HairlossTalk Support Forums

Was wondering whether people could post images, or supply a link, of what they think a good system looks like. I havnt got a whole lot of context.

I dont think there is such a thing as a good hair system

MichiganBaldy is a poster here that has poster lots of photos of his hairpieces that are absolutely mindblowing, as far as realism. Maybe do a search for his username.

There are hairpiece specific forums out there with tons of photos.

Many of us are a bit reluctant to post pictures on these forums, as they can be heavily anti-hairpiece in their members' feelings.

I'm not anti hairpiece


I just think that the pictures that many sites put up are sales pictures which don't tell the full story of how well the piece will fare with time. I've heard plenty of horror stories about people who've spent a ton of money on a really top notch piece of hair technology, only to have it end up like something you'd reconsider wiping your feet on in a few months.

I agree 100%! Most hairloss companies (pills, concealers, wigs, or transplants) use really deceptive marketing and very carefully chosen photographs.

You're right, as well, about hairpieces having a lifespan. I get mine decently cheap, so I'm not all that inclined to keep wearing after they start wearing out, but after a few months they do lose a bit of color and shine. I know I could re-color them all the time, but honestly, as cheap as they are from some of the online places, it's more of a hassle to me to try and fight off the effects of aging on the strands.

Want to see some pics, try watching this video download that I made (with the help of a good high tech friend)
This video will show you some close ups of the hairline, what it looks like, what its like having it on, sleeping in it etc.

Go to this link- http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JNLWCF0Z
and in the upper right hand corner you will see "download" it might be covered up by a pop-up ad so you`ll need to close that first.
Anyhow, you will see 3 letters that say please enter (the letters) here.
Enter the letters you see into the box then click download. You should see a timer that counts to 45 seconds, then your default media player will start to play the video.
Try it and let me know how it looks.

Great Video indeed, very supporting and educating.

May we ask, how to get good systems like this online ? I mean how to evaluate a good company online, because there are lot of scams. Second company you buy from online ? If you would like to reveal ? Otherwise i completly respect your privacy.

Thx,

That hairpiece came from toplace.com
I have worn hair from coolpiece.com too and their hair is also very good.
Hairdirect.com is another good company, as they have technicians you can talk to plus they (somehow, I dont know how) deliver the hair already cut and ready to wear.
Each of these companies offers something that the others do not, making them unique for whatever situation someone is in, they can use one or the other.
I am soon going to sample hair from a UK company, and if its as good as the others they`ll be added to the list.

Thanks

Have you tried maxpiece.com ?, they seems more informative and clear on website.

Second if there are some hair systems or non surgical solutions just
for temples and hairline or only temples ?

Thanks a lot,

That is a great video. Thanks!

Does the piece have to be removed and reglued daily? How does it hold up to swimming?

Thanks again!
