Wig or Hair System vs SMP: Pros and Cons
Quick answer: A wig or hair system covers the scalp with hair you can style but needs regular maintenance and removal; SMP is pigment in the scalp that suits short hairstyles and needs little daily effort but cannot be taken off. The choice depends on the style you want and how you live.
- Wigs and systems: Flexible styling; regular upkeep.
- SMP: Low daily effort; a short-hair look. See SMP Selangor.
- Other options: Simulation & Stimulation or hair transplant. See treatment.
