I despise swimming for the most part (just never been a fan of it), so I can't really help you on that. As for the rain, it doesn't really make any difference. Does my hair look crappy after getting rained on? Yeah, just like my natural hair. It gets frizzy and flat just like any naturally...

The look and style of the hairpiece may have something to do with the fact that the movie is based on Bobby Darin, who, in fact, wore a hairpiece. From what I understand, Spacey even covers the era in which Darin went through a hippie-folk stage and ditched the wig for a bit.

Oh, okay MB! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't somehow missing something (I know that you can be quite a humerous man when the mood strikes you)! dietcola: I'm not MichiganBaldy, but I have seen his DVD's so maybe I can help answer some of your questions. is that you in those...

MB: PC=Political Correctness Unless you were making a joke that just went over my somewhat tired (and beautifully haired, thanks to my new iLace) head. :)

In response to the original poster, yes I wear a piece and do all my own maintenance (including color my natural hair and doing my cut-ins). I tried having attachments and cuts done by several different salons at first to varying degrees of satisfaction: 1. Had local Virtual Reality salon do...

Those pieces were just standard SFS lace, as can be ordered from Toplace, Coolpiece, etc. I only have personal experience with Toplace, but have heard TONS of good stuff about a few other places. It's definitely something you want to do your homework on before ordering.

What you're talking about is entirely possible. When I first decided to start wearing a rug, I went with a small "strip" that filled in some of my temple recession and gave me a lower, straighter hairline. It was a good improvement, and a nice way to learn the ropes of hairpieces without...

First order of business: What is the most realistic version I could buy? Generally, fine lace (such as SFS) is very undetectable. It's light, and breathable, which I like. I'm currently wearing a piece of this style. The "new" injected lace pieces look pretty good (I've got three stored...

Lots of guys use strong glues (like Ultrahold) on relatively fragile bases (like SFS lace). MichiganBaldy is one such chap, as I was before I ran out of strong glue/started using weaker glues as a matter of preference. I don't see any problem with it, so long as care is taken when removing...

1. How hard is it to get off? (If a girl were tugging on it for example) It depends on the tape/glue you use and how "fresh" your attachment is. For example, when I use blue tape at the sides and back it's a VERY strong bond, whereas the white glue (a milder glue, chemically speaking) is a...

Before I started wearing a piece, I'd tried both Prothik and Toppik, and liked certain things about both. Toppik left my hair softer and a bit shinier but wasn't all that realistic under certain lights and wasn't quite as durable (especially in rain). Prothik was more durable and eventually...

I think that a few hours a week is at least enough time to maintain a hairpiece. This week, I've been pretty lazy, and have spent a total of maybe 20 minutes re-gluing the hairline (I'm using tape at the back which has lasted me about two weeks this time, though I'll be redoing it soon). I...

I agree 100%! Most hairloss companies (pills, concealers, wigs, or transplants) use really deceptive marketing and very carefully chosen photographs. You're right, as well, about hairpieces having a lifespan. I get mine decently cheap, so I'm not all that inclined to keep wearing after they...

If you're doing all of your own maintenance then that's a VERY high number. I would think that price includes a monthly maintenance and bonding session at a hairpiece salon. Doing it yourself, you won't have more than a few bucks a month in supplies.

MichiganBaldy is a poster here that has poster lots of photos of his hairpieces that are absolutely mindblowing, as far as realism. Maybe do a search for his username. There are hairpiece specific forums out there with tons of photos. Many of us are a bit reluctant to post pictures on...
