Hi everyone
Having been battling with hairloss since I was 18, I had a transplant a few years ago. I had been very happy with the results until I stopped taking finasteride due to side effects; and most of the non transplanted hair I had left fell off.
I've been looking into getting a hair system for some time and finally went ahead with it today. I went for one of the few salons in London which I could find, feeling pretty reassured by its good reviews both here and elsewhere. I met the hairdresser for an appointment a few weeks ago and he put me very much at ease, I felt good with my choice and excited to get new hair.
Given I had a hair transplant a few years ago, I still have an ok-ish amount of hair remaining in the front, so the hairdresser suggested to place the system behind a few 1-2cm of bio hair, which would allow cause less issues with an exposed hairline, which felt like a great idea.
Fast forward to this evening, and I struggle to express my feelings. The most obvious ones which come to mind right now are disappointed and freaking out.
2 issues really jump out to me:
1) there is a clear difference in density between the bio hair and the system, it feels very unnatural, but I guess I can sort of get away with it with the right style.
2) more problematic, the membrane is clearly visible in one area. Not only is it visible, but it is SOLID WHITE. I've spent lots of time watching videos, looking at pictures and reading feedback and I've never seen this before. The hairdresser said the base is a Polyurethane PU membrane which I've never seen any look like this. This just feels... very cheap. It also seems to be already lifting a bit??
Could anyone please help me understand what might have happened here, I'm really shocked by the result.
I would also hugely appreciate advice with regards to what how I can fix this, what I should be looking to in terms of alternate base solutions and recommendations of hairdressers in London who could fix this.
Thank you so much in advance.
