Anyone experienced on this? Friend of mine has no donor, norwood 8.

Has decided on wig (not toupee). Going with a gray/silver color. Short. Very matter of fact decision about being practical about needing to look young in his sales job.

BTW: he is just moved, so no big deal on the "suddenly looking better" thing.

Problem is, how hot are those things? He works in an office, but after 8 hours??

He is a swimmer, so he wants to take it off after work/social things and hit the pool.

Just put it on like a hat in the mornings monday to friday. He is not really worried about it, just
doesnt want it to itch.

Your friend meaning 'you' wont experience much issues.

it will be fine. If you plan on swimming then just wear a swimming cap on top.

Taking that thing on, and off every day will make you want to off yourself. A lot of cleaning, unless you plan on going the clip approach, which you don't have the option to do, seeing as you will being going full topper, with no native hair to attach on

So you're planning on wearing a wig to work then taking it off for social settings? Makes sense.

Can they do hair systems for someone who is completely bald?

Yeah, although a massive nuisance and crutch


I am assuming you mean the sides, and back in respect to the top also?


Full systems

Uh, no.

He is a norwood EIGHT. So, he is shaved, and will wear a light do rag thing under there as most wig wearers seem to.

Who said anything about swimming being a social occasion?

The point is, he needs to remove it in order to be able to swim.

You cannot wear a glued on toupee to a swimming pool five days a week.

Well you did, "He is a swimmer, so he wants to take it off after work/social things and hit the pool." did you forget what you typed?

If swimming 5 days a week is more important to you than your hair then I question why you'd even want a wig, having a wig will already make you very conscious, but taking it off in public 5 days a week to swim would also make you feel like you're living two different lives; one where you're bald going for a swim in public and one where you're hiding under a wig.

Dont forget dedicating an hour every day to de, and re-attach the piece.

Brutal.

Could use that hour at the gym
