    Convince me to switch to UTS or Poly

    Might be my chemistry but I don't have issues with lace, glue, whatever. No issues cleaning and none with the hairline getting "dirty" or whatever. It seems everyone here keeps pointing to this as the main positive, but like I said, I have zero issues with lace besides trying to procure it. I...

    Question about swiss lace thickness

    Most place i've seen don't ship swiss systems with high density. Im sure you can. But anything over 100% looks like garbage either way.

    How many people on the street can tell?

    Can you quit talking about things you have no clue about? Hair systems are indefinitely more style-able than a wig. You have zero experience, quit giving your unsolicited opinion on every post.

    How many people on the street can tell?

    My experience: I wore for 6 months and my own parents could not tell. I know this because I told them and they were floored. I told my brother, who I lived with at the time, he also had no idea. I just told my sister, who I now live with, she had no clue and she even HELPED ME CUT MY HAIR. I...

    Convince me to switch to UTS or Poly

    Covid shortages. It's also a game when you do get covid lace pieces. Unbleached knots etc.

    Convince me to switch to UTS or Poly

    As the title states, convince me. Why is it better than Swiss lace? What are the major differences you noted? Clean up is a non factor for me as I only glue my hairline and dont find cleaning lace to be an issue.

    Has anyone ever used a clip-on hair system?

    They do not look good. You need that front bonded down, the hair has to be shaved for that to happen. As far as the sides go - im sure it would be fine. It is not going to be as comfortable as any real hair system will. You would probably be better off convincing him to shave off the area...

    First time buyer, need some advice on Lord hair options (or alternatives)

    You have a good point about wearing a wig as a woman. There is far less societal pressure. That's why you see guys going to great lengths here - we all just don't want to be detected if we can help it. Most of the posts here are questions from new/prospective wearers or theorycrafting from...

    First time buyer, need some advice on Lord hair options (or alternatives)

    Because wigs on a man look flat out fake. You need the illusion of hair growing from the scalp (system glued down). You need to be able to see scalp through your "hair". You need to be able to be in the wind, be rained on, do a handstand. You need to be able to cut it SHORT. Can I achieve a...

    If you take a look at her tiktok its clear she's a nasty person, and proud of it at that. https://www.tiktok.com/@talialichtstein/video/7002675585411583238?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1

    Question about swiss lace thickness

    Of the actual lace? Its delicate and can't be seen under most circumstances when bonded correctly. Hair wise? Swiss can do anywhere from 60-100% density. I would go 80-90% if you are of euro descent. Swiss lace typically can not hold high density of hair.

    Young woman on Tiktok supports hair systems

    What a tone-deaf idiot. There are plenty of reasons that people would not want to wear a hair system, she's also not much of a catch herself but demands perfection from men. Those "pills" have life altering side effects some men never recover from. Women tend to accept the side effects of birth...

    First time buyer, need some advice on Lord hair options (or alternatives)

    You sure thats not a poly piece? Also always go light density if you are of European descent. We have much finer hair than the indians/chinese the hair is sourced from.
