Post: Re: What is a indicator for choosing full cap?

Even if your temple points have receded back you can still do a topper. You will need to make a template so that it matches the temple points. Obviously you can't do a Brad Pitt hairline but you ca...

Post: Re: What is a indicator for choosing full cap?

my opinion would be to get a full cap if you have no sides or if you have thin sides and just want thicker hair on top. if you have thinner sides, then in order to do a topper you will need to match ...

Can't get much better than that! Nice color and density match. Excellent style. Has it thinned out much over the 6 months and do you use anything special to make it last that long?

I agree 100% that the most realistic hairline is achieved with glue. I also believe that if you are not completely exposing the hairline you can get a great look with st30 and it is very little work ...

The first thing you should do is try the St30 for the sides and back and even the front. Like I said if you can learn to apply the tape to your scalp in the front you don't have to cut them into stri...

I recommend trying Iglue. As for the st30, you can apply that to your scalp first. You can stretch the tape around to make it fit the contour of your hairline. The key is to remove the backing of ...

I would say start with a 65% density which is what the stocks are. From there you can decide if you need more or less but this is will work for the transition you are making.
