Post: RE: full cap nape area (photo)

Another slightly off the wall idea which might work for you would be to have a very short ponytail at the nape. I'm sure you have seen the kind of thing I mean- just an inch-and-a-half of hair caught...

This is a really insightful piece for guys who are thinking of wearing. I agree with you that a hairpiece is never going to be literally undetectable. The base doesn't dematerialise, so it is there ...

Post: RE: tear in the lace

It's hard to do it undetectably if it's on the hairline. If the tear runs back from the hairline into the base, sew it up with invisible thread until within about 1 centimetre of the front, to stop i...

Don't mean to be hard on a newcomer, but this forum is hardly the place to ask that question, given that it is owned and paid for by Toplace.

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...

Well it definitely does look good, but I think a little scalp make-up would make the blend even better. Also, I would be slightly concerned that your real hair might get wet unexpectedly (in the rain...

Fair comment Craig. It's partly also that I am being a wuss. Helping him means outing myself to him, and I shy away from that. You're right though: I should man up and have a quiet word with him.

I agree with what others have said. Your piece seems too dense and bouffant, and kind of expands outwards at the top like a souffle. A 20-year old could get away with that, but it is eye-catching f...
