    VR system installed - thoughts and pictures.

    Looks pretty good! The color match from what I can see, is phenomenal. Might I suggest when you go DIY to try Got2beGlued Gel and Freezing Spray for attaching?! I have had tremendous luck using those products instead of glue or tape, and they are a simple way of practicing DIY.

    Anyone ever solved keeping fibres on your head - not pillow after sleeping (crown)

    More like this one, actually. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Organic-Bolster-Cylinder-Buckwheat-Pillow-CherryRed-/321033435371?hash=item4abf1578eb Also, sometimes I would just take a regular square couch type pillow and fold it over to create a "bump".

    Anyone ever solved keeping fibres on your head - not pillow after sleeping (crown)

    Don't wear concealers anymore, but when I did, what worked for me was using one of those smaller, cylindrical pillows on top of another pillow(my pillows were always pretty thin. Might not work as well if you have one of those huge, fluffy pillows). This way, neither pillow comes into contact...

    Hair system - what about your girlfriends/wifes?

    Yep. People only notice the bad ones. That's kind of a good thing for the rest of us, but also not good in a way because the bad ones that everyone notices further the stigma of wearing. I still wish the first hairpiece company I bought from(won't mention the name here) still went around the...

    Pros and Cons of a system.

    That could be part of the problem right there. Those big, money-grubbing hairpiece salons(like one that shall not be named, but always has ads on tv - where most of their money goes) slap a way-too-dense rug on your head and affix it with super-glue, tell you you look great, and then push you...

    Pros and Cons of a system.

    Ok, since I have to for you, let me clarify: I feel it is better for me. With a piece you can have any density you want. You just have to make sure it matches your native hair density and temple points. Or if you are a diffuse thinner with too much hairloss all over, you can still spring for...

    Pros and Cons of a system.

    I have to agree with you on one point, Fred. As someone who has tried both transplants and concealers(for quite some time), I can say that wearing a hairpiece is definitely not on the same level as those... it's better! It's not a perfect situation, but what is? The only way it would be...

    Amazing Hair System - Perfect 20's Look. Video Attatched. Possible?

    Looks legit to me. When TopLace used to do conventions(I went to two of them), I saw a lot of great transformations. It is one of the reasons I had the confidence to finally try wearing. If I hadn't been to those conventions and seen what they can do with hair pieces personally, I may be...

    CLooney's Piece

    Different lighting can change the way the hair looks.

    CLooney's Piece

    I really don't think he wears. The reason his gray looks "different" on the sides than on top is because that is how gray hair is sometimes, and I could even say, usually. Most guys have a higher density of gray on their temples and sides than on top.

    Toppik for beard

    Yeah, I would think that something like Dermmatch that you kind of "paint" on would be better for a beard than a fiber concealer. Especially since the beard hair is upside down most of the time(unless you live your life standing on your head). ;-)

    Thinking of getting a system any tips?

    One thing I would recommend to any new hair wearer is to try Got2BeGlued Spiking Gel mixed with the Freezing Spray, for use as an adhesive. If it works with your body chemistry(as it does mine) you will have a strong hold that will last just as long, if not longer, than glues or tapes. And it...

    Anyone tried Fullmore ?

    Yes, I tried it... once. I was down to my last sprays of Prothik and I too thought that "since it(Fullmore) was made by the same people who made Toppik" that it should be pretty good, because I used Toppik and was always happy with it. So I decided to give it a try. That was a mistake. If...

    Real talk now guys, should I take the plunge and get a system?

    :laugh: Now to the OP. If you want to try it, do it! Don't let the naysayers get you down. It's really not that bad. In fact, it is a step up from where I was with using concealers. I have just started wearing, and I don't regret it. I have even been out on a pontoon boat on a very windy...
