HAIR REPLACEMENT SOLUTIONS
There is more than one way to restore the fullness you have been missing.
From customized IBE extensions to toppers, wigs, and CNC hair prosthetics, Melissa helps women find the right level of volume and coverage for their natural hair, lifestyle, and stage of hair loss.
Hair replacement does not mean giving up on your natural hair.
Treatments and hair replacement solutions can serve different purposes. One may support your natural hair and scalp over time, while the other helps you feel more comfortable and confident right now.
Melissa can help you explore both. Depending on your needs, you may use a topper, wig, or CNC system temporarily, long term, or alongside a personalized hair-restoration plan.
Finding the right level of coverageThe right solution depends on your hair loss, lifestyle, and how you want to feel.
Some women need added coverage around the part or crown. Others want full coverage they can remove whenever they choose. Clients experiencing more advanced hair loss may want a custom system that stays securely in place throughout daily life.
Melissa will help you compare your options honestly so you can choose what feels most comfortable and realistic for you.
FEATURED SOLUTION: iNVISIBLE BEAD EXTENSIONSRestoring fullness while preserving what you already have
Hair loss does not always mean that extensions are no longer an option. For women experiencing mild thinning, reduced density, or a loss of fullness, IBE® extensions may provide an immediate way to restore volume while maintaining a natural, seamless result.
Melissa is an IBE® Elite Artist with advanced experience in customizing extensions around the condition, density, and limitations of the natural hair. Before recommending IBE, she evaluates whether your hair can safely support an installation and whether extensions can provide coverage in the areas that concern you.
IBE® may be appropriate if:
You have mild thinning or reduced density
Your natural hair can safely support extensions
Your main concern is volume or length
Your thinning is concentrated through the sides or lower areas
You still have enough natural hair to conceal and blend the extensions
You are comfortable following a regular maintenance schedule
IBE® may not be appropriate if:
Your hair is too fragile to support extensions safely
Your thinning is concentrated at the part or crown
You need coverage directly on top of the scalp
You are experiencing active or unexplained excessive shedding
Your scalp needs treatment before an installation
A topper, wig, or CNC system would provide safer or more effective coverage
The IBE Experience with Melissa
When extensions are not the right fit, you still have options.
Extensions cannot provide every type of coverage, and they are not appropriate for every stage of hair loss. Melissa also offers toppers, wigs, and CNC hair prosthetics so you can explore a solution that safely and effectively meets your needs.
toppersFuller-looking hair where you need it most
A topper adds coverage and density through the top of the hair without covering the entire head. It may be appropriate for women experiencing thinning around the part, crown, or another concentrated area that extensions cannot adequately conceal.
Melissa helps you select the appropriate coverage, density, color, texture, and length before cutting and blending the topper with your natural hair.
A topper may be appropriate if:
Your thinning is concentrated around the part or crown
You need coverage directly on top of the hair
Extensions cannot address your area of concern
You still have natural hair that can blend with the topper
You prefer a removable option
You do not need full-scalp coverage
Your topper experience may include:
Evaluating the area needing coverage
Comparing sizes and coverage levels
Selecting the appropriate density
Matching your natural color and texture
Custom cutting and blending
Styling and at-home care education
wigsA wig provides coverage across the full scalp and may be appropriate for women experiencing widespread thinning, significant hair loss, temporary hair loss, or anyone who prefers a removable solution.
Melissa helps you explore the fit, color, texture, length, density, and overall style so your wig feels personal to you rather than like something you had to settle for.
Full Coverage With Flexibility and Choice
A wig may be appropriate if:
Your hair loss is widespread
You want full-scalp coverage
You prefer to remove your hair at home
You want flexibility between different styles
You need a temporary or long-term option
You do not want ongoing professional attachment
Your wig experience may include:
Selecting the appropriate fit and cap
Choosing the density, texture, and length
Color matching
Custom cutting and personalization
Styling education
At-home care instructions
CNC HAIR PROSTHETICSA Custom System Designed Around Your Scalp and Lifestyle
The CRLAB CNC Hair Prosthetic System is a fully customized, non-surgical solution for women experiencing partial or advanced hair loss. Unlike a standard wig or topper, the CNC system is created specifically for the shape of your head and the exact area where coverage is needed.
The process begins with a detailed 3D scan. A biomedical-grade polymer base is then customized to blend with your scalp, and individual strands of natural virgin hair are inserted by hand to recreate natural direction, density, and movement.
The system can be fitted without shaving your existing natural hair. Once securely fitted and properly maintained, it is designed to be worn while sleeping, showering, exercising, and swimming. Regular professional maintenance is required.
CNC may be appropriate if:
You are experiencing partial or advanced hair loss
You want secure, continuous coverage
A removable topper or wig does not fit your lifestyle
Extensions cannot safely or effectively provide coverage
You want a system created specifically for your scalp
You are comfortable with regular professional maintenance

Whether you prefer removable or continuous wear
Your styling routine and activity level

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will a hair replacement solution treat my hair loss?IBE® extensions, toppers, wigs, and CNC systems restore the appearance of volume or coverage but do not treat an underlying cause of hair loss. Melissa may recommend using a hair solution alongside scalp treatments, testing, or appropriate medical care.
How do I know if my hair can support IBE®?Melissa evaluates the density, strength, scalp condition, shedding, and areas of thinning before recommending extensions. If IBE® cannot safely meet your needs, she will help you explore another option.
Can I use a topper if I still have natural hair?Yes. Toppers are designed to blend with the natural hair and provide targeted coverage through areas such as the part or crown.
Do I have to shave my hair for CNC?CRLAB states that its custom system can be fitted without shaving the existing natural hair. Melissa will evaluate your individual hair and coverage area.
Can I swim and exercise while wearing CNC?CNC is designed for everyday activities, including sleeping, showering, exercising, and swimming, when properly fitted and maintained.
How much do the solutions cost?Pricing depends on the solution, amount of hair, length, density, customization, and maintenance requirements. Melissa will provide personalized pricing after evaluating your needs.
Can I receive hair-loss treatments while wearing a hair solution?It depends on the treatment, placement of the hair solution, and areas being addressed. Melissa will explain whether treatment can continue and whether the solution needs to be adjusted or temporarily removed.
