Lace Topper just cut in [photos] - Paul In Ireland - 02-04-2016
Ordered two topper systems towards the end of last year....one thin skin and the other, lace. Been wearing the skin one up to today.....it`s fine still [no obvious shedding ] Color-match with my own hair is not exact so I adjust that myself....my own hair tends to be a coppery-brown ..it can be tricky to get things looking spot-on.
I had the lace system cut in this afternoon.... I need to make my own hair slightly ` deeper` in tone to get the match correct....you`ll see my own hair-color especially just behind the ears ... I just wanted it styled today....she cut it slightly shorter than I usually wear it, but it`s a neater, ` cleaner` look....our weather`s been exceptionally windy of late and does my head in [no pun intended !] when trying to keep it styled ....the shorter hair should make this easier.
There`s about 10% gray in this system, but it`s not too ` obvious`....my camera isn`t the greatest for close-up detail.
This is a custom system [not stock] ..... these photos may be of interest to those considering wearing.

Fantastic result! You're the king of wearing imo.

Great Look and blend. Maybe its just my monitor but your bio hair already looks a little darker than the piece.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the comments.... I took those photos literally an hour after the cut-in was done.
I`ve just removed it now as I like to sleep without wearing my systems.
Did a little tweaking in terms of positioning it on my head...it`s amazing how even a 1/4 of an inch,or so, of a change by bringing the front hairline more forward or backward, can affect the overall `look`.
I`ll adjust my own hair color in the next few days and I`ll be happy with it then.... Silverstreak ....colors can look different from one monitor to the next..... the actual color-difference isn`t huge, but my bio hair is, under strong natural lighting conditions, a kind of copper/brown hue....not dark, but kind of gold.....it`s hard to describe... the system hair is a darker shade.... I can mask it by using some coloring-mousse in the morning onto / into my own or by using a little gel on it....I`m my own harshest critic, but I like things to look right.
When I have this tweaked to the way I want it, I`ll post a few more photos in a new thread.....I`ll wear this to work tomorrow ...confident enough about it, but I just want to fine-tune it to the way I want it .I like the shorter cut....she got the blend-in very accurate, which is SO important.
Cheers for now guys.

That looks fantastic. Incredibly natural. I think it's a little bit lighter than your own hair, but that's exactly what it should be like. Sunlight usually does brighten the top hair a little, compared to the hair of the sides.
Really good results!

Great job Paul.
As a new member on here, how long do you get out of the full wig, what I need myself, and what is the usual cost from Toplace as I can't see them in shop.
Thanks a lot

Hello needtoknow.... the information you wanted is in the section ``Bases`` [pasted] FULL CAP UNITS $449 PLUS SHIPPING
We can make a full cap unit (covers the entire head including sidbeburns and nape of neck) for $449.00 plus normal shipping. This includes up to 6" of 100% real human hair. We will need a template and color number (or hair sample if possible).
Ive worn Fullcaps for the last few years, but recently transitioned back to toppers..... if you click on my user-name you`ll bring up my profile on here ..you can read previous threads I`ve posted relating to Fullcaps....... my main tip would be that at the nape area, mark a line / a few dots along your neck representing where you`d like the ` finished`[styled] hair to lie..... have the perimeter of your base no ` higher` than half an inch above that line.... that way the hair won`t tend to curl outwards from there..it sits in ` tight` to the skin..... hope that makes sense..if there`s anything you want /need clarified, after reading my threads, feel free to post a thread with your questions.... I`ve posted quite a few photos in them, including templates.I normally get quite a few months wear from them, but I don`t sleep with systems on my head, and that helps a lot too....... I`ve outlined my [simple] care-routine in the ``Newcomer question`` thread just underneath this one, so you can have a read of that too ! Regards.
