Have Toplace changed the density chart? - Mr.Burns - 01-07-2009

Just curious if anyone else has noticed a slight difference in the past year. I always ordered 73% with Toplace, and I always got a piece with just the right amount of overall density and a good thick hairline.

Now when I order a 73% density piece, the hairline comes back looking a little thin for my liking. Yes, it looks ultra realistic and totally undetectable, but it seems to be graduated quite a bit, something that didn't happen in the past unless you requested it.

So I'm thinking of ordering my next piece with 70% density all around, and an 80% hairline to offset this problem. Would that be a good / bad idea?

well, based on what I just saw with Leamon's pics I don't know what to tell you, his hairline looked pretty doggone good. It didn't look too thin and he said that was 60% density 1/4" into the hairline and 70% all around. I am also confused on what to order.

Well boys, I've always ordered 70 and my last order in August was right on.

I have a new unit coming next week that is all 68.
I'll update ya'll when my piece comes in.

Leamons pics look great. But it depends on your head shape, etc. I'm sure you'll that a higher density at the front suits me best - check my pics..

Mr. Burns is right, it depends on head shape, style, etc..., but Rod, try not to stress yourself out with all the choices out there, I think if you just go with certain specs, you'll be able to make it work. Since I don't like the front too thick, I went a little lower. I might actually go lower with my next order. To me, a little thinner in front is less suspicious than too thick. Plus if it's only 1/4 inch of thinness, it shouldn't be too bad.

If you're still indecisive, then go with the 60% in front! SFS. Good luck! Let us see pics when you get them please.

Same thing happened with me. Very graduated front.

Just to illustrate; this is how I looked with a lower density hairline (while outside, scalp would show through the hairline like when I was loosing my hair):

Ultra realistic - yes. And I know for some people this is the holy grail, but...

I'd prefer something like:

Different for everyone I guess...

The 2 70's I got in August were exactly like your last 2 pics.

I dialed down my last order to 68.

They should be here next week so I'll let you know.

Mr. Burns- Perfect example of how a guy can easily get away with a higher OR lower density.

I wouldn't mind bumping up the density on my units, but with a full cap you have to be careful with the sides. it can start looking wiggy real quick if the density is too high and/or the ventilation isn't correct.

Re: Have Toplace changed the density chart? - Mr.Burns - 01-09-2009

Very true Rob. And I imagine that a full cap needs to have a complex set of specs to look correct.

While I can get away with lower density, it definitely makes me look quite older! But I already have the grey hairs for that thankyouverymuch Smile
