I love wearing hair!!!

[Laserhead]

A few years ago when I used to frequent this forum I was miserable. I have a great wife and a son who is now 10 years old and all I could do was think about my hair. I was scammed out of a lot of money, by a laser company that I should have spent for my young family and I was bitter about it. I finally looked into trying to wear a partial hair system and I never looked back. I haven’t felt the need to post here for years, but I was on here today and thought I would help someone out who had questions about their application.

To me hair pieces, propecia and hair transplants are are only real options. I’m married so I never had to deal with giving the “talk” about my hair to anyone. My wife loves it and I really look and feel so much better. Yes, there are times that the hair comes in too dark or not as thick as the one before, but if you plan for those issues, they are easy to correct. Once you learn how to work with these things, for me it was like a miracle. I’m so surprised that there is not more talk about this solution on this forum. Let’s change that.

Now that I am in a much better place, I don’t think that coming here and talking about wearing hair will get me depressed like it use to coming here. I think it might be time to give back a little so if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. I think I’m going to change my avitar too, that represented the as old me before I got my hair back. By the way, I don’t work for any company or whatever, I just want to give back a little, since I’m so much happier with myself now.

I get mine from my local hair stylist. I don’t want to ask her were she orders it, but I think it’s from a factory direct from china. All of these online places most likely use some of the same factories. I use a very thin v-looped base. It’s so thin in fact that you have to be really careful when removing it not to tear the base and it sheds hair since there are no knots. Once it’s on your skin it’s invisible up to about one inch away. I mean someone has to be literally within kissing distance and even then it can be difficult to see. These are not for long term use so you have to order a lot. You can buy one for less than $500 and cut it into a couple of smaller pieces. You can also make your own template say if you just want to fill in your hairline or bald spot. As long as you are ok with someone you are dating being able to feel it if they really dig into your hair, if the color is right and the density is right, it can look flawless. For me it was a great solution. If the general public knew that hairpieces can be like this, no one would make fun of them and it would help a lot of guys from needlessly suffering.

Any pictures? Before I went on the big 3 I went to a uk stylist who fits and sells them, she showed me her client and the piece was amazing. Luckily I done well and still am doing well on the big 3 for now, never know what the future holds so a piece might be a good investment as emergency.

Honestly, it's hard to really show you how good it looks without revealing my face, which is not something I am comfortable with. Closeups of hairlines are very misleading. I met one guy who worked for a big name and very expensive place here in SoCal, who was trying to sell me on going to this place. The hairline looked flawless in the pics. He showed me combed back pics and everything. When I went to meet with him, he was waiting outside of the coffee place we were meeting at and I could see he was wearing a rug from across the street. It was horrendous and this place charges like $3000 for a piece and makes all kinds of claims of working with people in the movies and TV.

You’re just going to have to take my word for it, I’m really happy!

Interesting. I'm glad you were able to make peace with your hair loss and thank you for coming back to the forum to share. I don't think wigs are for me, but I've often wondered what it is like to wear one.

Does it ever feel too hot? I would imagine it would feel like wearing a hat. Are you concerned that it might aggravate your hair loss? Do you wear the hair piece all the time --swimming, showering, etc? Do you ever get tired of it? Have you ever found yourself in embarrassing situations, e.g. a strong gust of wind blows it off in front of other people? If so, how did you handle it? Do most people in your life know you have a hairpiece?

Hi Laserhead :-)

Thanks for your post, it's great that you want to give something back. Giving something back is probably one of the signs of success/successful people.
I'm glad it worked out for you, and yes this forum doesn't talk enough about hair systems.
It's a real option and for some people, maybe the only option for some.
You know, hairloss is different for everyone, and there isn't a one-size-fits all answer for everyone - we probably all need something a bit different.

So I do have a first question for you:

You mentioned about pieces coming in darker than they should be and that you could fix it. How do you go about fixing that, and getting it back to the right colour?

Cheers

In most cases you can dye it. Not ideal as you will need to redo it periodically, but the best solution for that.
