Progress and innovation of hair systems

[Sabaz1990]

Hey guys,
I'm curious are hair systems improving every year?
Progressing in case of less chance of spotting, easier maintenance, better looking etc.?
Any new innovation coming up in this sector?

There have been big improvements in the strength and reliability of the adhesives, even over the last 5 years. Plastic based hairpieces ("Thinskin") also seem to have improved a lot, although I don't personally use them. But the two big improvements which have made all the difference are price and information. Fine lace hairpieces have been available since the 1930s, but they were individual works of hand craftsmanship for an elite few who could afford them - mostly Hollywood actors. Now you can buy the same thing on the Web from a Chinese sweatshop for $200. The very biggest improvement has been the Internet. Previously mens' hairpieces were a deadly secret that dare not speak its name. Consequently wearers were at the mercy of shark outfits like Hair Club. Now you can preserve your anonymity but still find out everything you need to know to get a first class result from a hair system by reading forums like this and looking on YouTube, and you can do it for a price that the average Joe can afford.

I think things are good and getting better all the time.

My supplier is now talking about "invisible knots" - which while not invisible are as small as I have seen even when doubled.

I'm just wondering what's gonna happen in 5 years, because I believe I'd have to start wearing them about that time and for me it makes the most sense out of all other options like finasteride, hair transplant etc.

Im sure hairsystems, meds and hair transplant will have moved on again. Also we will be edging closer to a baldness cure.
