Feel pretty good about it actually, mainly because I went very conservative on the hairline. A guy my age - 50 - should have a high forehead, and I've had one since 25.

I went to a salon for everything - but she's very cool and will happily do cut-ins on pieces she doesn't sell. She nailed the match (which was tricky with a grey blend), and the blend looks pretty good to my eyes.

Part of me feels like crawling under a rock for eternity, but I'm guessing that'll change.

Thanks - one weird experience was when they gave me the monk cut right before attaching, I actually kinda likes the look oddly enough - felt like I should have been promoted to Senior VP right there on the spot. I mean not really, but sort of.

Holy crap it looks awesome! it looks really natural honestly i couldn’t tell if i saw you on the street :) Are you planning on going DIY or going to the salon for maintenance? Also what base did you get?

Burner that is one of the best results I've seen, I mean one that looks ultra suitable and realistic for your age too. Congrats and seriously, very well planned and executed.

It looks like a very light, lace system. Can you share the specs?

Where are you based?

Hi Deg - I'm in greater boston. She only described it as "lace" with real hair used for both the #3 brown and the 65% grey. Second-to-lowest density. (the hairline is uncanny - except for the tiny bits of lace you can spot up close here and there).

Thanks!!

Probably going to DIY it from now on - it was a hefty chunk of change. She actually sent me home with the template, and told me the color codes, etc. She's happy to do cut-ins for other pieces, and take calls on this one. All good stuff.
