John, thank you for your kind words of concern but this is not a toplace system. And I haven't had much luck with stock systems. I have very thin back and side hair and need like 55% density tops. Col...

HI Paul, thank you for your advice. I should have said from the outset that this was not a toplace system, my apologies. The system was a full inch wider on the sides than my template (1/2" on each si...

You will never see anyone on here take a pic of their hairline on a thinskin unit and post it on here. It's frustrating, I know, but it can only mean one thing: they aren't realistic. Personally, and ...
