i have a few questions i would like to know the answer to.This is all about how your new looks not how much time you have to spend on attachment or the worry of being found out,just looks of the hair.
please anwser as honestly as possible.

when you look in the mirror ,do you see
(A)I have my appearence restored to how it was before,it looks great and it looks undetectable,it is the best thing i have ever done
(B)it looks good not as good as it did when it was my natural hair but still most people would not be able to tell and i can live with it happily
©the hairpiece looks ok but i still see wig when i look in the mirror but hey anything is better than looking at a bald head.
(D)it is not what i thought it would be sometimes i think it might be better just going with a bald head at least i would not be paronoid.

when posting please specify which option you think you are...this will have no bearing on my decision to wear hair or at least try to wear hair
and having looked on every website known to man i think toplace is probably going to be the best for me,

C... trying to get the best combination of things to make me feel comfortable but so far every wig iv had there have been things i dont like about it, feel the base, too thick in places, too thin in places, etc. but without it i think i would have committed suicide a long time ago. loosing it was difficult.

For me somewhere between A and B.
It looks natural.
Here are some key things:
light density,
Have 5-10% gray if you are in 40s,
Nail the color. Err on the lighter side if anything.
Make hairline high and with a generous "V" countour. Make it age appropriate.
Have it cut in by a stylist that does this.
Attach hairline like this:
Use tape, but leave 1/2'' or less for glue. Looks great.

Guys,
My friends dont even know that I wear. They are freakin clueless man.
I was on a 3v norwood scale.
Went on a long vacation, I was very tanned and dropped weight.
When I came back from vaca, I went for my cut-in (first timer).
My stylist did great job (50usd).
When I was going to meet with a bunch of friends, I wet the hair and slicked it back. Also, have a side part so there is tonnes of scalp showing.
I got zero comments about the hair. No looks "up there". Nothing LOL.
I'm almost 30 days into hair wearing and it's not that hard.

When my stylist shaved my dwindling hairs on top of my head I told her that if this sucks, I'll just shave it all off LOL.
She said that I would love it. She is right.
