Thread: Question to JRob
Post: Re: Question to JRob
| I think skin full caps have their place. Mostly as emergency back ups and for quick fit and removal as you can wear them without tape or glue as they sort of mould themselves round your head. Good for... |

Thread: handling a certain social situation
Post: Re: handling a certain social situation
| If anyone asks, just tell them you dye your hair. Is there a social stigma about men doing this these days? Probably not so much as wearing a wig still. I wear a full cap and dye it sometimes anyway (... |

Post: Re: Full caps in hot climate areas?

Thread: The Downside to Swiss Lace on a Full Cap
Post: Re: The Downside to Swiss Lace on a Full Cap
| My full caps are all French with SFS only at the hairline. I too made the mistake once of ordering SFS temples and sideburns. I usually pull the sideburns down firmly when attaching so it stretches th... |

Thread: Tip to make bald spots on wig less noticable.
Post: Re: Tip to make bald spots on wig less noticable.

Thread: How to get bleached knots?
Post: Re: How to get bleached knots?
| Just be careful bleaching them. The last one I got re-bleached lasted a mere five weeks - the hair fell out by the truckload. That's the risk you take with bleaching, it can damage the hair structural... |

Thread: Full Cap Base Designs, Your Thoughts
Post: Re: Full Cap Base Designs, Your Thoughts
| I wouldn't recommend a skin full cap for continuous wear. Too hot for long periods and as others have mentioned those blunt edges can be a problem. Lace on the other hand works very well indeed. I usu... |

Thread: full cap or topper ?
Post: Re: full cap or topper ?
| I'd start with a topper if your sides are good. Plenty of time for a full cap later on. Both have their pros and cons. I started out with toppers, but now I'm a full cap convert. |
