I see mine as glaringly obvious.
Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Btw the system is a thin skin poly number.

Thanks for the reply Noah,
I've not had anyone openly come out and say anything about it. I have had stares and passing remarks like 'have you dyed your hair?' or 'what have you been doing to your hair.' Nothing I can't easily dismiss. I'd just feel more confident about it if I couldn't see the base.
Do you have any recommendations for purchasing lace systems online?
Cheers,
Borman.
Generally, its ok, but some improvements can be made esp to from hairline and density.
Where did you get your system from ??I'm new to all this and can't decide

I guess Jordan/Borman will give you his own take on this issue, but here is mine.
When people talk about the Hair Club type of supplier, they usually mean a salon which supplies you with a system which they attach to your head with a hard bond (basically Superglue). It's actually not glued to your scalp, but to a track of stubble that they cut around your bald patch. It is meant to stay on for a month at a time, and only they can take it off. And in fact the glue does hold for a month at the back and sides (most people don't have enough hair at the front to make a glue track, so the hairline is taped to your scalp, and it has to be changed 3 or 4 times by you during the month). The supposed virtue of this method is that you don't have to do anything - you miraculously get a full head of hair, and you don't have to even think about the fact that you're wearing a system except on your monthly appointment - they do everything for you (they don't tell you about having to change the hairline tape until you are already wearing the system).
There are, however, a number of serious problems with Hair Club and the other operations that use the same methodology. First, you have no control over your own system, you are totally dependent on them. If something goes wrong - say you tear the system - if they can't fit you in for an appointment, you're out of luck. Second, in order for you to be able to wear the same hair system for a whole month without maintenance, it has to be very robust. But robustness is the exact opposite of what makes a good hair system. The best quality most undetectable systems are delicate. Those systems would not stand being worn for a month at a time. So Hair Club systems are not the best quality - they are rugged (no pun intended), but they are pretty detectable. Usually with a Hair Club system you are forced to try to cover up the hairline, because people would be able to tell it was fake. Thirdly, the Hair Club attachment method doesn't work - your hair grows during the month, and the system, which is attached to a track of hair, gets loose. By the end of the month it is shifting around, and you can stick your finger under the base. Fourthly, its unhygienic to keep a system on for a month at a time - like wearing the same pair of underpants for a month. Dead skin, sweat and shampoo residue get trapped under the base - yuck.
This is why many people who come to hair systems via the Hair Club hate it and give up. And that is without even mentioning the prices they charge. But that doesn't mean hair systems don't work - they can actually be a great solution to hair loss. But you have to take control of the process, either by doing it on a DIY basis or getting help from a decent salon which doesn't use the Hair Club approach.
