Hi Sam If you are wearing a system single-handed (i.e. you don't have a wife or girlfriend who's helping you) you definitely need to invest in good mirrors - a big well-lit wall-mounted one plus a bi...

Hi Viserion - you look great in those photos. They are a bit blurry, but I can't see any sign of the base. Could you take a close-up of the problem area in sharp focus?

That's an excellent design - probably the most convincing hairline on a full cap that I have ever seen. I guess it must take a lot of time and effort to get that long exposed hairline looking perfect...

Hi Viserion - yes the extra strip of empty lace at the front is standard. Cut it off carefully with a very sharp pair of scissors - nail scissors are ideal. Some guys cut right up to the front hairs...

The French for 'hairpiece' is complement capillaire ("hair supplement"). I'm guessing OP is a French speaker.

Yes, 99% isopropyl alcohol does the same job. If you can't get that, rubbing alcohol (which is a lower percentage of purity) is better than nothing.

Post: RE: strongest tape

Are you letting it cure properly? It has to have at least 3-4 hours (ideally 24 hours) with no water and no heavy sweating. Ultrahold Tape is about the strongest I have found.

Hi Hairspray It sounds like you may be talking about being tested for sleep apnoea. If so, you will need to take the system off for that. But it is not a big deal - I just went in without my system...
