    Where is a good hair system clinic in Sydney, Australia?

    Hey mate, I started out at AHS when I was 20, so it was certainly the path that I went down. I also reckon that it is a good place to start, however you’ll always need someone to do the cutin for your new hair and a monthly trim. I do have a couple of recommendations for salons in Melbourne...

    Where is a good hair system clinic in Sydney, Australia?

    Hey Flipkeyz, I live in Melbourne, so the heat is more dry than in Sydney. However the heat in Australia from about November to March on the east coast ranges from mid 20s to low 40's celsius, although the days in the 40's are fairly rare. In my experience, so long as you have a good bond...

    Need opinions on knots bleaching on this piece * PHOTOS*

    Hey Logic, Traditionally the knots on the system needs to be bleached to remove the black coloured dots which appear more obviously when placed against a bald scalp. Bleached knots minimise the visibility of the where the hair has been knotted into the lace. Bleaching the knots make the hair...

    How do you deal with hair growth under the system? + Servicing

    Hi If they do a perimiter bond, just abound the sides and the back, the hair can grow underneath the piece without too much problem. The only bit you have to watch out for is the front of the unit, where it needs to be taped down. When the unit is removed they will shave the growing hair and...

    Hair system recommendations?

    Hi, I wear a piece that just covers the top of my head. I have thought about a full cap, however I understand they can be a bit of a hassle bonding around the nape (back of the head near neck) - I guess that is because there is movement there. The biggest challenge with a top only piece is the...

    Hair system recommendations?

    Hey mate, In Aussie Rules, the head is not used in any special ways, however unless there is the chance that someone would pull on your piece hair hard, I don’t think there should be a problem – so long as you have a good bond. In my experience the best bond is achieved after a couple of days...

    Hair system recommendations?

    Hey mate, I just turned 23 and have been wearing a piece since I was 20. I have to admit that I don't play football in it, however I'm a competitive cyclist, and train 5 days a week and I am a profuse sweater. I think the key to security is having poly border around the base of the system. The...

    Getting a system again after shaving for 10 years...

    Liked your story, I guess I thought by the time I was 37 I thought I would be comfortable enough to ditch my fake hair, however I totally understand where you are coming from. I’m 22 and have been wearing a piece since I was 20 and I know what it is like to feel way older than your mates...

    Can I get a hair system even if I'm not completely bald?

    Hey mate, I'm pretty sure that just the top was a system and the sides and back was his natural hair (albeit dreadlocked). I reckon the best places to buy hair online is Northwest lace and coolpiece. You can save yourself a great deal of cash if you start out online, but I’m sort of glad I got...

    I reakon the plan to get a full cap is a good option, especially if you have to straignten your hair evey day. I personally don't know to much about full hair systems as mine only covers the top of my head.Perhaps someone with full cap experience could chime in? There was a guy who goes to a...

    Can I get a hair system even if I'm not completely bald?

    Hey Mate, I'm 22 and started wearing a system when I was 20 and they basically shave the top of your head where the balding pattern is and glue a hairpiece to the shaved area. The hair around your sides and back are your own. You can generally wear a system for a week at a time if you are DIY...
