Recently I have been looking into a hair replacement system and came across this forum, which has been very informative! Prior to finding this I was looking to find what local options I have for a HCM type of place but really did not find many options and what I did find were really uninformative!
Just a little background on myself, I had a receding hairline the receded and receded and eventually I clipped my hair on the lowest setting and have been that way for about 8 years. It was hard to do but I knew that was better than have really thin hair on top. I have no issues in wearing a piece as long as it looks natural, I have spent too many years avoiding looking in the mirror and I really do not care what people think but I do care about what I think, so I would want to look in the mirror and not feel like I have something alien on my head!
From reading a lot of the threads on here everyone seems to steer you away from HCM type of companies and go the DYI route which seems not only cheaper but you get a better quality. Even though I love the idea of having the control over the system I am just apprehensive that I would really be able to achieve this myself and have no idea how or where to start.
Should you use a salon / company to start with and if so what are the good companies? I live in South Florida
If you start with the DYI where do you start? Are there sites links out there that guide you on how to achieve this? Any good blogs to follow?
If you do go DYI how do you find someone reliable to cut the piece?
If you managed to read this all, thank you for your time and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
