    Default hair system: full cap vs partial unit

    everything is in the title.
    i never used either. but from what if read on the web, full cap seem to be more practical.

    no need to go to a hair clinic every month to cut your hair, just shave it off yourself, and you don't have to worry about color mismatch that may happen when your system start to get old.

    but how detectable is it ?.

    i'd like to hear from your experiences and opinions.

    thanks.

    do you mean a topper rather than a full cap? I think a full cap would be the hardest to manage.

    A topper and a partial are similar in look and management if you get a good supplier.

    I usually colour my system after 5-months but its like once.

    If you can do the partial unit then do it. If not then go to the full cap

    For the most part, it's going to depend on the extent of your hair loss and what your goals are.

    For some people, hair loss doesn't just affect the crown and top of the head, it can also (usually to a lesser degree, just thinning) hit the sides of the head and nape of neck area. If that's you and your goal is very thick "youthful" looking hair, you might consider a full cap, because a thick high-density topper would look weird with thinned sides and back. I have a suspicion my nape of neck/"donor" area might be starting to thin, so if it progresses I could see myself becoming a full cap wearer. I'm only 22, and I want to look it.

    I've read some people saying that the full cap hair systems also have a stronger hold to your head than the toppers, but I have no personal experience to confirm that myself (yet at least).

    From what I've seen full cap hair systems cost more though, so you might want to weigh that up with the benefits. Not paying for hair dye or sessions at the clinic is all well and good, but if you're paying that much more for a full cap then you're still spending the same money anyway.
