Taping the front is great not only to prevent shedding but it also massively reduces the amount of maintence I have to do - the tape holds solidly for over a week or even two whereas the adhesive would initially be even stronger than tape is, but weaken after only 3 days. To answer your...

That’s right, I can’t have an exposed hairline. Luckily I don’t really suit a style with an exposed hairline - my hair looks better when it ‘naturally’ falls forward at the hairline. I can kind of lift the hair at the front so it’s higher than the rest and frames my face better but it does still...

I use Walker Ultra Hold tabs. I used Walker No Shine for the first few years but found it to be much more difficult to clean during maintenance. The Ultra Tape holds just as well and doesn’t leave loads of sticky residue during cleanup. It also comes off the system (especially the poly) very...

I wear lace systems with poly back and sides. I used to get 6 months out of a system, my last one and current one will be around a year (current one probably quite a bit more). biggest change I made was taping the front. Any previous systems would thin at the hairline due to the adhesive and...

This whole thing reminds me of a couple of my own experiences, maybe worth sharing. The first is from the only person who I’ve told I’m wearing a hair system. He says he sincerely forgets/doesn’t ever think about it when he sees me. The second is my own gf who I’m sure knows I’m wearing but...

A hair system was actually my last resort and I was reluctant to try it. I figured if it didn’t work I could take it off and life would go on without any consequence. A few years later it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. looks don’t change proportionally when you look at people with...

Most if not all men are deemed to look better with hair Vs without it. Baldness isn’t an option for everyone, myself included!

I’m gonna take the advice of this guy who has plugs and wore a hair system (WIG) for 23 years and accept my baldness.

Are we supposed to assume that this guy bought one wig in 1982 and wore the same one for 23 years? X-D

Some of the things I do which I think help a lot with longevity: 1. Gently brush morning and night, just before bed and straight after getting up. This helps loads with preventing tangles or knots in the hair. 2. I don’t use any products in the hair. A lot of people here really like UV...

I remember those thoughts and feeling very well. I’m 31, I tried or seriously considered every possible remedy for hair loss since I was 19. I eventually tried a hair system 4 years ago and I’ve never looked back. Back then a hair system was the only option left for me, I had run out of all the...

Hair systems are so expensive, I’m always thinking about and talking about how to increase their longevity. One of the biggest breakthroughs I’ve had (took about 2 years of wearing) was to figure out how to avoid tangles completely. Happy to go into details on that if you want but the WTC plays...

I wear a lace system with a poly rim on the back and sides. I’ve always used Walker no shine with a bit of adhesive on the back for luck but nowhere else. what are your opinions about Walkers No shine, ultra hold and blue tape? Do you mix them and are some better for lace or for poly? what...

As many have said it depends: It mostly depends how far on you are through your current wear and how long you’ll rest it for. I usually get two weeks wear. The unit gets exponentially easier to remove and clean as the days go by. I’d probably never take it off for anything if it’d been on for...

I’d never bring it up voluntarily for the reasons others have listed. I’m not proud of the fact I have to do this, it was something I had to do due to my hair loss - something I hated and couldn’t control. If baldness, hair loss or wigs ever come up in conversations (which they occasionally do...
