Hi fate, Yeah ..am pleased with this one though it came back denser than the previous two,[same template and specs.] .. I thought this would look a bit ` iffy` but the stylist did a good job which also helps in a big way.....the fact that these are hand-made, will always mean there`s a variance from one order to the next.
I find and have said this many times, that ``less is best`` when it comes to systems, in terms of shampooing and using styling-products..... I use a little Gel , only on windy days....even sometimes, just a little of the ` Got2b` here and there helps hold the style /shape --there`s no build-up in the hair as it simply rinses away fully in the shower... I seldom shampoo the hair ....I only shampoo the base, once it`s off my head.....you can wet the hair as often as you like, but shampooing it, leads to dryness, colour-fade and shedding-out........ I only use some of my leave-in conditioner a few times a week [ http://www.amazon.com/Premiere-Products-...B003SEYTNO and sometimes a little serum onto the damp hair...
I do a nightly removal----it`s only a matter of hopping into the shower and letting the water soak into the system.... I think not sleeping with it on, helps prolong the life of the hair.
I usually get a minimum of around 5 months wear from these systems...pretty happy with that.
I think the TL factory seems to be relatively consistent when it comes to hair -quality and usually your specs. are reasonably as you require....there can , of course be an occasional ` blip` but it goes with the territory.....generally they do a reasonably good job.
With my last two Fullcaps, once they had shed out considerably, I actually cut the flaps off them and exposed quite a bit of my own hair ------incidentally, I stopped shaving my head this summer in order that I could use Got2b glued instead of tapes, as the shine from the tapes under strong sunlight was making me paranoid....Got2b sticks better to stubble /short growing hair and there`s NO shine from it......my temple-points are still ` good` so I trimmed the base of the system pictured in this thread, so that the temples and lower bit of the sideburns are visible ...it helps to ` soften` the overall look I think....do you wear Fullcaps? If so, see if your temples/ sideburns will grow for you..you could utilize them in a similar way.I`ll post a few other photos of the same system tomorrow....I think I have a few more of the nape area from a ` lower` angle ...kind regards!
