For that sort of money I would ask to see some actual hairpieces and ideally some actual customers in the flesh to see what extra you're getting.

Virtually all systems are made with hair that had been processed and coloured, so if he is suggesting otherwise that is just a bit of sales puff. But there are differences between different suppliers in the quality of the hair they use, the quality of the base material and the workmanship with...

Hey Mysteryman - yes, all good with me, but I am distressed at the way this forum has deteriorated. I was hoping Toobad's apparent disappearance might mean a return to sone semblance of normality, but I don't see any sign of that unfortunately. Everything good with you?

Thanks for the kind words man. I'm still around, but only just. Every time I come here I am depressed. For years this was the best resource on the Net who guys who wear a system or are thinking of getting one. Just look at it now. A couple of toxic personalities abetted by a few idiots have...

Hi Daniel, sorry about the slow response. Hydrocortisone cream is the usual remedy for rashes of that kind. Obviously if you can give your scalp a break by going without the system and wearing a cotton baseball cap for a day or two that would help. If you're in a situation where you have to...

Hi Daffie. If it's a stock piece, which most are these days because of Covid, it may just not be a snug fit. If there is too much base material, that will cause wrinkles. All you can do is arrange for the wrinkles to be at the back, where they are covered up by the dense hair, rather than at the...

Any half-decent seller can sell you one of these, and they will sew the clips on for you. If it was me I would use day-wear low-tac tape rather than clips for the reason you mention - the possibility of traction alopecia. They work amazingly well. The only thing you have to watch is that you...

The whole "computer-generated scalp" schtick is nonsensical - a silly marketing gimmick verging on a scam. Just generally, this company is over-priced and the design concept is poor. Stick with the more conventional designs and manufactures.

Pimping Hair Club for Men must be up there.

For me, this is the point. The damage done by a badly made hair system potentially goes well beyond the price of the hairpiece. If you are trying to keep your hairloss situation private, you are risking exposure of the fact you are wearing and the awkwardness that may cause. Even if you are open...

Or you could move the hairline down a bit and go for a more receded look with temple flaps:

I think this looks about right aesthetically for that amount of sidehair:

If the shadow that you can see on your uncle's head would actually grow out into viable hair, I think there would be enough to support a decent-looking toupee. The hairline would have to be a bit receded to keep it looking balanced, but it could still look good. My feeling is that so long as the...

Hi Yknoff I think what they are telling you is spot on. The system itself looks excellent. The colour and density look very good to me. You may get the feeling that the density is too heavy, but that is a familiar mental block that everyone gets when going from thinning hair back to normal...

I don't wear a full cap, but I have talked to quite a few guys who do. I think the first style would be pretty easy to achieve, the third style probably also possible, and the second style difficult.
