Covid shortages. It's also a game when you do get covid lace pieces. Unbleached knots etc.If you only glue your hairline and are happy otherwise with your system, then stick to lace.
Pretty damn cheap prices on SuperHairPieces for lace bases like £170 though. Cheap enough to take risks etc.Covid shortages. It's also a game when you do get covid lace pieces. Unbleached knots etc.
Let us know how they turn out and whether you got them to cut/style it for you too.Pretty damn cheap prices on SuperHairPieces for lace bases like £170 though. Cheap enough to take risks etc.
I will continue to use them if the quality turns out to be good.
Might be my chemistry but I don't have issues with lace, glue, whatever. No issues cleaning and none with the hairline getting "dirty" or whatever. It seems everyone here keeps pointing to this as the main positive, but like I said, I have zero issues with lace besides trying to procure it. I think i'll just avoid skins.Main advantage is no glue seeping through the mesh onto the hair when it breaks down. They are not liquid permeable which protects the hair from whatever crap you put on the underside or on your scalp, and makes them easier to clean and maintain. But also less comfortable to wear.
Depending on whether or how you use glue, this may not be much of a consideration anyway.
Poly is harder to stain and stains on poly are much less noticable than on lace but poly can become discolored over time or with the use of certain solvents.
Realism of injection in an opaque Poly skin base is the closet to the look and feel of your own growing hair by far, with the caveat that you can't expose the front.

I cud be wrong but I think he's simply wanting to hear from guys who like wearing skin and the list of reasons why they prefer it over lace, so he can weigh the pros and cons of each in case he decides to switch base types.Like, i v much doubt anyone is interested in convincing you to switch teams.

I get it, I feel the same way and considering trying poly, or uts, when weather gets cold.
The biggest benefit, for myself, Is adhesion with a poly. You have the option to adhere 100% of the system to your scalp. With lace you have maybe 1/10 of that.I would not recommend switching if you can get lace systems you like now. I just switched due to shortage & wanting to try.
I think the hairline on dark-haired V-Loops looks atrocious. I also feel like stock unit knots are easier to style and flow in more directions than Vloops.
I personally hate UTS as it's too hot and cannot be contorted the same way lace can - although I've never tried swiss.
Obviously there is a benefit and that's the cleanup, as everyone noted. It's really a breeze, but if you're removing routinely, it really shouldn't be an issue.
Broken hairs at the hairline on any poly system look SO BAD. I suppose that's why ppl toss the things out fairly quickly. It's easy to break hairs, and the result becomes ridiculous looking quite rapidly.The biggest benefit, for myself, Is adhesion with a poly.

However, I completely agree that knots flow better than V loops, and darker V loops look terrible......
As V looped hair breaks at the hairline, you're left with unnatural straight lines stuck in the base....
Fully... meaning in it's entirely, no you cannot. Think of lace. How many individual strands,of lace, does it take to fill 1 square opening? That's how much surface area you're losing with the holes in the lace. You can only adhere the cross hatch pieces of material... which is far less than 50% of the unit.Broken hairs at the hairline on any poly system look SO BAD.

Also, @TooBad, you can fully bond any kind of unit to the head. I wonder, all of the sudden, how that affects breathability. White glue absolutely coats the scalp in a way that doesn't allow your head to breath properly. Then you're adding this condom-like, barely porous base on top of it - it's a motherfucker!
I really wish I could use goddamn tape. I hate being allergic to it!!!!
