Post: Would this base combo be bad?

Why aren't there more videos showing how to attach lace hair pieces? I am beyond upset right now. I ordered one that came in bigger than my template, then I shaved my head, then I realized it was goin...

Post: wear without shaving

Is it possible to get away with wearing but not shaving your head? If so, how would you do it. How would the lace be attached on the sides and back of head? Thanks

Has anyone here had a super thinskin (TL700) piece made with a lace front? If so, what is your opinion. I love the scalp appearance and secure attachment of tl700, but also the undetectability of a la...

I think I read someplace that using some sort of small steam roller on the tape at the hairline can make it as invisible as using glue. That it really flattens it. Does anyone have any info on this an...

I've been using ORWG for a while which works very well for me in terms of hold, but it's a rough clean up; much of it tends to stay on the lace and it results in needing 4 or 5 mirror slides to get it...

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...

I heard that highlighting your system hair is not a good idea. You may want to ask the person who owns TL, they should be able to give you a definitive answer. Knots at the hairline need to be bleac...

I find after 6-8 weeks the hair is try and tangled anyway. I'm sure this base would last 6 weeks provided you were careful, no? As far as tape, you can't use tape with a .03mm skin base. White glue ...

Xeon, this sounds like a great tip. But does using the got2b on your front hairline weaken the bond at all?
