Got a little money?

Go the the Windsor convention and you wll leave with a full head of hair and comlete know how. Cost is one plane ticket. Rewwards - priceless.

Or you can take the longer learning curve, longer approach

Get MIchigan Baldy's video (there is alink somewhere) - it shows you how to do everyhing.

The steps in a nutshell:

Make a template, take a hair sample, order on line at this site and send in the hair sample and template. I'd order 2 or 3 pieces all in one shot. Whatever you think your density is subtract 5%-10%.

Order a few different types of glues and maybe tapes. Tapes are bit more difficult to work with as a newbie.

When the pieces arrive take them to a salon that deals with this - or do it yourself - the salon can shave your head show you how to attach and do the cut in. Go back a week later and have them cut in and attach piece number 2. ONe weekend try to do the cut in and attachment on piece number 3. Immediately order 2 or 3 more pieces and change density and/or base if necessary.

If you go to the convention the wait time in learning curve will be practically nothing compared to the old fashioned way I just sketchily outlined. Once you go piece wearing a hat is not a viable option, although some do it.
