Hi NoHairNoFair,
Thanks for joining the discussion. You're doing the right thing by being pro active with your hair loss. Hair loss doesn't improve with the passage of time. Here's the answers to your questions.
1. We use Indian Remi hair. There's a lot of 'smoke and mirrors' in this business and one of them is the European hair thing. There are some hair supply companies out there that claim they will sell you European hair and charge you a lot for it--but it's really Indian hair. Indian hair is used in the vast majority of hair pieces. And you just pay a premium for what they claim is European hair. I've seen real European hair side by side with Indian Remi hair and the difference is undetectable. The cost for European hair is about triple that of Indian hair and
you just can't see the difference. For men's styles of up to 6" there is virtually no difference. And if you add styling product to your hair it just a non-issue. I have
seen women's systems with 16" hair and longer and the difference between the two becomes slightly noticeable. Save your money on this and don't fall for the scam.
2. We have many customers that work out regularly and play sports. We have the TL 600 Exercise Base that has poly all around (except for the front 1" which is lace for realism) and this provides a smooth solid surface for a strong attachment needed for a work out. We also have the TL 250 French lace with poly on the back and sides that is also strong and undetectable. Our customers swim, work out, jog, ride bike, play tennis, etc. without a problem.
3. Density is dependent on the density of your own hair on your back and sides. You want the density of the hair system to blend with the density of your own hair so that it is undetectable. You can send in a photo of your back and sides and I can better advise you on the proper density which will be contingent on your hair style. The only restriction on bases and density is the Ultra Lace TL 800--it's so fine that it can only hold densities of up to 60%. All the other bases can hold up to an extra heavy density. All systems are undetectable to the sight. However, systems with poly on the back and sides can be detectable to the touch. That's the trade off for using poly. To some people it doesn't matter--to others it's a concern.
4. Yes, you can wear these units when you sleep. We recommend that you sleep on a satin or silk pillow case as cotton both 'wicks' the hair dry and 'hooks' the hair causing it to break. The length of your attachment will depend on the strength of the glue and tape that you use. It's takes some 'experimentation' to see what you like best but most users go for 1-3 weeks before that need to remove the system, clean their scalps, and re-attach.
5. That's dependent on several factors such as body chemistry, lifestyle, frequency of washing, water quality, etc. Again, you need to experiment for find out what's right for you.
6. Please send an email to
[email protected] along with the city you live in and we'll give you a list of stylists in your area. If you live in a suburb of a big city please let us know the name of the city as we might have someone in the metropolitan area.
7. Yes. Debbie is very talented and can do any hair style.
8. That's extra heavy density 85-90%. His sides are medium density or less but the hair very quickly transitions to extra heavy. A young guy like you could pull this off--it gets tougher with age.
9. I assume you mean 'can the hair on the system match my own hair on the back and sides in both color and texture?' Yes--our factory will match both color and texture.
Glad to answer your questions.
Regards,
John
