Hey Rich,
I totally understand not wanting to let him in on your situation, however if you can find the courage to discuss this issue with him, it will give you a new friend who may be able to help with any issues you have with your piece.

If he is anything like me, I think he would gratefully accept the advice.

There is a lot of secrecy in the world of hairpieces and having someone to discuss these issues with on a one to one basis should be beneficial to both of you.

Good Luck. Craig.
