    Adding Dye or Color to Hair System DIY

    Ah ha. I bet this is what my salon uses, I swear I see that bottle on my stylists counter and she has mentioned that she "rinses it with dark ash coloring and it has to sit for 5-10 minutes" which makes sense when I read the directions on back2natural bottle. ;) So next question: What shade...

    Adding Dye or Color to Hair System DIY

    Hey all, I wear a mono hair system w/ the skin perimeter and have another 2 weeks before I have my visit to the salon, and need to add color as it has lightened a lot since I spent the last few days on vacation outdoors. My salon usually dyes it every month but won't tell me exactly what they...

    What's the smartest, quickest and least suspicious way of checking the back while camping?

    Ask someone you trust if its sticking out/out of form. Otherwise I use my cellphone and take a video as I move the phone around the back of my head.

    Hair system major issues for me. Trying everything almost.

    Get over it, and take it off at night. Wash your scalp the next day when you shower as you normally would, use anti-dandruff shampoo (really works on an itchy scalp - sometimes I have to go full bore and use that tea tree neutrogena stuff).

    So how exactly do I order a system Myself??

    I keep getting "Lordhair" ads on my facebook, IG, ebay, news pages, pretty much everywhere I browse, and it caught my attention (good marketing!). I got my system through a salon nearby that specializes in systems - They literally tell me NOTHING about where they order, how they order, what...

    Hair system "repair" - is this actually a thing?

    I've heard in the past that it was possible to send out a system to have "repaired". While the idea was kinda funny to me at the time, now I'm hoping it IS a thing because I'd like to send out my old (but otherwise in pretty good shape) poly/lace hybrid for repair. Does this exist? If it does...

    How often do you take your hair system off?

    I exclusively use Walker tapes. No glue. Nothing ever touches the lace, I have poly around the entire perimeter of the system, and the tapes go onto that. I have a pool, a hot tub, and a boat; In the pool & hot tub - if its just me and my spouse, I remove the system and wear a baseball cap. If...

    How often do you take your hair system off?

    Did you read the posts at all? Take it off every night. You wont get itchy, the adhesive will not have time to irritate your scalp, you wont need to condition your skin. And god damn, does it feel GOOD. lol

    First hair system... how does it look?

    Not sure how I missed this post either (?!) but with your features - facial hair and thick eyebrows - I think BOTH systems looked great. Honestly, I could not tell it was a system in either of your pics. FWIW, my salon does the same thing with density, and I had to go back 2-3 times to have it...

    How often do you take your hair system off?

    I take mine off every night, and sleep without it. By the end of the day, it comes off easy enough, I've never had a problem ((shrugs))

    How often do you take your hair system off?

    I use Walker tapes, not sure of the exact line because my salon bags them up in little baggies (25 to a bag) and sells them for $3. I rarely ever have adhesive on my scalp, and if I do, I just use alcohol and a cotton ball. I apply the new tape on top of the old tape, and peel it off when I...

    Hair coming through the lace when cleaning

    I haven't experienced this enough to cause a problem such as thinning... how often are you cleaning your system? My lace/poly hybrid would lose some hairs through the lace, coming through the bottom side, but never enough to cause an issue. I clean my system once a week, sometimes once every...

    How often do you take your hair system off?

    Every.Single.Night. I tried sleeping with it on, even with silk pillowcases, I woke up with severe bedhead... not wanting to damage or wear it out prematurely, I just started taking it off every night. It feels SO good to let my scalp breathe, wash my scalp before bed, and put new adhesive on...

    Making a Lace System Last As Long As Possible - Tips?

    Where's your sense of adventure?? :D Its not for everybody (sleeping with the system sitting on the night stand) lol, but god.does.it.feel.gooooood. The funny part is when friends/family/neighbors stop by early in the morning, or on the weekend when Im moving slowly, and I forget that I dont...

    Should I consider using finasteride? 26y/0

    You are thinning early on, that its probably not even noticeable to anybody but you; after all, we are our own biggest critics. But perhaps a good time to start addressing it. Yes, you should go to your Doctor just to rule out anything (thyroid issue, etc etc) especially since you feel this is...
