Hallo a' Phaul,

I speak a bit of Gaelic, I agree about Scots/Paddies - We're originally the Scotti tribe from Ireland. . An old Billy Connolly joke about the Scotti's ''Hey Guys, let's go to an even rainier place'' ;-)

Once again, your Information is fantastic, I'm going to print this thread off with the information for when my system comes. Really great to have inside information. I'm preparing myself for the transition quite well, reading these threads and also I've been wearing a lot of Baseball caps and Beanies recently. So, hopefully that'll help the mental preparation too, I'm hair is quite thick on the top but thin if that makes sense? It's thick, but with sporadic thin areas too, if that makes sense? I've gone for the system mostly because of my frontal recession, the balding at the crown etc is only recently, so almost killing to birds with one stone etc.

I'm the same as you bud, in the sense of going for a System as I've shaved my head before and I really don't suit it, I almost have a peanut shaped crome haha, and even if my hair is really short, I feel much better with a bit more hair , and I'd love to be able to style it with a bit of a spiked fashion or quiffed etc, I can't really do that as I need to almost side-sweep it for the recession.
Sounds vain, but I felt better with 'normal' hair, looked better and being 26 and all my pals having hair, my older brother who's 30, runs his own business, 3 kids, has his full frontal area, and no signs of thinning. Also, I fancy looking my age and feeling a bit more confident. The last few years or so, if I've had no time to plan 'my hair' as daft as that sounds, I'd almost wear a Baseball cap all the time, getting fed up of the excessive baseball cap wearing. I don't mind wearing one now and again, but not almost every time I go out.
And when I do my hair, it's getting to the stage where it's taking a lot of work to make it sit right, and then that's now allowing for a bit of wind, rain etc where one big blust will blow it all over the place, haha, and finally, the cost of concealers, such as Nanogen etc. Ok, not as expensive as a few systems and supplies, but probably not far off, £25 odd pound or so for a bottle of Nanogen fibres from Garden pharmacy..

Sorry, I'm going on a bit now, but all the best, and thanks again for your time and help.
Amazing people out there to help us newbee's on what to do.
