Does the exchange offer also apply to full caps? The Korean one I got is very sub standard.

Categories would be good and make it easier for newbies to find information. Maybe add "Glues and tapes", "Lace bases", "Skin bases", "Latest developments".

This has come up several times before. Do a search in the old fourm under 'Melbourne' - you should find two or three options available.

I can't imagine Advanced doing it cheaply. You can always send it over to Debbie with a picture of the style you want, about three weeks turnaround time.

Yes it does lay flatter, doesn't tangle as much either, and it stays glued down longer and is easier to clean up. You may need to spike it up a bit with some product. I'm currently wearing a 65% densi...

You don't need to tack a full cap down all the way round. It's so secure - it custom fits your head rather than just sits on top of it. I attach at the hairline (one piece of Walkers A contour tape,...

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.
