Before you give up, I'd try buzzing the sides and go for a french crop. Based on my understanding, that look is pretty forgiving for people with thin sides. Your system hair is a little long, but what you could do is request your salon to cut your system and biohair; they're the ones who said a...

Hi Baldrik (awesome name btw - from Blackadder mayhaps?) Not to hijack the conversation, but I'm curious about your minoxidil experience. I too quit minoxidi, about 7 months ago. It's been an endless shed all over my scalp, and also body. Is this similar to your experience?

If I may ever make the move to a full-cap I'll be sure to post pictures. I really don't mind if people know I wear a wig, in a way I enjoy the bald look and would definitely like to alternate between that and wearing a system/wig. However it would be probably have to be semi-long and messy like...

Yes the sides are definitely the problem area. I actually think the second guy does it right (the system is otherwise in my opinion a bit of a mess, but in his defense he writes that he hasn't bonded it in any way) by letting the sides be long and messy. Adding glasses as an accessory, like you...

Thanks for your in-put! Do you still a wear a full-cap?

Hi, Due to DUPA / receding temple points, I've been looking into the option of wearing a full-cap or wig instead of a topper. I've gotten great advice from some of the more veteran members here: you know who you are, thank you! I've spoke to a guy who wears a full-on wig and he seems to be...

Again, thank you very much for your insight Noah. I agree that it was a bit silly. Also, I think he committed the deadly sin of thinking a little too much of what others may think of him wearing a hair system. As with many things, throwing away what is essentially conditioned shame can really...

Yes that was exactly his issue. Also perhaps that for him there wasn't a clear part, which made the system he ordered stand out from his biological hair. You can read his post and make your own assessment of his issues here. As for myself, I think I'm going to order a stock pieces from one of...

Wow! Thanks for the great advice Hair Newbie. That ventilation idea for thin skin is genius. As an active person, how often do you clean your thinskin system?

Thanks for the quick reply Noah. I'm seriously impressed by your knowledge and selfless attitude. To be honest, I've been feeling very depressed this past month, bordering on self-destructive. It's reassuring to me that there is a way to live with hair on your head, despite being bald. And that...

Hi, I'm looking into getting a hair system. My hair is rapidly getting worse on account of me stopping Minoxidil 3.5 months ago after using 1.5 years. I have been losing hair all over for approximately a month and it's driving me insane. Here's hoping that what it's all temporary telogen hair...
