toupees, frontal hairpieces don't require shaving the top of your head. You simply attach the men’s hair patch to your forehead at the point where your hairline should be (typically 4 fingers' width above your eyebrow), and style the rest of your natural hair to blend seamlessly with it.
Q: How long does a frontal hair system last?
A: It depends on the base material. Thin skin bases and lace base front hair systems last roughly 4–8 weeks with daily wear.
Q: Will a frontal hairpiece look natural and undetectable?
A: Absolutely! When properly sized, attached, and blended with your natural hair, a frontal hairpiece is virtually indistinguishable from a natural hairline. Swiss lace and thin skin bases in particular offer exceptional invisibility at the hairline edge. Superhairpieces frontal hairpieces are made with natural human hair that blends seamlessly with real hair for a perfect look.
Q: Can women use frontal hair systems?
A: Absolutely. Women experiencing frontal fibrosing alopecia, postpartum hair loss, traction alopecia, or general hairline thinning can use frontal hairpieces like the Superhairpieces FH14 Frontal Halo Hairpiece.
Q: Can I wear a hat or swim with a frontal hair system?
A: Wearing a hat is perfectly fine with a frontal hairpiece; it can actually help protect it from UV and wind. Swimming is possible with the right adhesive, though prolonged water exposure will reduce the lifespan of the bond and the base material. Avoid getting the system wet for at least 24-48 hours after initial installation.
Q: Is a frontal hair system better than a hair transplant for receding hairlines?
A: A hair transplant (FUT or FUE) is a permanent surgical solution but comes with significant cost ($4,000–$15,000+), recovery time, and variable results. A frontal hairpiece is non-surgical, immediately effective, reversible, and affordable. Many people use frontal hairpieces while deciding on or recovering from a transplant, or simply prefer them as a long-term lifestyle choice.
Q: What tape shape should I buy for my frontal hairpiece?
A: Match the tape shape to your hairpiece's front hairline shape. Superhairpieces primarily uses A, CC, and C front shapes on their hairpieces. Pre-cut tapes are available in all these shapes and save significant time during attachment.

Q: How do I remove a frontal hairpiece safely?
A: Always use a solvent or adhesive remover to remove your hairpiece. Never force the hairpiece off dry, as it can tear. Apply the solvent along the edges and wait for it to break down the bond. Use a fine-tooth comb or an old credit card to lift the base from the scalp gently. Wipe away residue with a cloth, then wash the area with shampoo before reapplying.
Q: Can I get a custom frontal hair system made to fit my exact hairline?
A: Yes. Superhairpieces offers fully custom frontal hair systems for both men and women. You can specify the exact base shape, size, hair color, density, texture, and hairline design. You can book a FREE consultation with our specialists or email sales@superhairpieces.com.
