    Thread: Lace front pieces -- really undetectable?
Post: Re: Lace front pieces -- really undetectable?

See, that's where I'm getting worried about doing this, some of you claim it's 100% undetectable, fully invisible in all lights and from all angles, and some of you are saying that it's noticeable at ...

Post: Lace front pieces -- really undetectable?

Hey guys. I've been very nearly convinced to go the route of a piece again, only this time with lace fronts. Here's what I've read negatively about them, though this was in the case of Beyonce, not a ...

Ha, that sounds like a good place to be. Unfortunately at this stage of being shaved clean, I AM afraid to leave my house. It's a shame. It's amazing how defeating this feeling is. I used to be hyper ...

Post: Re: The Psychology of Wearing

I officially bailed on the piece. I'm now skin bald. And I look hideous. This forum was amazing for going through starting to wear. Anyone know of a forum for people who have acknowledged they can't...

Post: Re: When it comes off, will it uproot my hair?!

Appreciate all the advice you've given man. Yeah, it's actually not because of the psychological things. It's because I'm a singer, and I just found out the hard way that as soon as I start sweating u...

Post: When it comes off, will it uproot my hair?!

Hey all, I've got a poly system, glued on. I'm taking it off, giving up on hair systems. I believe I've got about a week of growth under there. So probably 0.2" or so. My fear is -- when they take...

Post: Re: The Psychology of Wearing

It wouldn't so much be due to shame, but more due to fear of the fallout. What happens if that happens on stage? That's a lot harder to recover from... I can't afford to be known as "that singer whose...

James, you still have substantially hair growth under where you keep your piece? And your hair count has remained pretty much the same? That's a relief. I have definitely found that on the internet,...

Hey all. A few more days with the piece on... things are calming a bit. Nobody else has noticed, only gotten "nice haircut" and "whoa, you're growing your hair out, eh?". Which is nice. Now it really...

Speaking of this -- does anyone know what the hell causes that line on the thinskin hairline? It seems like it's far less noticeable on one side of my hairline than the other side... it seems like it ...

No, that's the real downer of this piece that I got... it's not invisible at all, you get this weird line all the way around, looks sort of dark. It was their thinnest thinskin that ever existed, but ...

Post: Re: ThinSkin and Sweating/Long-term wear.

I guess their argument is that the way these bonds work, they're fully sealed to the scalp... so there's no room for anything to go anywhere. If it were lace or a looser bond on a skin system, then it...

Hi guys. I just got my first piece, started wearing it yesterday. I'm 27. I was one of those dudes who wasn't really "bald", but rather thinning quite badly, but managed to cover it up with concealer...

Hey Xeon, thanks for the reply. Have you ever tried it though? I mean, that's what people say, and I've certainly read it a few times already. But these firms have many clients, many of whom I have sp...
