Hair Patch Guide: Types, Cost and Care
A hair patch is a small hair system that covers a specific bald area — most commonly the crown or front hairline.
What is a hair patch?
A hair patch is a partial hair replacement unit — smaller than a full system — designed to cover targeted areas of baldness.
Base types
Skin (poly), lace, mono-filament and hybrid bases. Lace is breathable and natural; skin is thinnest and cheapest.
Application methods
Bonded with medical glue (3–6 weeks) or tape (weekly re-tape). Clip-in patches offer a removable option.
Monthly care
Service every 3–4 weeks: remove, clean scalp, condition the patch, re-bond. Use sulphate-free shampoo and avoid heat styling above 150 °C.
Typical cost
₹8,000 – ₹35,000 depending on hair grade and base. Add ₹2,000–₹4,000 monthly for professional service.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a hair patch last?
3–9 months depending on hair grade, care routine and climate.
Can women wear hair patches?
Yes — patches are widely used for female pattern hair loss and post-chemotherapy hair loss.
