Good hair days, on your terms.

About six months ago, while planning my wedding, I ran into a very real problem: my hair had gotten short, really short. I used to have long, wavy hair, and that's how most people knew me; it photographed well, it styled well, it just had a whole aura about it. Growing it back in time wasn't realistic, so I looked into hair extensions instead. But the more cases I researched and the more people I asked, the more it scared me off, more shedding, uncomfortable to sleep in, that constant “something's clipped in” feeling, and washing my hair turned into a hassle.

Then I remembered I'd worn clip-in hairpieces before, so I went down that path instead and realized most of what's out there isn't what we actually want: too bulky, too obviously fake, or the kind that photographs beautifully but you'd never wear out the door. I just wanted one that suited me. I ended up buying over 20, and not one felt right. What I actually wanted was simple: put it on, and no one notices it's not your own hair, they just think you're having a really good day.

My partner eventually pointed out that I'd already done all this research, so why not just make it myself. That's how SISCODE started, not a grand plan, just me being too particular to settle for anything less.
