Use conditioner and oils with every wash. Shampoo is quite harsh when cleaning and both, gel and wax dry out the hair in the hairpiece quickly. Using a wide-tooth comb to comb out any tangles while the hair is still moist works well. Letting moist hair dry by itself is better than using a hair...

Ghost Mist is mainly to make the hair soft and easy to detangle. While it's great for that, it doesn't add any hold to the hair on its own.

Ghost Mist Argan oil mist works really well for removing tangles after washing while the hair is still wet: https://www.amazon.sg/Ghost-Mist-Argan-Finishing-Hairspray/dp/B01LX95MIO

I'm using Goldwell StyleSign Ultra Volume Lagoom Jam - it is advertised as long hold and I can go with it the entire day. Just apply a small portion in the moist hair in the morning and a bit of hair spray to fix once in the desired shape. The gel is also easy to comb out of the hair in the...

I tried the Lavivid Helios Swiss lace a few months ago and my experience was similar. The hairline and bleached knots were great but the hair quality and colour were disappointing. The colour was supposed to be a 420, i.e. medium-dark brown with 20% grey. However, the hair was very dark, almost...

Before deciding on a hair base, I had some worries about visible plastic or lace on the hairline. With the combination of French Lace and glue on the first inch from the front of the base, I have not had any issues with a visible gap or lace material showing. The lace is 80% transparent and just...

My fist hair piece was a French lace with poly rim. The rim is mainly to make attachment/removal easier as the tape or glue sticks with the poly. Then just use glue on the lace front to attach. I use only full French lace systems now as I found the poly rim ones to be too large. I workout a lot...

I wash the hair piece with baby shampoo 2-3 times per week and use two conditioners after shampoo. The first conditioner contains coconut oil and I leave it in for a few mins before rinsing it thoroughly with lukewarm or cold water. After that, I use a wide-tooth comb to brush through the wet...

Something to consider when cutting the hair piece: When there is overlap with your own hair on the rim where the tapes or glue goes, it is possibly harmful for your own hair. When removing the hair piece, the old tapes/glue on the hair piece will pull out your own hairs below it and this can...

I tried the unit for about 1.5 months and then switched back to a French lace that was a better match for my own hair colour. I found the hair on the Mirage to tangle more easily and it also shedded some hairs when I washed it in the shower. My haircut is medium length so that could contribute...

I had the Lavivid Helios with Swiss lace recently and found that the hairline looked better than on the French lace hair pieces I had before it. The hairline was graduated and the Swiss lace blended perfectly with my own skin. Different suppliers use lace meshes from various sources so I think...

Swiss lace is a thinner and finer mesh than French lace so it blends better in with your own skin. Having had different French and Swiss lace hair pieces so far, I never had any issues with the lace and an exposed hairline. One model didn't have bleached knots and even for that it wasn't too...

Apart from Lavivid, I've ordered from Superhairpieces.com and Lordhair. Currently wearing the Champion Remy from Lordhair for more than 4 months and the hair is still ok, although there is some thinning in the front now and the hair colour turned to light-brown from medium-brown originally...

Factors for deciding between lace and poly are also the climate in your region and if you do sports or gym. In tropical climate, lace is much more suitable as your skin can breathe. Poly would be too hot and uncomfortable for me in the gym too. I had a Helios (Swiss Lace) from Lavivid recently...

Ordered a French lace system ("Champion") from Lord Hair a few months back as replacement for another one from Superhairpieces that I was wearing since February. I kept it in storage and got it cut in last week. It's ok so far with normal density, soft hair and bleached knots. The colour is...
