Easier to wear a full cap or 3/4 ? - xiim - 03-21-2009
Hello,
it is some time I am considering switching from topper to full cap but I find difficult to find informations about it.
Actually I use only tape(s) for attachment, I find it much easier to use than glue. Would it still be possible to use tape all around or I should use glue somewhere ?
With 3/4 cap things are easier ?
I suppose that a full cap replaces all the hairs, so it probably is attached at the perimeter of my existing hair, but what about 3/4 cap, is there a way to know where it would be attached ?
Thank you

A 3/4 is essentially a big topper. You still have to worry about color and blending and such. A full cap has none of those issues but can be arguably less realistic in the temple/nape areas.
My hair is totally shot so anything is better than what I started with. I went from a topper to a full cap and never looked back. Guys like Dino have gradually increased their base size over the years with great results.
Try a 3/4 and if that doesn't work break out the clippers and go all out. One thing I have learned though is that you probably won't regret replacing any hair that is in bad shape.

Thank you for the tips
For what about attachment, is nape the more stressed/pulled area ?
I am considering of leaving a small "strip" of my hair on nape maybe that way it would appear more natural but I don't know if it is better for attachment resistance to attach in nape area or nearly on neck :?:
For sides I also though of leaving a few in the front part, so I hope to be able to hide the tape better...
