Thread: hello active sweaty guys

I wouldn't say I live a very, very active lifestyle like you, but I have bursts of very active time (competitive cycling and mountain biking), and I live in a sweaty part of the world. I find the piec... |

Thread: Braiding & weaving vs tape & glue
Post: RE: Braiding & weaving vs tape & glue
Braiding is technology from the 70's. It causes traction alopecia, the braid is highly detectable to the touch, and your piece becomes loose as your hair grows out. Plus you still have to depend on ... |

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 ... |

Thread: Hairline *pic*
Post: RE: Hairline *pic*
That's a first class result, especially for a first go. The more mature hairline contour greatly adds to the authenticity of the piece. No one would ever suspect this wasn't 100% natural. |

Thread: Dangers of using a "hard bond" for adhesive
Post: RE: Dangers of using a "hard bond" for adhesive
You have basically answered your own question. To leave a piece on for 3 weeks means your scalp gets dirty and itchy, and maybe a bit irritated. It's just not a good idea.
If you are going to wear ... |

Thread: Pics of my new piece
Post: RE: Pics of my new piece
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.

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? |
