    Making a Lace System Last As Long As Possible - Tips?

    Does it matter if it's 60, 85 or 99 percent?

    I thought a hair system would make me more attractive

    Absolutely. It was a pretty spur of the moment decision for me, just something I thought I'd try after I came to terms with the realization that FUE would be more challenging than I expected and wouldn't get me the hair I really wanted anyway. My bio hair had gotten to the point where it...

    It took me 2 or 3 months of wearing a piece before I got used to seeing myself in the mirror.

    An Amazing Trick I Accidentally Learned Which Lends Itself to Ultra-Realism.

    I'm not sure I fully understand. You're saying that you didn't trim down the size of the 8x10, you just rotated it a bit and you like the look? And you think that strategy would work for anyone with a recessed hairline?

    Where'd you order from, may I ask? It took you awhile, or so it seems (?) to switch or try European hair. I'd love to hear more.

    Okay I double checked and what I received is medium light. However, my bio hair is toward the fine and thin spectrum. And the Indian hair on the system is as far from fine & thin as I could imagine. When you say "we" who is we? If you have it in your profile it's not accessible to me.

    Thank you. Yes, I'm going to move to a custom piece and also see if I can purchase a less dense piece for the next install until that's ready in the meantime. But 90's? Damn I was thinking it looked more 15th century Fiorentini. (I part my bio hair on the left but the stylist just did a messy...

    Picture after Round 2 at the salon today. I really appreciate the feedback, guys. I knew exactly what to ask for. It feels much, much better and more comfortable. @AxC123 @jimlad @Cruise21

    Very kind of you! Kind of funny but I didn't tell the wife beforehand what I was doing...just told her I was going for my makeover for our Italy trip as we're scheduled to leave soon for Rome and Sicily! I really appreciate your putting into words what I need to bring up when I go back Wednesday...

    You're right, it's transparent. I was looking at the knots and the straight line of my new hairline fooled me. Thanks very much for the response! I can't wait until I can look in the mirror and not see someone with a fur hat staring back at me :) Your avatar appears closer to what I...

    I really appreciate the feedback. The base material according to the promotion material is "fine lace" and a thin polyurethane perimeter. I'll ask the salon to thin it out a bit when I go back on Wednesday -- had to schedule a follow-up because the tape they used isn't holding very tight on me.

    I have wanted to do FUE for a while now but life got in the way. Finally as the pandemic calmed down earlier this year I was at a time and place where I could get it done. But the feedback I received from doctors was discouraging based on how much hair loss I've had and not having enough donor...
