    Thread: Thinking about it
Post: RE: Thinking about it

The first time you go out in public is the most daunting, so do it in short bursts. In my case, I needed my regular hair cut so I went to the hair stylist wearing my hair system (already cut in) but...

I learned how to ventilate hair systems myself. You can get all the tools (or even a complete kit) from His and Hers hair, online. They also have bundles of hair for sale. I know it is time consuming,...

Post: RE: Male hairdressers better than female?

Sadly, I must agree. I've been going to the same female hairdresser for several years since she's better than most of the others (male and female). I would say that I am satisfied 40% of the time. Fin...

Thought I would try a much shorter hairstyle. This one is 1 1/2 inch length, light density, sfs. Cut in was by Debbie T, who always does a good job. I believe this cut is a little too short for a grea...

Post: RE: (PICS)Revised template with temple flaps

The placement on head looks good, as do the flaps. The only thing I would change is to round out the widow's peak so it's not so sharp. I have a system that had such a sharp peak and ended up roundi...

I do believe you can achieve the look shown in the last image, but it won't be easy. The hardest parts with any HP is the front hairline and the sides, especially with a high fade. In my opinion, with...
