Put your finger on the back of your head and push the lace then rub slightly with the same amount of pressure as if you were rubbing a mark off the wall.... You can feel the roughness can't you? It doesn't feel like a normal scalp.

Actually, no, there is a little roughness from the French lace, but nothing that would make anyone suspect anything. I have had a couple of units in the past that were made with too low of a density that had single hairs ventilated in the back which made the "return" (which is essentially stubble from the other end of the hair) feel prickly. Those two units were DEFINITELY detectable, but that was the only time I have ever seen that happen.

I have been reading Dino's posts over quite a few years, and he has had a lot of problems with his hairpieces, and been busted a few times. He wears a full wig because his sides have given up the ghost and he has no choice. Rob actually runs some kind of hairpiece-related business. So neither of these people's results can be taken as the norm.

Hey Baldrich,

There were certainly some growing pains when I switched to a full cap (Dino made the transition soon after I did), and there is a learning curve to hair replacement in general, but the pics on this thread of that full cap were nothing more than a standard Toplace unit ordered from a template and cut in by a stylist. Heck, Dino doesn't even use a stylist. He cuts all of his units himself!

So yes, I agree, you do have to put the time in before you will really get the hang of it, but the good thing is a few of us have already worked out some of the kinks so it isn't like it was a couple of years ago when there were only a very small handful of guys doing the full cap thing. Lots more support and knowledge out there nowadays.
