I came across a picture of Al Pacino in Scarface and noticed his hair system. I've read that he's been wearing a piece for decades now but it was interesting to actually be able to spot it thanks to the fact that I'm now a system wearer myself. Zoom in and notice the colour difference (and...

Did you try to save your hair with minoxidil before it got that bad? When I grew out my side hair for the first time in years after getting a system I've noticed DUPA-like hairloss on my sides (luckily not the back yet). I'm using minoxidil now and hope it will help. I'm only about a month...

@cottonReville I calmly grabbed her hand and said as smoothly as possible "I don't like it when people touch my face and hair." The "face" part makes it less suspicious, but I also seriously don't want women stroking my face because I use eyeliner to fill in the gaps in my beard and they could...

@rme I bought the system about a month ago and I can now say that I'm very satisfied with the price to quality ratio. However you should note that I wear an unexposed hairline. I wouldn't recommend the S7 if you wear an exposed hairline because the S7 doesn't have a graduated hairline and in...

I use Chi Argan Oil (https://www.amazon.com/CHI-Argan-Oil-fl-oz/dp/B00N30ZWFW). It also has UV protection. I'm satisfied with the product but also keep in mind that I don't use anything else to style my hair and I condition it only once every two weeks and wash it once a month or so. As a...

@cottonReville I was making out with one woman on my sofa and she was scrutinizing my hair all evening. At one point she touched it but I stopped her from any further inspection. Definitely don't want any women touch my hair system. They'd certainly feel the lace perimeter if they started...

@F.Coronilla I just remove at night from back to front while spraying some rubbing alcohol. Then the next day I re-activate the hold by spraying a mist of rubbing alcohol on the tape and my scalp. Position, attach and press down for about 20 seconds.

@cottonReville yeah the hairline looks unnatural in my opinion -- it's basically a wall of dense very dark hair in my case. I don't know how anyone except for Asian men can wear this piece with an exposed hairline and think it looks natural. If a woman asked me to push my hair back just "out...

Walker Ultra Hold. I've been experimenting with Walker Super Stick but the Ultra Hold is definitely better for reuse and daily wearing. There's minimal strain when I remove my system. Just a bit of rubbing alcohol does the trick for me. I'm happy with the S7 so far. At that price point I...

Actually I never shave my scalp. I just trim it with my hair clipper zero guard. Takes less than five minutes. I noticed that if I don't trim the scalp then the hold isn't as good the next day when I reattach my system, so I prefer to trim every evening before bed. As for the hold, it's...

My crown is intact but I wear a full system. I'm a daily wearer so I can shave my scalp every day or every second day. I only use tape and don't touch glue. Low maintenance and no regrets.

@cottonReville Now I see why women don't care when you tell them you wear a system. They just see your handsome masculine bones and think "oh well let him be vain he's a top genetic specimen with or without the hair and I want his children." If you had a potato face with a weak jaw they...

@JDW-Pod go for it. You can easily rock a fade. And meanwhile try minoxidil to save those temples.

My tape job looks very similar to yours except it's a little closer to the hairline and I put more tape at the very back for a better hold when lying down or taking off shirts (especially at the gym where my piece came off one time when I was taking off my sweaty t-shirt). The difference is...

@Noah A blonde in one pic, a brunette in the other. I see the system saw some action. Do you let women play with your hair? My system isn't perfectly attached because the base doesn't perfectly match my bald template, so it's definitely easy to find/feel the perimeter with your fingers. But...
