Reubin Thanks very much for the marked-up picture; that is really interesting and inspiring. I guess with such a 360 degree high definition hairstyle you must have to get the placement of your hairp...

That's rather alarming. How did it lift? What adhesive were you using?

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?

Are you the same Phoenix that had a lot of grief from a badly shedding unit back in the BA days? Did you ever get compensation from him?

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.

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 ...

Don't even think about it dude. I'm certain hair systems would be worn by far more men if HCM didn't exist - they have poor quality thick detectable pieces at frankly ludicrous prices, and their whol...

I don't think there is any danger of the barber accidentally f**King up your hairpiece. You show him where the edge of your piece is, then he scoops up the false hair and clips it up with a spring cl...

I don't pretend to be any kind of guru, but I still think you would be better with some small sharp scissors. Or you could pin the piece to a polystyrene wig head and do it with a blade.

The women's pantyhose analogy is not a perfect one. The lace is more open-textured and less substantial than pantyhose, and unlike pantyhose it sinks into the thin layer of glue, so that it is virtua...

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

Presumably Dino asked for flat base-hugging ventilation. Are you saying your wig stuck up like that straight out of the envelope, and you're not using any product?

It's a pretty good style for undetectability I would have thought. No one is going to be running their hands through that, and the hairline is well concealed.

Your sides don't look that bad - curly hair hides a whole lot. If you had straight hair you would look a lot balder than you do now. I think you are a great candidate for the standard oval "toupee" ...
