Full cap hair pieces

[Parker]

How much would it cost for me to get a full lace and expense to keep it up?

Firstly, you need to think of it on a yearly basis.
They need replacing because the hairs eventually start to fall out. The base you get determines how often they need replacing.

Having it short like you want means the hairs won't fall out very easily, so you would probably get longer out of them than most people.

Also, you want to have at least two at a time. Makes it easier to take one off and replace it with the other quickly.
Also gives that peace of mind of having a backup incase one gets damaged somehow or something.


The amount you spend per year ranges huugely depending on how lazy you are and what quality product you want.

If you went all out and got the best possible product (skin base) and put in no effort (let the clinic do it all for you) then you would probably be paying something like $5000 per year!
But if you get a slightly lower quality product (lace base) and ordered it yourself from oversea in bulk you could probably keep your costs down to something closer to $500 a year!
Massive difference.

Otherwise you could a balance anywhere in-between that sort of range to whatever suits you financially and effort wise.

When you go to Farrell their prices will probably scare you. But that's fine just go along with it and learn what you can from them. You can always take that knowledge and order overseas for a small fraction of their price.
But it would be good to get the first two from them to learn all the tricks.

Considering I have to shave my head completely bald, how often would I have to re-fit my system?

Differs for everyone but probably about once a month.
If your hair grows really fast then maybe a bit more often.

Can I sleep/shower with it on?

Certainly.
Swimming and showering etc isn't a problem at all. The owner of a clinic here who wears a full system is a regular surfer.

They just advise you not to immerse it in water for the first 40ish hours after getting it attached. Might weaken the bond and need refitting sooner.
Also when you put your hair under the shower you shouldn't have it too hot or it could weaken the bond also.

Sleeping isn't a problem. The product I have I can't even feel it's there at all at any time of day except in extreme heat.

I like my hair short on the sides, do I HAVE to have it long to hide the base?

I don't know how short you mean. If you mean like buzzed to the sort of length where you can see skin clearly. Then that might be pushing it. You'd be stuck with only the most expensive product as an option and even then there could be issues.
But I don't know, ask Farell.

I might visit Farrell hair here in Columbus Ohio, they gave me a call a few times, I chickened out and told them it's not for me yet. This time I want to go down there and see what this is all about.

Definitely. They will be able to give much better answers to all of these questions.
But they are going to quote you pretty huge prices.
