Guide to Hair System Brands & Supplies
How do brands, products, and quality differ?
Anyone who starts exploring hair systems and related supplies quickly notices that there are many brands, names, and product lines.
Yet the actual differences are often smaller than they appear — and marketing plays a bigger role than many users realize.
In this guide, we clearly explain:
- why there are so many hair system brands
- how hair system supplies are structured
- where real quality differences can be found
- and how to make better choices beyond brand names
This information is intended as a knowledge resource, not a brand comparison.

Why are there so many hair system brands?
Many hair system supplies are:
- produced by a limited number of specialized manufacturers
- sold under different brand names
- slightly modified or repackaged for specific target groups
This mainly applies to:
- tapes
- adhesives
- removers
- scalp protectors
- care and maintenance products
In practice, this means that multiple well-known hair system brands often source their products from the same or very similar suppliers.
The difference usually lies not in the base formula, but in packaging, positioning, or marketing.

👉 That’s why it’s more important to understand which type of product you need, rather than focusing only on the brand name.

👉 Choosing the right remover is just as important as choosing the right adhesive.
Scalp protectors & skin prep
Scalp protectors are often underestimated, but they play a key role in:
- adhesion
- skin protection
- wearing comfort
What scalp protectors do
- create a protective barrier on the skin
- reduce skin irritation
- improve adhesion on difficult skin types
Especially recommended for:
- warm or changing climates
- sensitive skin
- heavy perspiration

Hair system care & maintenance products
Not all shampoos and conditioners are suitable for hair systems.
What to look for
- pH level
- alcohol content
- drying ingredients
Hair system care products are designed to:
- protect hair fibers
- avoid damaging the base
- extend the lifespan of the hair system

👉 More care does not automatically mean better results.
Examples of professional hair system brands & suppliers
Within the hair system market, there are various specialized brands and suppliers focusing on specific product categories such as adhesives, tapes, removers, and care products.
Examples include:
- brands that specialize exclusively in professional tapes
- suppliers focused on water-based or solvent-based adhesives
- manufacturers of medical scalp protectors and skin prep
- niche brands for hair system care & maintenance
These examples are provided for context only.
There is no universal “best” brand — suitability always depends on skin type, wear duration, and usage conditions.

Legacy brands vs marketing-driven brands
Within hair system supplies, two broad types of brands can be distinguished:
Legacy & specialist brands
- developed through practical experience
- focused on functionality and consistency
- long-term stable product formulations
Marketing-driven brands
- heavily focused on packaging and claims
- frequently changing formulations
- less transparency about origin
👉 Brand recognition does not automatically equal quality or suitability.
How to choose the right hair system supplies
Always ask yourself these questions:
- How long do I wear my hair system?
- How sensitive is my skin?
- Under what conditions do I wear it (sports, heat, vacation)?
- How much maintenance do I want to do?

The answers to these questions are more important than the brand.
