Post: RE: First hair system ( picture )

Hi Campouuuu It looks absolutely normal and correct. No one would even look twice at it. The density is perfect for a guy your age. Relax and enjoy! BR

With curly hair you have one more spec to get right, namely the degree of curl. But once you do get it right I think having curly hair makes wearing easier. The curl hides any little imperfections i...

Post: RE: temple hair loss - receeding more and more

It would be more useful to see a picture of what you have left without the system. Could you show that? My first impression is that you look fine in those pics.

Hi Davies75, congrats on making it to 10 years. I think it's about the same for me. You're lucky that you have been able to stick with the hairline partial - I started with a partial, but have had t...

Hi Younglace; your unit looks good - a nice low-key easy-care style. It sounds like Got2BGlued is not for you. With a brushed down style like that you could use all tape - I would recommend Walker N...

Yes, I think your instinct is right - if you brought it down to the scar it could look a bit unbalanced. If you keep it where it is but replace your thin Toppiky hair with nice healthy hair, that wil...

Hi MattyCham. That strip of bald lace is part of the manufacturing process, and has to be cut off before you wear the piece. Some people cut it right back to the hair, and others leave a millimetre ...

Have you tried 3 mil tape for the hairline? It is not really tape, more glue in a tape format - there is no plastic strip. I find it works better than glue in sweaty situations. The look is not qui...

You can repair your current tape attachment with Got2BGlued, no problem. I will write to you about the redness issue tomorrow.

I would think the fear of that would be very distracting, unless you are very cool about the unit being ripped off. Would (could) you consider using head protection?

If we assume cost (or rather, longevity) is not an issue, I would say go for all Swiss lace. French lace is very slightly more robust and very slightly more detectable, but the difference is small. ...

Superb result. I love the fullness and density of this. Do you think there is much advantage in having the poly rim? I was a bit concerned it might be feelable with the high and tight cut. Rich
