Does anyone ever cut into the hairline to shape it better? I am having a hard time finding a piece with the proper hairline contour / level of recession, which I think is a massive part of a completely realistic look. I want to get a stock C hairline and cut it down to give it the proper shape...

Sun is a good option. My current piece was too dark out of the box but 2 weeks of trying to get some sun on it and it’s lightened up to the point where my grandma asked if I had highlights in my hair

This has been on my mind recently as I just switched to a new supplier for stocks. Does anyone know of a good stock supplier with an A contour? I think my piece from Curtis is a little too full at the front for my face.... great otherwise though

Yea I do my own maintenance so usually I take it off, clean and wash it and then let it fully dry for at least 24 hours to reattach so I give my skin some time off from the adhesives. In the past re applying to quickly has caused a buildup of irritation with certain glues. I also live with my...

Hot showers are harder on the bond than on the hair but not great for either. The risk of tangling is too high from just letting it soak like that. I do run my hair under warm/hot water a few times a week but I always am combing through it when its under the water. Other days I will use a spray...

Make suure you are running your finger back and forth along the hairline, or you can use the back of a plastic brush to prevent pulling hairs, to flatten it at all parts. If the glue was evenly applied, it should not be looking like that. With that said I have gotten a lot better over time so be...

its just not bonded correctly. you can see on the edge of the hairline where its properly bonded -- the "clear" spaces -- and then where it gets cloudy/whiter, its just not smug against your head. Definitely wait at minimum whatever time it says on the bottle you are using, sometimes longer. It...

I’m not positive but I think around 600 total. If you buy a system from her she cuts it in for free, but I believe she said she doesn’t bond it — that costs extra. So she basically will use 1 or 2 pieces of tape to place it on your head, cut it, and then it’s in your hands, unless you want to...

Phil does hair looks great as well. I thought about going to him but his pieces were expensive. Although for just the cut in, (if you get your pieces online) I think it was only 80 bucks — not with him , but with his other stylist.

I’ve been to a couple different, and paid different prices. The place I go to now is called New Hair Concepts, it’s in New Milford, NJ. My girl Sandy crushes the cut which to me is like 90 percent of the battle. I pay 180 per cut with her. My place in NYC (Sly Hair Co) was charging me 500 per...

I do not notice any real temperature difference, and the cleaning is way easier / not as hard on the piece in terms of losing hair. Don't know about injected, but I don't think you can inject a .03. In terms of durability I think the V Loops are fine, provided you aren't getting it from a shitty...

Hey dudes, haven’t made a post in a minute and with the one year mark since I started wearing approaching, I wanted to write out some quick thoughts for anyone who may be on the fence about this. Transitioning: long story short, I did not have awful hair loss when I transitioned. I was maybe a...

Wanted to bump this as I’ve found a great solution. My system is about 5 months old, and the hair was definitely drying out. This week I have done 3 straight days of a hair mask in the shower. 5 minute deep condition, rinse thoroughly. My hair feels extremely soft now. FWIW it still is getting...

Think its looking pretty good dude. I would say the color match is good, and I actually think the density works well since you're a younger dude. It will also probably make the system last longer. The fringe looks good. The only thing I would say is that I do agree the blend could be better...

I've told 3-4 girls ive been romantically involved with about it. None of them cared. Also a few of the girls I've matched with on a dating app I have also told. None have cared. I realized its better to be chill about it and treat it as a simple cosmetic thing, matter-of-factly, than conceal it...
