Hi again Kevin --delighted you found the info of use ---I know exactly what u mean about being self -conscious. Baldness suits some but not many and as you said, it makes you look your own age or even younger having a full head of hair ---- it literally makes me look 20 years younger. My stock unit is being sent today --- I`m sending in my template tomorrow for a custom - made unit so that will take a few more weeks----really looking forward to getting that. I don`t drink /smoke [I used to ] but I do believe in spending a bit on your appearance --it`s a self -esteem thing really and nothing to do with vanity ---- I would go so far as to say for many men. losing their hair is as upsetting as a woman losing hers --women always seem to get more ``understanding`` of the problems it cause for them yet men are told --``oh well --it`s in your family `` or some other similar sentiment ---in other words put up with it. My own has thinned at the back over the last year that the density difference is now too obvious between my unit and actual hair ---also when it was styled -in first day, she left it a little thin/short I reckon, and once my own caried on thinning it made a new one necessary. A stock unit will do me for now until I send the template. The one good thing I found with the Fiber as opposed to real hair is that it is quite fade -resistant and also the wind does not blow it around so you have no need of gels/sprays etc. I note you said you like it a bit spikey --try not use waxes suck as Dax --it`s a good product but can build - up and then you can shorten the life span of any unit by excessive washing / cleaning.L`oreal make a good gel called ``Invisifix`` available in most good pharmacies etc in various `strengths` and that is very easy to wash out ---you can get it in a pump-action spray too and it`s really good and as I say there is no residue or build -up.
Finally, as with your own hair, excessive sun -exposure [you won`t get much of that in Ireland or Scotland ] will fade the hair so if going to a hot country like spain etc, always keep a light baseball cap on during the day. I`m quite used to colouring my own hair too so if and when u need any advice there further down the road, I`ll be delighted to help --it`s simple really and again ,nothing to be afraid of.
Cheers for now Man and hope you`ll be delighted with it when it arrives. Let me know how you get on with finding a stylist too --will keep an eye on here --- Paul.
