Your Hair’s Next Chapter
Beautifully Preserved. Thoughtfully Reimagined.
Some things are too meaningful to leave behind.
For many, hair carries a lifetime of personal significance. Whether you've spent years growing it, cultivated a texture uniquely your own, or simply cannot imagine parting with it, we understand that its value extends far beyond appearance.
EverStrands was created around a simple belief: when circumstances change, your relationship with your hair deserves more than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Through careful preservation, bespoke craftsmanship, and personalized restoration options, we explore what's possible with the hair you've grown, loved, and chosen to keep.
Because your next chapter should still feel like you.
Three Pathways. One Personal Journey.
EVERSTRANDS PRESERVE
1
Preparing for chemotherapy, surgery, or another treatment that may result in hair loss can bring difficult decisions. EverStrands Preserve offers a private, considered approach to collecting and preserving your natural hair before treatment begins. Through careful cutting, preparation, documentation, and preservation, your hair is thoughtfully handled with the possibility of transforming it into a personalized hairpiece or extensions in the future. A meaningful way to hold on to something familiar through an unfamiliar season.
EVERSTRANDS NOW
2
When your natural hair is no longer available to wear as you once did, the hair you've preserved may offer another possibility. EverStrands Now explores transforming suitable preserved hair into a bespoke wig or topper, thoughtfully customized to your preferences, texture, color, and desired appearance. This can be worn while you receive treatment. From the delicate details of the hairline to the movement and finish of each piece, every element is considered with care. Our intention is not to change how you look, but to help you feel connected to the reflection you know.
EVERSTRANDS LATER

Regrowth marks a new chapter, but returning to your previous length and fullness can take time. EverStrands Later offers the possibility of transforming your preserved hair into custom extensions once your natural hair and scalp are ready. Depending on the condition and suitability of your preserved hair, available options may include customized keratin bonds, I-tips, tape-ins, or wefts. Each transformation begins with a personalized assessment to determine which methods, if any, are appropriate for your natural hair. The result is an opportunity to reconnect with the length, texture, and familiarity you've missed using the hair that was yours all along.
The Art Of Preservation
At Lux Strands, thoughtful craftsmanship begins long before the finished transformation.
Every EverStrands experience is approached with discretion, intention, and a commitment to understanding your individual needs.
I. The Private Consultation
Your journey begins with a personal conversation. We'll discuss your goals, hair history, treatment timeline where relevant, and whether you're preserving hair for the future or exploring options with hair you've already saved.
II. The Assessment
We evaluate the condition, length, density, and suitability of your natural or preserved hair, along with any scalp considerations relevant to your chosen service. Where appropriate, additional medical clearance may be needed before an installation.
III. The Bespoke Plan
Based on your assessment, we develop a personalized preservation or restoration plan, outlining the available options, anticipated process, and next steps.
IV. The Transformation
Whether your journey involves carefully preserving your hair or creating a custom hairpiece or extensions, every detail is approached with the precision and care that define Lux Strands.
Your Questions, Thoughtfully Answered
What is EverStrands by Lux Strands?
EverStrands is a personalized hair preservation and restoration program by Lux Strands, designed for individuals experiencing or preparing for hair loss associated with chemotherapy, medical treatments, and other conditions.
Our program offers three distinct pathways: EverStrands Preserve, which focuses on preserving your natural hair before treatment; EverStrands Now, which explores transforming your preserved hair into custom wigs or toppers; and EverStrands Later, which offers the possibility of creating personalized hair extensions using your own saved hair.
Available through our New York City and Nashville locations, EverStrands combines bespoke hair craftsmanship with a thoughtful, individualized approach to medically related hair loss.
Can I preserve my own hair before chemotherapy?
Yes. EverStrands Preserve offers a personalized hair preservation service for individuals preparing for chemotherapy or other medical treatments that may cause hair loss.
Our process includes private hair cutting, careful collection, preparation, documentation, and preservation of your natural hair for potential future use.
Preserved hair may later be suitable for transformation into a custom wig, topper, or hair extensions, depending on its length, quantity, and condition.
We recommend scheduling your hair preservation consultation before beginning chemotherapy whenever possible.
Can a wig be made using my own hair?
Yes, depending on the suitability and quantity of your preserved hair. EverStrands Now offers the possibility of transforming your own natural hair into a bespoke human hair wig or topper.
Unlike purchasing a traditional wig made from someone else's hair, this personalized approach allows you to explore wearing the hair you've grown and preserved yourself.
