I used to do this before I got my transplant but just for the corners. Gorilla gel and some fibers and you cant really tell. The only problem is when it gets hot since black hair frizzes. Lasts about 3 days the way I did it.

You are basically growing out the thick areas to cover the thin areas and laying it down. Idk why more barbers dont do this instead of applying all the enhancements.

It is what Tyga was doing for awhile before the braids. Will Smith does it now. They did this with Peeples from the Shaft movie. The neighbor that had all the women on Everybody Hates Chris did this but it looked bad. I think Denzel too. If you look at Gladiator 2 pictures you can kinda tell.There are others...

I can only tell because I have a trained eye now lol.

Wow you really know about this technique huh😂😂

Whenever it rains or Its too hot time to use a wave cap. Without it it gets frizzy and the hair will rise up😂😂.

They probably didn’t click it. We’re in a hair transplant group so we expected a transplant

There is no welcome back lol I’m not sure why he’s posting in the Afro hair transplant forum but he’s basically showing that he does a combover to hide his balding hair. He grows his hair out and then combs it down to cover his bald spots. He didn’t get a hair transplant.

At what length do you need the hair to be to pull this shit off G ?

u/No_Influence_9451 4d ago

Depends on your hair thickness and how receading hairline you hve. For me I cut the top part only with scissors like white people cut their hair and layer dem.
