You just have to own it man. I realize that being younger might carry a little more negative weight when wearing a piece, but really....it is what it is and for the most part if it looks good (there ...

Hopefully dino will chime in on this. If I remember correctly he had some issues with his full can not adhering properly in the temple area so maybe he would have some advice.

Hey shadow, I sweat buckets. It is very difficult for me to keep myself cool while doing an attachment, even to this day. One thing I have noticed is that I am often more prone to sweating for the f...

People who have never seen what concealers can do are often amazed at the results. Without concealers I wouldn't have even been able to think about wearing a partial unit. Before I switched to a full ...

With my attachment method (back to front, anchored at the nape prior to full attachment) it is pretty easy to keep the wrinkles out.

If it's on the hairline and you have excess lace in front, try trimming the lace back to the hairline. This isn't a problem with swiss lace, but on my units the french lace HAS to be cut back to the h...

Post: Re: Easier to wear a full cap or 3/4 ?

A 3/4 is essentially a big topper. You still have to worry about color and blending and such. A full cap has none of those issues but can be arguably less realistic in the temple/nape areas. My hair ...

Post: Re: Don't let wet piece dry without combing it

Yea, and don't be afraid to comb the hair when it is wet as long as the comb glides through the hair easily. If the hair is tangled you will pull out lots of hair, so be careful.

Xeon nailed it. Unfortunately I didn't realize this until I started wearing a full cap. The principal is the same though- tack down the back and the front will fall right into place.

Start with a topper. If your sides get too thin or the blending, color match, etc. becomes too much of a hassle, try a full cap. A full cap is not much more work and it's not harder to hide since you...
