If your client has thinning hair or alopecia areata ( patches of hair loss ), then a integration piece or a fall would be a great option . With an integration , the client ’ s hair is pulled through the hair piece system and blended with the hair piece . The fall is a partial wig , that often comes as a ½ or ¾ wig . The client that would be a good candidate for a fall would have a enough hair in the front to cover the transition from the natural hair to the fall . Falls and integration systems have to be a good match because the clients hair is pulled through the cap . A fall or integration piece is added to the hair daily and they are secured using clips and wig combs . They can give an instant change in density and length
