How Authentic Are These Online Ads?

[Leduc]

As I wait for my system I occasionally google hair replacement system before and after pics for some encouragement, but honestly many of those look way too good to be true. Is a lot of what I am seeing online just clever photoshopping, guys with full heads of hair in the after picture with the before pics altered?
A lot of the same models appear in multiple ads for different salons and providers, and often with very different hair styles.
Thankfully several forum members here have posted photos which is keeping me optimistic.

I'm sure many vendors Photoshop or use models not wearing systems. Nevertheless, it's irrelevant. They could have the best-looking model claiming to wear a system and yours can look terrible. On the contrary they could have one that looks terrible and yours can come out looking awesome. Don't stress too much

There definitely are sites which use pictures of models who are not wearing a system. Usually the accompanying text will say "what do you think of this style?" or something similar, which doesn't actually say in terms that it is a system. Any time you see a picture like this, where the hairline is slicked back and you can see individual random hairs emerging from the scalp, 10 to 1 it's not really a system. No system wearer would choose such a difficult style, with such a lot of almost bare lace, for daily wear.



Generally if they show you the 'before' picture, it is a genuine system. There might be a bit of blurring at the hairline, but I think most buyers are acutely aware of that possibility, so I don't think it's too common.

It's the waiting and anxiety, plus too much time on my hands. My first one didn't work out because of a bad color match, so that's on my mind as I wait.

Hairlines must be difficult but why would a big movie star settle for this? I have seen several pictures of John T. where the lace was very obvious.

Nobody knows why he did this. Hairpieces like the one in the picture are used in the theatre and on screen. A wide band of lace is left on, to prevent the piece shedding or having an obvious edge, but then that strip of lace is covered in make-up so that it doesn't show. Pieces like this were never meant to be worn in "real life" situations. Maybe Travolta slipped up and went out with his theatrical toupee on, or maybe he chose this way to out himself as a wearer. Who knows?

Go with established companies, man. No worth dishing out crazy dough for something subpar.

It depends on who. My company only has pics of our own models, with before/after pics + vids, so you know they are legit, others use stock photos.

Hi BB. I googled hair replacement services in Israel but came up empty. Does your company advertise online?

They look great, thanks for the link.
For my future reference, do you provide systems with grey human hair? My salon told me grey is only possible with synthetic hair so that's what I have coming soon, but now I have my doubts and may be looking to order online eventually.

I was looking at places near me and one had a video in which they actually blurred the hairline (and were called out for it in the comments).

Generally just trust the videos where they go through the process and have plenty of light so as not to hide imperfections.

Thanks!

My grey is synthetic, but we offer human grey as well.
