Post: RE: sports and sweating

As soon as you start getting sweaty just pour some water from your water bottle over your head. Athletes and sportsmen do it all the time, and it looks perfectly natural.

Post: Re: How Can I go Grey? Want to Stop Coloring Hair

The problem is you don't know what the natural colour of your hair is (or rather the natural mix of colours) until you let it grow out for at least a couple of weeks. But you can't let it grow out fo...

Well done Waldo; welcome to the club. Sounds like you did overdo the gloop, but with GTBG it's easily remedied. It was a good idea to use such an easy adhesive to start with. I think most guys who ...

The only real way is to grow your side hair out as much as you can and get a hairpiece with a density which is not too much denser what you have been able to grow out. With the undercut styles that a...

It's simply not an issue. Your side hair does grow and gets a bit untidy and then it gets a trim, and no one pays enough attention to someone else's hair to notice that the top always stays the same ...

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...

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...

Vaseline is good, but I think the best thing is to pin your wig to a polystyrene wig head, then suspend the wig head upside down over the bath tub. That way, the dye will drip away from your base rath...

1. I won't say that you never get a bit of shine off tape, but it is made pretty matte to avoid that happening. If the lighting is so strong that it is making your tape shine, it would probably also s...

Post: RE: scalp protector

No, it's a barrier liquid. It dries to form a clear impermeable layer which stops your natural oil and sweat getting onto your adhesive and breaking down your bond.

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...
