Nice colour match and good density. Is this a lace system?
One of the problems I have is that I use UTS with v-looped hair and that makes it too bouncy, whereas I prefer hair that falls flatter (a bit like yours) because it looks more natural.
Thanks for the compliment Noah. It took us a while to get to this point, but I’m satisfied.Superb look, Diesel Guy. One of the best low density units I have seen.
I got mine from MH2GO London
I’m 55 yrs old, so I want to make sure I have some thinning and recession in the hairline so I look age appropriate. The first photo is the casual every day hairstyle
The second image, same hair system, just styled for a more formal event and. Mor product in my hair.
My color match is light brown ( don’t know the number) with 40% gray. I prefer synthetic gray over natural.
Thanks for the info - I'll check them out - how long do you typically get from a system? Did MH2GO make your template as well?
Wow! I didn't even know that was possible. Nobody would guess in a million years. Do you have to replace your system more frequently since it's thinner?
I am just coming up on my one year hair-anniversary - so still relatively new to this. But I was adamant in how I wanted the density of my hair to be. The salon I used started me off as a Medium density - and I lost my sh*t at the results. WAY too thick! So they thinned it out a lot, and from that point, I moved to a Medium-lite density. From here we thin it out to where it needs to be. I wanted to move to a lite density, but I am always talked out of it for that very reason - it will thin and not hold up.
(My profile photo is my first system after we thinned and shortened out. It looks good, but still a tad too thick overall.)
I just moved back up to replacing the system every 8 weeks - and it seems to hold up well. I don't know that I can get another month out of it though.

A couple of holiday pics from the summer - this was a nice unit which I just recently retired. It is 4-months-old in the pics, Swiss lace, glued hairline. It's funny how you really warm to some systems and not others not so much. This one always felt snug and comfortable, the front lace always disappeared without a fuss, I always felt good wearing it. Quite sad to see it go into the "dead unit" bag at the back of the wardrobe.

I can't afford it either - this is why I am working so hard to find the formula to extend the life of my system. Also, I have yet to even begin to understand how someone can do this by themselves. Between cutting the unit, to attaching it - how one person does it just blows my mind. And a mistake can be very costly.Very interesting. I don't think I could afford a new system every 8 weeks but there's no denying how impressive the result you are getting is.
Hey I don't understand this part: How the hell are you thinning if it's a hair system? That's not your hair at all, does your scalp detect that there's a system being worn and it sends the androgens to the hair system to start the thinning process???The violent difference in colour is more to do with the photography than the reality LOL, although I will admit it was a good summer.
The sad truth is that if you are a guy who wears a piece you can no longer get unalloyed pleasure from women running their fingers through your hair . But yes, I do let them touch my hair, although I can’t say I am totally relaxed about it. So far so good though: since I have been wearing the fine lace pieces I have never had anyone spot anything. I think if they don’t start off with the initial suspicion that there is something odd about my hair, it would have to be fairly blatant for them to pick up anything in the sort of context we are talking about. I am usually trying to arrange alternative distractions, so the hair is not the main show! Also, you need a snug-fitting piece, so no overlaps or wrinkles.
I am getting a bit of thinning, but usually the close-cropped haircut conceals it pretty well. Maybe I needed a haircut, or maybe it is just a trick of the light. They’re not the best photos.

Wtf, I thought the hair on the sides and in the back were completely immune to androgens?It's not a full wig - only the hair on top is prosthetic. The side hair is my own natural hair. That is the bit that is thinning a bit.
If I PM you my pics could you tell me possibly what Norwood I am currently?Unfortunately not. Ordinary male pattern baldness can fairly often include some recession and thinning on the sides, although it is rare to lose them completely. But loss of temple definition is a familiar problem on this forum. The back is safer, although in a few cases that can thin too.

Here's mine.... Stock poly #18

I can't belive I am looking at actually NW6 guys with so good side hair and temple points. Are you really NW6?
Almost all NW6s I see in real life have quite shitty temples too.
