Hi guys, Took a few pics yesterday of the system, which was cut/styled-in, early August. Allowing for the way this camera always lets me down regarding pic-quality and making things look `` odd``, it just gives a little idea of how much wear a person can get from a system with a little care and proper treatment. In one there you can see how my own is growing down a bit at the back there and the body-wave of the system hair is more obvious in comparison to my own which is straighter.... I usually use a little gel / conditioner on my own to get a better match... I deliberately didn`t before taking the pics........ am probably going to go for straight hair on my next system and was thinking of going for a different style too---still not decided. The front hair on one pic looks a bit `wiggy`---it`s the camera...it`s fine in reality...... I wouldn`t go outside the door if it wasn`t right..... I honestly never ever catch people giving the hair a second glance and that`s something we are all `tuned in` for as wearers. The top of the head /system looks very thin --it`s that blasted camera for some reason [ I think it`s the amount of natural light coming in the window which enables it to literally focus right almost into the scalp ]........ it looks just fine in reality. Paul.

you look great even without styling paul... just one question from a beginner.. what's that red thingy in the top?? is it from the camera??

goodbye great guy!

Thanks younggun...I`m not sure what you mean about red though..can you be more specific? If you mean looking through the hair in pic 3..that`s just the scalp showing through the hair-- this webcam is more like an x-ray thing than a camera ! It seems to make some of the hair invisible and you`d think the density was only like 20% ....it`s really strange. Paul.

Paul I really like the style you have gone for and looking at these pics I would like to go for a similar style. Is the system freestyle? In your opinion how different would it look if the system hairs were ventilated forward? Thanks.

Hi person, Yeah it`s freestyle, colour 1b, sfs base with a poly perimeter temple-to-temple around the back, the front obviously being sfs. Density is 55% ..the camera thing makes it look less but it`s not. The beauty of freestyle is you can `train`it into whatever way you want the hair to lie..after a week or so and especially after the first wash, when you`ve brushed it back into your `style`again, apply knot-sealer and you`ll `lock`the hairs into that position... it will hold that style thereafter..... it`s very easy to work with as it allows leeway for you to `tweak`the style to the one you like best... regards, paul.
p.s. ... to get it to kind of stay `fluffed-up`like that and so the wind won`t affect it while out, I spray in leave-in conditioner, at night when I de-bond it, allow to dry in overnight, and simply mist with water in the morning,again, allowing it to dry naturally---it`s magic !

Paul, how often do you do you maintenance??

Another topic guys: Since I am so mentalised about hair system, I not taking anymore any drug and I am so relaxed now... when I see that I can't handle my hair, I'll do the transition..now I am keeping it short.. and guess what... 1 weeks and half since I left that "sh**" propecia and I had my first erection in the morning in one year of taking that pill.. and my relations now has no comparison with the ones I had when I was on the drug... and all of this thank to hairpieces.. I'm not a wearer yet, but I will be for sure.

Thanks guys, and keep having that beautiful hair paul.

Well...you will have `beautiful hair`too.....just order from Toplace !!
I have no set rule for when I wash/condition........ since I bought the ``Remysoft`` 3-stage system , I wash, condition etc. with a bit more frequency now, as I feel I`m doing the hair system positive good; as those products are specifically for system hair and have no harmful sulfates....when I only had shop-bought shampoo etc I was wary and cautious, that I was actually shortening the life of the system rather than doing positive things to it.... I still use my Revlon ``Equave 2 -phase conditioner`` ... I just back-brush the hair, and spray that on [ not too heavily] making sure to coat the hair down towards the base.....not much point in just spraying it onto the `outside`of the hair...you need to get it onto the hair shaft....it`s a leave-in conditioner and really excellent it is too. I don`t see any point in washing a system daily or almost daily --you`ll wash the `life`out of it in no time. Certainly in warm weather and if you have been sweating a lot, of course you need to wash the sweat off...the acid in sweat will damage / rot a base...even Poly gets pin holes and tears sooner from exposure to sweat...... if you sweat a lot, and need to wash frequently, take it easy with the amount of shampoo you use.... I usually only do it once in 10 days and sometimes a little longer... I do a de-bond nightly though so that helps too...everyone`s needs/lifestyle will be that bit different though, and also in colder weather, we obviously don`t sweat as much as in Summer. I mist it nightly with water and every 3 or 4 days I spray on the conditioner..... you`ll find your own likes/dislikes and routine...... this game is not as difficult as people imagine..... look at how Antywanty has taken to it like a duck to water in a few weeks !!! Paul.
p.s. I Googled Revlon Equave conditioner, and along with the 2-phase one I mentioned, I see they also do a `Summer protect`` one specifically for exposure to UV radiation, salt[sea] water and chlorine so might be good for you younggun with your surfing etc.

thanks a LOT paul, that really helped. I'm getting and expert in the theorical stuff... let's see the practice

Looks great as usual, Paul. Can't wait to see you work your magic on a full cap.
