So I had hair before my system, albeit thinner using fibre to cover the patches so no one knew. Then went to a bad system which people commented whats happened before quickly changing to a good system which everyone just said nice haircut. Now im grade 1 all over. I told people i got fed up of...
Thanks @deg_dilemma Don't get me wrong, I loved my hair system, and it looked good. Just didn't have the will power to continue worrying and thinking about it all the time as I did. I tried to just forget its there, but no luck. I'm still getting used to the shaved head look, but got complements...
So as someone who has been suffering with hair loss for nearly 5 years, I thought I'd share my story to others to see if helps/relate to anyone.
In November 2018, I decided to get my first system from a London franchise. It was horrible, £700 for a piece of rubbish which was too thick and by a...
Anyone ever got fed up of having a system and just accept the baldness or smp? I got my first system in november last year then went to a new supplier as it was so bad. I am happy now, 3 months in but sometimes get so fed up of weekly cleaning and constant checking in the mirror. I always said I...
Anyone have any recommendations for hair system barbers? I need a regular trim of my sides and back and want someone who knows what to do rather than my regular barber as he never did a good job. I know a place in Brixton but a bit far out. Any other London places? As I've been to 2 and was told...
So tried the tape and it just didnt work out for me. So have just done a re attachment with glue and seems best. I forgot to use alcohol on my head so the glue and lace never attached, meaning i had to spend another 30 mins cleaning and redoing arghh. Been exactly 3 months since I had my piece...
I also find that cotton pulls my hair through the lace too - noticed it more lately. I've had my system 3 months now (the one from a new supplier), started to notice the colour fading so will be getting a new one soon. I will try the soak in C22 next time and see if that works. Just for info, do...
So thought I share what I use and see what others have tried and found success as its good to share and get more info.
I have a lace system which I remove every 10 days or so to give it a clean. I do not wash my hair system till I take it off. Remove all glue first with cotton and C22. Then wet...
Hi all, I am going on holiday soon. The first time with a hair system. Its in Dubai where the heat is over 35c a day. Any advice on best products to ensure the lace system remains or tips? I am currently using a scalp protector then ghost plat glue all round and hairline. This keeps it on for...
Be interested to hear peoples thoughts or experiences if you have moved from a lace system to thin skin system or vice versa. Whats the main difference? How is it maintaining etc. I currently have a lace system which I clean and wash by taking off every 2 weeks. Takes about an hour. And will...
Only 2 months ago I got fed up of thinning hair, my crown was thinned and my front temples showing. I used microfibres for years to cover up and went through laser treatment and tablets for 3 years. So I decided to shave the top and get a hair system. As its very costly I am going to do it for a...
TBH looks like its reseeding into the temples. I had the same when I was in my young 20's. Could be worth exploring whats the best treatment, although at 15 that is very young
I had a look at Elixir Pigmentation in West London and spoke to the owner - its not a franchise and one off business which is what I prefer as its just one person you meet and does the treatment - I have got a price for the area I need, so soon as a hair system is no longer for me, I am...
Washing too much will damage the system and shorten the life span. I only now wash the system only when its off my head every 10 days when I do my reattachment. I never wash it when on as hot water and glue don't go well.
So I got my system from Onehead and even though its a stock system, I am very happy with it .Whole process with them was very easy. Quite pricey all in for system and cut but a 100x better experience than with Hair Loss Clinic. However just based on my own self concious self, I am worried how...
