    Hi I went down last Saturday to try the system out and i was pleasantly suprised. The colour was spot on and considering he was working with my own hair underneath, it looked very good and you couldnt tell where my hair ended and the sytem began. My girfriend came with me to watch and she...

    Why should a hair system be so embarrassing?

    Michigan, I would be very interested in seeing your video which explains how to clean, maintain and cut in, how do i get hold of it? Ive seen your shorter vid explaining what hair systems basically are and i was very impressed. Rico

    Not sure on the density to be honest, other then that i have asked for it to be quite light for maximum realism, i dont want a davey crocket hat! I think the system is a lace front type but the guy there has recommended a taped bond rather then a glue which im still not too sure about but he...

    Why should a hair system be so embarrassing?

    I like reading the posts on this Forum in particular, mainly because it helps me to deal with my hairloss but i cant stand the negative comments, particularly from worldofwarcraft. I have noticed an increase in negative and 'bitchy' comments being made about hair systems and find it a bit sad...

    Why should a hair system be so embarrassing?

    Im considering getting a hair system in the near future and currently trying to justify it to myself... On the face of it hair systems or 'wigs' are widely seen as a bit of a joke but is wearing a hair piece really any different than wearing contact lenses or veneers on your teeth not to...

    Im going back in February to have the piece i ordered fitted, as i mentioned in an earlier post i have paid £250 to get the piece fitted on my head without cutting any hair etc. The guy said he would get it 95% finished, enough to give me a good idea what it will look like. Then its decision...

    I spoke to Graham a couple of times over the phone then went down to london saturday to meet him. Hes a really nice honest guy who has been very helpful and supportive. His hair system looked good to me, although the first thing he said to me was 'ignore what mine looks like at the minute...

    Im going through serious hell at the minute and made a rash decision earlier and cancelled my system. My girlfriend wasnt too happy and thinks i should at least try the thing on my head, she thinks i will be impressed. So i have agreed to go ahead with it and have a system ordered. So to keep...

    Is it realistic is it to expect to not get noticed?

    Im considering getting a system but my biggest concern is getting it noticed. I still have hair but im thinning at the crown and use Toppik to conceal it, im looking into getting a system now because im hoping for a smooth transition and that no one will notice i have had anything done. Is...

    Has anyone tried personally applying a hair system?

    I have been advised that if your using a soft bond, ie tape. you need to be looking at taking the sytem off once a week - 2 weeks to clean, change tape etc. So i would say that applying the sytem yourself would be a necessity. Taking the sytem off and reapplying it doesnt bother me, but i...

    Had a consultation there yesterday, the guy is very up front and honest about the process involved. He gets his systems from China but the hair used is eastern european which he says is one of the best to use because it holds its colour longer. I asked him about about Cool Piece and Toplace and...
