Hi Steak, great to see more guys from Melbourne here. I have been wearing for an year and there is definitely a learning curve in the first few months until you get better with ordering, styling, attachments etc. My suggestion if you only have slight hair-loss at the front and top, a transplant is a better alternative. It might cost a bit in the beginning but will work out better in the long run.
But if you are a diffuse thinner like me then a transplant wont last you for too long and a hair piece is the only option. Toplace is by far the cheapest place to order your hair-pieces and I doubt you will find anything better for the price.
Steak Wrote:1. Silly question but do you guys get your peices from toplace. Yes i know silly question but reason for asking is i was wanting to know were to buy one.
Yes, only tried TOPLACE so far and don't think I need to try any one else as I am very happy with the quality of the pieces and the service is excellent.
Steak Wrote:2. I ordered a system from a guy in australia. He was fantastic help,reasonable price, but when i got it the density was to thick. Wouldnt look natural. I have hair on top but its very fine and thin. Im using nanofibres to cover it but wanted a better solution, more natural and not a notice big change. Rather than having the black powder coming out in my hands sometimes. But looking for a natural piece.
If everything else about the piece is OK then you can try reducing the density by carefully plucking hairs out all over the piece. Be careful not to rip the base though and also keep in mind that the density goes down a tad after a couple of attachments. Try sending it to Debbie and see if she can fix it up for you.
Steak Wrote:3. Is there anywhere in melbourne that i can get a good price and fit of a custom hair piece than can be cut in without costing me 1000s ??
I suggest making a template and send it off to John from TOPLACE. Describe the look you are after and send him some photos too and I am sure he will get you a custom piece that will be better than those $2000 pieces you are talking about.
Well..hope this helps you on your journey and Good Luck!!
Note : Still haven't found anyone who has experience doing hair piece cut-in's.
