I’ve read that coolpiece, toplace and Hairdirect all provide similar products, but I think hairdirect is more expensive and it might take longer to get your hair since they do more volume. I think they all offer pretty much the same type of product though.

It all depends in which country you live. If you live in Europe, buying a system from Hair Direct could be costly.

There's not just the massive shipping costs, but the import tax too.

When I was wearing hair full time I got mine through a local wig shop that caters to cancer patients. The pieces they offered were of exceptionally good quality but very pricey.

I no longer need to wear prosthetic hair anymore but I still use a clip-in topper sometimes. My natural hair has outgrown my current toppers though so I am shopping for new clip-in toppers. I am looking very closely at Hairdirect.com because I am unemployed and their pricing looks more doable for me than the local wig shop I was going to.

I don't understand how anybody can "order" a hair piece. Don't they have to examine you, and see how one would fit then customize it for your head?

I'm pretty curious about this too.

I mean, they could send you something bigger than you would need, but it might not match the contours of your headshape and leave crumpled up parts... right?

Just looked it up. Apparently they send you a self measuring kit to start with.
Then you send off your dimensions. Sounds easy enough.

But you would have rocks in your head to do it yourself the first time. You really need the support of professionals at the start.

Working with HairDirect for my new toppers, I got their a custom fitting kit that my hair stylist and I used to take the measurements and notes that are needed. They also ask for hair samples so they can match your natural hair color. If they don't get it right the first time, they will remake it till they get it perfect.

It worked out really well for me and it wasn't very difficult.

Thanks Tracy, I'm getting fitted with my new virtual reality hair by the end of this month. I'm hoping after awhile I can master this and order my own and apply it.. but I'm far from that for now.
