It looks like it is buildup of glue - and/or too much glue was applied. I would try cleaning it all up as others suggested, then using less of the ghost bond, and leave the area near the hairline without ghost bond, maybe ½ inch and perhaps trying a 2 thin layers of Walker Ultra Hold if you are...

Shookwun, Why are you so negative towards systems? What happened to you? Did you used to work in the industry? I see you post many negative things about systems in this forum. If you are so against them – or obviously feel like they are lackluster, then why continue to participate? Do you feel...

I have a hair system from a salon and I love it. They use ultra-hold in the summer months, reattach every three weeks, and I have not had a problem. I literally have worked out in the sun for days upon days this year in 100+ degree temps and only started to lose my bond a bit in the back at 3...

Thank you gentlemen for all the advice. Another issue I think is this system is getting old - I am wearing it past its expiration date so to speak since I have a ton of yard work to do and I don't want to bleach out or sweat out a new system - workouts do that enough already. I really do...

I was thinking that about my hairline too. The lady that attached it worked on it a bit so that might be why it looks like that now. I am curious, what gives away the NW7 via the sides? I usually do a side part that looks nice I think, this time I was literally outta time and told them to just...

Okay, I promised you guys I would keep you updated on my progress. I switched from a total thin skin unit to a thin skin with a lace front. It has been great. My salon sees be about every 3 weeks during the summer (love them), 1 or 2 if I wanted...I just cannot drive up there that often. They...

Dude, I hear your concern, and at somepoint and system might make sense. But try some of the topical stuff, better shampoo and conditioner, maybe some minoxidil (sp)? I would kill to have hair that nice. Heck, I would buy some of that spray in stuff and cover the top spot. Seriously though, with...

To me it sounds like the attachment. The glue or scalp prep is not right. I have been experimenting with my own trying to learn DIY. If you are scratching so hard it "weeps," then you are having a reaction I would think. My VR system always gets a bit "tingly," in direct sunlight for a few...

Thank you guys for all the feedback! I honestly appreciate it. My overall goal here is not just to learn, but to SHOW what it is like to wear a system and give updates. I want new guys coming in to see the good and the bad - I have talked about both. I don't claim to have the perfect system(I...

I am just learning so much, I ordered some stuff from hair direct today to supplement and try different things. My salon has been very good to me so far I think. Everyone is different, and the process can be simple or complex. I think I am in the middle right now. I am still a little scared to...

Thanks for the compliments guys, I love the system and I think it’s a good match, I am so excited:) - - - Updated - - - I appreciate the advice, I think tape might be the way to go until it cools down – I mean it’s in the high 90’s here and it’s only going to get hotter and of course being...

LOL - YES I am seeing pictures. I am sure you guys are right, this is one of the downsides of a system. :(

I created a separate thread that talks about my experience, with pictures on having a VR system installed. I had a VR system installed with a lace front last Wednesday. I was shocked at how good the hairline looked. I don’t have pictures from that day but I have attached a few showing how I...

What about Tae Kwon Do? There is mostly light sparing, no takedowns, just very sweaty. Its an excellent workout. I would love to get back into it.

I would have to agree with shookwun. Unless it get serious, seeing each other all the time…sleep overs, etc…I would keep it to myself. I have been in a relationship for 8 years with a woman and it was still difficult for me to tell her how hard being bald was for me, and that I REALLY wanted a...