Each custom hairpiece is thoughtfully designed around your preferences, including hair texture, color, density, and desired appearance. Additional hair may be needed to achieve certain lengths, fullness, or styles.
I saved my hair before chemotherapy. Can I still use it?
Possibly. If you saved your hair before chemotherapy, surgery, or another medical treatment, EverStrands may be able to transform it into custom hair extensions, a personalized wig, or a topper.
Even hair that has been stored for months or years may be suitable for repurposing, depending on how it was collected, handled, and preserved.
During your consultation, our specialists assess the length, quantity, condition, and storage history of your saved hair to determine which restoration options may be possible.
You don't necessarily need to have participated in our original preservation program to explore EverStrands.
Can I get hair extensions after chemotherapy?
Hair extensions may be an option after chemotherapy once your natural hair has regrown sufficiently and your hair and scalp are healthy enough to accommodate an installation.
EverStrands Later specializes in exploring custom hair extension solutions for individuals navigating post-chemotherapy hair regrowth, including the possibility of using their own previously preserved hair.
Depending on your natural hair's length, strength, density, and scalp condition, potential methods may include customized K-tip keratin bonds, I-tip extensions, tape-ins, or wefts.
Because hair can be particularly delicate following chemotherapy or other medical treatments, every guest receives an individualized assessment. Medical clearance may also be recommended before proceeding.
How long does my hair need to be for extensions after chemotherapy?
The minimum length required for post-chemotherapy hair extensions depends on your hair's density, strength, condition, and the installation method being considered.
Some specialized extension techniques may accommodate shorter hair than traditional methods. However, sufficient regrowth alone does not guarantee that extensions are appropriate.
At Lux Strands, we prioritize protecting the integrity of your natural hair and scalp. During your EverStrands consultation, we'll evaluate your current regrowth and discuss whether extensions, a custom topper, or another hair replacement solution may be more suitable.
How much hair do I need to preserve to make a wig or extensions?
The amount of natural hair needed depends on whether your goal is to create a custom wig, topper, or hair extensions, as well as your desired length, volume, and overall appearance.
A full wig generally requires more hair than a partial topper or certain extension applications. In some cases, additional human hair may be incorporated to achieve the desired result.
During your EverStrands consultation, we'll evaluate the length, quantity, and condition of your hair and explain which preservation and restoration options may be achievable.
Is EverStrands suitable for all hair textures?
Absolutely. At Lux Strands, we believe hair preservation and restoration should be accessible across every texture.
From straight and wavy hair to curls, coils, and highly textured hair, EverStrands embraces the unique characteristics of each individual's natural hair.
Our texture-inclusive approach ensures that every preservation and restoration plan considers your hair's individual structure, density, and characteristics.
Whether you're preserving your natural hair before chemotherapy or exploring custom wigs, toppers, or post-treatment hair extensions, our goal is to create a result that feels authentically yours.
All services are subject to an individual hair and scalp assessment.
Can my preserved hair be turned into K-tip or I-tip extensions?
Potentially. EverStrands Later explores transforming suitable preserved hair into custom hair extensions, including K-tip keratin bonds, I-tip extensions, tape-ins, and wefts.
The available methods depend on the length, quantity, condition, and characteristics of your preserved hair, as well as the suitability of your natural hair for installation.
Each extension transformation is individually assessed and planned to achieve a natural-looking result while prioritizing the health of your existing hair.
Does health insurance cover hair restoration or cranial prostheses?
Certain health insurance plans may provide partial or full reimbursement for medically necessary cranial prostheses, sometimes referred to as medical wigs, when prescribed by an eligible healthcare provider.
Coverage varies depending on your insurer, specific policy, medical circumstances, and the type of hair replacement service provided.
Hair preservation services and cosmetic hair extensions are not necessarily eligible for insurance reimbursement.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your benefits, documentation requirements, and eligibility before proceeding with any EverStrands service.
How long does the EverStrands hair preservation and restoration process take?
The timeline varies depending on the EverStrands pathway you select and the level of customization required.
Hair preservation appointments, bespoke wig or topper creation, and transforming preserved hair into custom extensions involve different preparation and production processes.
During your private consultation, our team will review your individual needs, explain the expected steps, and provide an estimated timeline for your personalized service.
For guests preparing to begin chemotherapy, we encourage contacting us as early as possible to discuss preservation arrangements.
Is EverStrands available in New York City and Nashville?
