Hair loss can affect people of all backgrounds and ethnicities, including black men. While genetics play a significant role in hair loss, factors like age, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions can also contribute.
Many black men have explored various solutions, from hair care routines to medical treatments, to address their hair loss concerns. It's important to remember that hair loss is a common experience for many individuals, and seeking advice from professionals can help in finding the best approach for everyone’s unique situation.
Full Installation
A full installation involves the application of natural-looking hair units to cover thinning hair, bald spots, or to completely transform a man’s hairstyle.
Hairline Restoration
Hairline restoration - another word ‘frontal’ refers to a range of procedures or techniques aimed at enhancing, reshaping, or restoring the natural hairline. The treatment varies based on individual needs, such as hairline recession, uneven growth, or thinning.
Maintenance
Maintenance involves regular care and upkeep to ensure longevity, natural appearance, and overall health for your hair and scalp.

Introducing our custom dread hair unit, meticulously handcrafted in-house to deliver a natural, seamless look tailored to your style.
At Pokz Hair Studios, we want you to get the most out of your hair unit and services. Follow these care instructions to ensure your unit looks flawless and lasts as long as possible.
Before Your Appointment
1. Preparation for Installation or Maintenance:
• If you’re coming in for a new unit installation, ensure your scalp is clean and free of oil, residue, or buildup. Avoid heavy creams or oils on your scalp 24 hours before your appointment.
• If you’re coming for maintenance or reapplication, you can wear your unit to the appointment. We’ll handle cleaning and refreshing the unit for you.
2. For Wash and Clean Services:
• If bringing in your unit separately, ensure it’s safely stored or packaged to avoid tangling or damage before your appointment.
• If you’re wearing your unit, don’t worry—we’ll take care of carefully removing it for washing.
3. General Tips:
• Bring any specific products you’ve been using on your unit if you’d like recommendations on alternatives or better options.
• If your hair or scalp is irritated, let us know ahead of time so we can tailor our services to your needs.
After Your Appointment
For Hair Unit Installation and Maintenance
1. Scalp and Unit Care:
• Avoid washing your hair or getting your unit wet for 48 hours to allow adhesives to fully set.
• Use a satin or silk scarf or pillowcase to protect your unit and prevent friction while sleeping.
• Avoid excessive sweating or water exposure (e.g., swimming or long showers) for the first 48 hours.
2. Styling and Products:
• Use lightweight, non-greasy products to style your unit. Avoid heavy oils or alcohol-based products, which can weaken adhesives or damage the unit.
• Avoid excessive heat styling and always use a heat protectant when using hot tools.
3. Maintenance Schedule:
• Schedule maintenance every 4–6 weeks to keep your unit secure, clean, and fresh.
• For daily wearers, clean your unit regularly with professional services to maintain its quality.
For Wash and Clean Services:
1. Post-Cleaning Care:
• If we reinstalled your unit after washing, follow the same aftercare for installations above.
• For separate units, handle them with care after cleaning. Store them on a wig stand or in a protective bag to maintain their shape.
2. Between Washes:
• Keep your unit free of heavy product buildup. Use gentle detangling tools and avoid over-styling to preserve the hair fibres.
