Thanks so much for sharing this, sounds like you have it got it down to an art! I'll give it a shot

Thanks guys, all these suggestions are really helpful. I thought about trying some alcohol but am still slightly afraid of doing something that wrecks it, and it took me several attempts and hours to get it on so couldn't face lossening the bond and having to start again. I'll try trimming and...

Hi all. New wearer here. Having problems with the hairs in my lace system getting stuck to my hairline. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there s way to fix it or avoid it happening again? I'm experiencing hairs stuck long-ways (see pic, poor quality picture makes it look like dirt build up...

I've not worn a system yet but have been researching lately via YouTube (I notice some companies dont allow comments on their videos which puts me off them). Hair4all London are worth a look in my non expert opinion. The people who work there wear hair themselves and they come across well in...

Mrdavies, can I ask; Is it easy to get a good match with your bio hair with such a small partial? I'm considering something similar to what you do, just wondering how easy it will be to match my own hair, which is super fine. Also, getting the right colour match must be tricky? Or maybe people...

Liked it! They all looked good and happier at the end. Was hoping they would go into more detail about bases, glues etc. But was a pretty short programme. Interesting that the stylist kept the second guys transplanted hairs at his hairline and put the system behind those hairs. The third chap...

Ello chaps I'm feeling the time is right to start wearing a front partial hair piece. Can anyone recommend a good UK (South East preferably but I'm willing to travel) stylist who would be willing to do cut-ins and show me the ropes? I'm hoping to go DIY, buy a system online and take it to the...

Hello Relax I'm Hilarious... I'm an avid reader of your thread cos of all the great scientific stuff you post on it. Cheers its great. I like to read some of the research you quote on here when I get depressed about how long treatments can take. You said: "...the plan is to wait and see...

I was wondering the same thing. I've been on minoxidil for nearly 3 months and seen no change or shedding or anything so am thinking I might be a poor responder. I'm pretty sure the leaflet it came with said to stop using after 4 months if you see no results. Not sure what I'll do when I get to 4...

hey mrfifs, I'm afraid I've haven't experienced any itching (yet...) so no idea how long it will last. Have you tried using aloevera gel or something like that to sooth any irritation?

cheers guys :) regimen is going well (though its still really really early days). I can tell you are a glass half full kinda guy FischerSnapper, it's good to be reminded to look on the brightside. Lets all keep our fingers crossed for that cure, or at least a better range of treatments.

Came across an interesting example of a guy using his baldness as a selling point / way to differentiate himself from his competitors: http://baldguyredtie.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/who-is/ (HairLossTalk.com turned my link to spam, just google baldguyredtie) Not posting this to try and downplay the stigma...

This is a really informative thread, but a lot of it has gone way over my head. I'm interested in trying copper peptides, maybe not right now, but at some point, is there any product on sale that confirms it contains the 2.5% formula? Do we know how much is in Prox-N? Cheers!

Yeah! I'm getting better with the liquid, no more minoxidil eye drops. I'm at just over 2 months on the big three. I noticed at about week five lots of tiny, tiny colourless hairs sprouting in my hairline, so small at first I could only notice them when applying minoxidil, can now see them in strong...

Re: How my hair currently looks. Will update regulary. Hey Ryan, Don't get down, you have a cool U shape hairline, I have a V shaped hairline (much worse) and would much prefer yours. Although your pics aren't the clearest it looks like you have lots of those little baby hairs round your...
