Thread: The delivery of a hairpiece
Post: Re: The delivery of a hairpiece
| It is indeed a legitimate concern, but not so much of an issue with TL thankfully.

Thread: Full Cap Base Designs, Your Thoughts
Post: Re: Full Cap Base Designs, Your Thoughts
| An all Psb full cap may be ok for colder climes provided you remove and wash the build up of sweat from your head every night. Right now it's 45C in the shade here (about 118F) in the middle of a hot ... |

Thread: Full Cap Base Designs, Your Thoughts

| I wouldn't recommend a skin full cap for continuous wear. Too hot for long periods and as others have mentioned those blunt edges can be a problem. Lace on the other hand works very well indeed. I usu... |

| Also agree with keeping the sideburns short for the exact reasons you state. Longer they are the more fake they appear. Longer hair helps but only to a certain extent. |
