Postiche
The Continental Hair postiche was developed by Emma Suba in the early 1990s. The aim was to design a woman’s hair replacement unit that was light and easy to wear, anchored the hair well but was not heavy or warm, and would give a woman with thinning hair an extra 10-20% of density. What she developed is still the very best women’s daily-wear hair replacement. And when it is used with virgin European human hair, there is nothing to match it for natural appearance and style.
The size of the postiche will vary according to the woman it is being designed for. It is usually only four inches by five inches. The base is in two layers: a hexagon mesh that anchors the hair, and an underside of polyester silk that helps keeps the shape. Both materials are breathable and super light, so the unit weighs next to nothing but can stand up to years of everyday wear. The postiche is attached using comb clips and takes less than twenty seconds to put on and take off.
In terms of styling, it can be blended with a woman’s own hair in just about any direction so she can have the style that she wants beautifully, naturally, and easily. A very natural “skin part” can be integrated into the design so that even under the closest scrutiny it is virtually undetectable. And, as the hair is custom blended to match the wearer, it is always a perfect match.
