    Do's And Don't Of Styling Your Hair System

    Besides adding shine to hair, does argan oil have other benefits? I would assume it doesn't have any virtues as a styling product. It's been an open secret in the Chinese entertainment industry that Huang Xiaoming, Jay Chou and JJ Lin are wearing hairpieces. I have a couple of Chinese...

    Do's And Don't Of Styling Your Hair System

    I've used mousse before and have to admit that I'm not a fan of its wet and sticky look. Surprisingly, the product that I have right now is a matte clay called joico ice erratic molding clay. Guess that should be fine. Also, do I have to always shampoo product off my hair or would just...

    Do's And Don't Of Styling Your Hair System

    Good stuff! I already have thick side and back hair so Argan oil would probably fit in perfectly into my routine. Thank you!

    Do's And Don't Of Styling Your Hair System

    I'm probably just going to stick with wax, clay or pomade for styling. Would you be able to share a few examples of mousse products you've personally used? I definitely see the point of a shorter cut. In fact, I might go for one myself just to keep styling simple. I've also attached a photo of...

    Do's And Don't Of Styling Your Hair System

    Thanks for the tip, Noah. I'm going to reattach my HS every week so I'm not that concerned about lifting, especially since I'll be using a scalp protector along with the adhesives. That said, i see your point about the security that a non-exposed hairline style can give. The styles in the second...

    Do's And Don't Of Styling Your Hair System

    Hi Noah, thanks for the tips. Would thinner bases like a 0.03mm UTS or swiss lace also put you at risk of a detectable hairline? I'm Chinese with jet black hair and I'm hard-pressed to find a look without an exposed hairline that isn't korean bangs. I've honestly outgrown that look after my...

    Do's And Don't Of Styling Your Hair System

    Hey Diesel, thanks for the tips. I notice that new hairpieces always look extra shiny and poofy. Does hair oil help to achieve that look? I'm thinking I might want to try avoiding that as I don't wanna draw extra attention to my hair. Could you elaborate on what you meant by 'start contract'...

    Thanks for the tips pal! Would you care to explain why we should avoid hairspray? Do you also spray leave-in conditioner before or after you style with product? I'll be extra careful to make my hair look extra imperfect :)

    How To Prevent Damage To Existing Hairs?

    Hey Noah, I visit the salon every 2 weeks and they use Walker Ultra Hold glue to attach the system, as well as optima solution to detach it. It's ridiculous how I was never aware of the proper practices for attachment. I will consider more experienced salons in future. Thank you so much...

    How To Prevent Damage To Existing Hairs?

    Hey Noah, Thanks for the information. The salon I go to is a pretty reputable one in where I live, and I'm surprised to learn that what they're doing is not the best for my bio hair. Is it common for some salons to tape the back of the system to the existing hairs for better blending, or is...

    How To Prevent Damage To Existing Hairs?

    Hey Steve, Thank you so much for the quick reply. I'll try to make sure that I don't allow the hairs to grow too long again before removing the piece. I actually tried removing it while my hair was an inch long and it did hurt to remove it. I am also curious as to whether the piece has to be...

    How To Prevent Damage To Existing Hairs?

    Hello, I recently stopped wearing my hair system because my transplanted hairs have grown in, and noticed that on the left side of the scalp, there is a noticeable thinning of hairs that follows the track of the tape + glue which I use to bond the system to my scalp. I usually remove it from...

    Any Experience With Very Low Dose Oral Minoxidil (less Than 5 Mg)

    Hey guys, Posting this again because my oral minoxidil tablets are running out and shipment is being delayed. I know from other posts on this forum that 1ml of Minoxidil 5% solution is 50mg. My question is, if I want to get 5mg out of the liquid formula, would that equate to 0.25ml of the 2%...
