Hello!
First off I would like to thank this forum since it is literally the only place on the internet where I was able to find the essentials and lots of added information on hair systems. I am 24 years old and am starting to bald due to both male pattern baldness and Alopecia from a drug I am newly prescribed. This of course took a huge toll on me since I had previously really thick hair. My mom basically told me one day your hair is thinning and you lost your hairline, (thanks mom). After looking into it I decided on getting a hair system.
I got some questions regarding the whole process so I will start with this.
I live in a remote place and going to the nearest hairdresser would be a while, think 2-3 hours since I live up North. I am also working long hours a day and wouldn't be able to factor in that time often, could I ideally just buy a stock unit and add a hairstyle to it and go off of that? Is that feasible or wishful thinking?
I am a bit on the smaller side, I got a smaller head too. I measured the areas where I am thinning and losing hair to be about 5-inches (width) and from front to back (length) to be 8-inches. Would this just be my size, 5x8? I will include pictures as well. I just don't want to get something way too large for my head.
My hair on my sides is virtually untouched as of now and are ridiculously thick, I have just receded a tad bit and diffused thinned a lot! I will include pictures to illustrate this. With my hair like this could I get away with a 5-inch across hair system since I still have so much hair on my sides?
I work from home for 80% of the year, barely leave the house to get to the grocery store or doctors at most. However, every Summer I do presentations on behalf of the business I work for down South at a convention center for about two weeks. This is mainly the reason why I want to get a hair system now, to be ready for that. With that being said would it be fine only wearing the hair system for about two days out of the week and just taking it off when I'm staying at home, (80% of my time). Would this be a problem, taking off the hair system and putting it back on a couple of times a week? How long would I be able to wear the same hair system, I am paying back student loans too so I cannot really shell out so much money monthly.
I am currently checking out www.lavividhair.com and am assuming that waterproof ultra hold tape and no shine toupee adhesive roll would be plenty to secure it down? I did hear some good things from that site I am purchasing from, but I am open to other suggestions.
As you can see in the pictures I am receding a bit and thinning a lot but my sides are still going strong.
I am open to hair system suggestions and other websites if you can. If you can even recommend me a hair system and supplies that would be great too!
