Hair is hair --no matter what the base material is, and it has a certain `life`--- it will have to be replaced after a period of time due to washing/ shedding. NO WAY should anyone part with mega bucks for a system when Toplace will provide you with an EXCELLENT system at a fraction of what the cowboys want from you. At the cowboy prices, you`d need to apply for a mortgage for the rest of your life, because that is exactly what those prices amount to ---a mortgage !!! At, let`s say 2 systems a year, that`s 7 thousand !!!!!! A house would be cheaper !! I am wearing an all -lace system with a small polyurethane perimeter from temple to temple via the back of the head [ lace front] -- it was styled-in, early February, and is still in great condition and cost me approx 200 Dollars from Toplace. I`m delighted to have found Toplace and won`t be going anywhere else for my hair. I know what I`m talking about, having paid the rip -off prices from these `Salons` -- one here in Ireland was costing me 300$ a month by Direct Debit from my bank account for 2 systems a year ---at first the quality was fine, then they went to supplying 2 systems every six months --the hair was literally like horse hair --tough, dry. and you just couldn`t style it. My house mortgage was actually cheaper than the hair !!! Order from Toplace and you`ll have no worries --regards, Paul.

I believe he may be speaking of an "actual" suction hairpiece. It's not a new concept if so. I remember back in the early 90s some guys pitching these suction wigs. They were meant to do away with tape and glue, altogether. I believe you took the things off by running something small under the hairline. That would release the suction and pop!, off came the unit. I don't think many got into the thing because rumours abounded that the hairpiece too often went pop! when it shouldn't have.

At any rate, spending an extra $7,000 to avoid tape probably is a bad strategy.
