    Fullcap hair system is there anyone?

    Been wearing custom lace full cap wigs for nearly 20 years. Like them more than toppers. Sleep, work and play, even swim with them on. Remove, clean and reattach every 10 days. Most last 4 to 6 months.

    New Times Hair - Huge Number of Base Configurations. Also, What's Going On in This Pic??

    I ordered a stock womans full cap all lace wig from them to modify for my own use. It took a LOT of work to get it right - cutting it down, much thinning, reshaping the base, cutting in recession, blending in the temples to align seemlessly with my own sideburns - about 4 to 6 hours of work in...

    Thinking of getting a full size custom wig

    I used to get these from NWL and they are not accepting custom orders due to ongoing issues in the hair replacement industry which I presume means the still closed China - NK border.

    Thinking of getting a full size custom wig

    Customs are hard to come by due to pandemic. And there are no such thing as stock mens full caps available so far as I'm aware. Unlike women's lace wigs (which I have successfully modified for my use, although it takes a bit of work). I have worn full cap wigs for almost 20 years. I find them...

    Alternative to bleach for knots on a lace base?

    I used to order pre pandemic custom lace wigs 1B with 2 inch blond front then dye the front 1B. With no mens custom full caps available for now, I order readily available stock full lace 1B women's wigs, which I thin down, cut in, shape and style, then apply Perfect Line Lace Wig Knot Concealer.

    Dry Shampoo - Anyone Use It w/ Their Hairpieces?

    I have a few times on lace full cap wigs, works ok and minimises the risk of tangling, shedding and shrinkage that sometimes occurs with washing in water.

    Cutting piece with WAHL clippers yes or no?

    I use normal hairdressing scissors, thinning shears, small nail scissors and a Mach 3 razor to cut in, style and blend all my full cap wigs.

    How many of you cut your own base? Recommend it or have hair supplier do it?

    I fine trim my all lace wig bases and then do my own cut ins. That way I can get it exactly how I want it to look.

    Gel or spray to keep "wet" look thru the day?

    I've been using Brylcreem for years with no bad outcomes. Good for new wigs as it makes them look thinner and less puffy as they sometimes are for a few days straight out of the box.

    Dye a blonde hairsystem & european hair & knot quality

    I wear a 1B full all lace cap wig and always order it with 2 inch blonde front and temples, then cut it in and dye it myself. Mix up a thick dye, apply carefully with a brush trying not to stain the lace, hang it upside down for 15 minutes for the dye to work, then rinse from the underside.

    Dating with hair system, how does it work?

    Plenty of women wair hair extensions. Do they disclose this on a first date? What about dentures, contact lenses, coloured facial hair - are these also topics for discussion when opening up on datenight?

    Bleaching/Lightening a (Free) Unit That's Too Dark

    You can leave it in the sun for a few days, that will lighten it. I got a very dark black wig once that was meant to be 1B, put it out in the full hot Aussie sun for a week and, hey, presto, it gradually lightened up sufficiently to be passable as dark brown. This was in summer though, not sure...
