RE: Shortcut Questions
Hi Ruulkasar,
Welcome to the forum! The short style in the first picture is a 70-75% density. With the shorter style you need to have more density than average. At 70-75% you can still show some scalp for realism. Achieving that really short style can be tricky. Usually the guys that do that start out with a longer style and as they gain experience in hair wearing they go with the shorter style. A longer hair style is more 'forgiving' and you can do things such as cover all of part of the hair line and blend the sides and back together without being spot on. But with a really short style you've got to be much more accurate. Being a first time wearer without prior experience you're jumping into the deep end. But it can be done if you're careful. I recommend doing 2 things. First, get a stock unit. The density is 65-70% but still it's very close to the photo of the short cut style. You can experiment and cut the hair shorter as you feel comfortable. Second, try attaching the unit with 'Got 2 Be Glued Spiking Glue.' This will give you an easy 2-4 hold but better yet it's easy to remove so you can gain experience in doing attachments and positioning the unit properly. Going to a short hair style requires a quick learning curve so the more practice in removing and attaching the better. Once you're comfortable with the stock unit you can order a custom unit. All we need for a stock unit is a hair sample or color number. We can mail it out the same day it's ordered.
Regarding which glue to use, it does require some 'trial and error' to see what works best for you. By far our most popular tape is 'Walker No Shine' and our most popular glue is 'Base Bond' and 'Ultra Hold.' Those are good places to start. If you go to the Toplace home page and click on 'How to Order' you will find 3 options. Under option 3 you'll see a link to our products supplier and you can order supplies on line. Glues, tapes, and accessories are paid for and shipped directly from our products supplier. Lace Release is also available there but you can also use 91% rubbing alcohol and it will work just fine. And yes, Toplace accepts Paypal payments from Europe. Good luck!
Regards,
John
