Why not try the G2BG route?

Thread: Knotted vs. Injected thin skin
Post: RE: Knotted vs. Injected thin skin
Here is a copy of the blurb on the skin,
'The front is capped with a thin poly edge. So you’ll get a decent appearance and a little more durability than a micro-skin base.'
So yes it appears that th... |

No v-looping on the very small 0.03mm leading edge skin, just enough skin to conceal I am told? |

Thread: Knotted vs. Injected thin skin
Post: RE: Knotted vs. Injected thin skin
What is the thinnest that skin can be to accept injected hair?
0.08mm seems to be the norm but I am sure I read,either on here or elsewhere, of 0.05mm skin having injected hair?
Anybody know? |

Post: RE: Knotted vs. Injected thin skin
If you zoom in on that first picture it is most definatly v-looped, no matter what they say!
You can clearly see the single hair going in, along underneath the skin and then out of the skin. |

The first hair picture looks suspiciously like v-loop?
Are you sure it is knotted hair? |

Thread: 99% alcohol and scalp protector
Post: RE: 99% alcohol and scalp protector
For G2bG you do not need 99% alcohol as it is't a glue. Good old fashioned soap and water will do the job nicely!
As for a scalp protector then this can lengthen your bond time as it will stop a lot o... |

Thread: Skin hairlines?

Most of us agree that when it comes to a natural scalp appearance then injected skin can be very impressive.
What holds back a skin system,in my opinion, is the hairlines.

My only 'down' about wearing is that I am bald and have no other realistic option available to me.
