    How to extend softness and general lifespan?

    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am already doing most of these. I do 1, 3, and most of 4 (will try the ten minute conditioning though). I do use leave in conditioner to make sure it doesn't dry out though I have noticed it gets worse if I overdo it on that but the feeling of that usually...

    How to extend softness and general lifespan?

    I started wearing about two months ago. There's been stress but overall I love it and feel way more confident. My only worry is making each system last long enough that it's actually affordable to continue. Two months in, my system is starting to feel a bit drier and stiffer. It will just stick...

    Looking for a good hair replacement stylist in the UK

    Hi all, I've been looking into getting a system for a long time now and a long while ago I was given some advice on good salons in the UK. Sadly, the one I had decided to go with seems to have since closed down as their website is now a dead link and I can't find any info online about them. I'm...

    First System Arrived Much Darker Than My Natural Hair

    https://imgur.com/a/2n988H7 With pics and a second opinion I think it's a lot closer than I initially though but what do you think? I sent a hair sample, grincher

    First System Arrived Much Darker Than My Natural Hair

    I just received my first system in the post having had it shipped from the US to the UK but having received it the colour is significantly darker than my natural hair. Is there anything I can do about this? I sent a hair sample to the company I bought from so I didn't expect this issue. Would...

    Is Blending A Hair System Easier Or Harder As It Gets Longer?

    Hi, I'm going to be wearing my hair about shoulder length from a crown piece (keeping my hairline) and I was wondering if longer hair is harder or easier to blend? Also, would going to a women's hairdresser who knows about extensions or a women's hair replacement stylist make more sense? I know...

    Salon For System Cut-in And Application, England

    Hi, I posted a few days ago asking if anyone knew about any good salons for application and cut-in in Yorkshire, England. I didn't get any replies so I decided to widen my search a little. Anyone know any decent places to get a a cut-in in England? I'd be bringing my own system from north west...

    Hair System Salons In Yorkshire, England

    Hi guys, I'm looking at getting my first system (crown only) from northwest lace. It'll be about 14" long, I'm sending hair samples for colour, and I'm doing a template of the area. However, I would like to have someone perform the shave and cut in and fitting at least the first time until I...

    Hair Extensions Or Crown Fixes Without Full Hairpiece

    Hi guys, Thanks so much for the advice. I think a salon sounds like what I'd want at first just for the sake of confidence. I can see trying to reach round and shave and template my own crown being very difficult and I really wouldn't want to screw it up at first. I live in the north of England...

    Hair Extensions Or Crown Fixes Without Full Hairpiece

    To be fair, it's not just my crown, I do have a receding hairline but a combo of long hair and always having had a far back hairline even as a child makes me not as bothered about that for now, it never seems to earn the same disgust or cause quite the same effect on my appearance as the...

    Hair Extensions Or Crown Fixes Without Full Hairpiece

    Hi, I'm 21 and my crown has been thinning for years (a lot now) and I'm about ready to give up. I wear my hair long and always have and it's an integral part of my identity (as well as something literally every girl I've ever dated or wanted to date has preferred so there's that). To that end...
