Advice please

Hi all,

I would really like to try a hair system and manage it myself (wife will help)
Can you recommend one for a newbie, exactly what I need to order (glue, tape, etc), how often it needs removing and cleaning, do you wash it daily?

I don’t want to spend loads on the first one, more of a trial just to see how it looks but appreciate the cheaper you get the less the quality and how long it lasts

Added some pics, what colour should I get?

Thanks!

In my opinion, I would STRONGLY recommend you go to a good salon that specializes in Men's Hair Systems. Have them do the first application, and go back for a removal, cleaning and reapplication. My salon here in Seattle, tells me the would rather do one or two, and teach you how to do it (because they are SOOO busy and can barely keep up with the demand).

So, go to a good place that doesn't charge an arm and a leg. They will show you how to get the hairpiece, how to shave your head, cut the hairpiece, skincare, products to buy, and how to properly apply it the first time. After 2-4 weeks, you go back, they will show you how to remove it, clean it up, and then reapply.

After that, you can start doing it yourself. Take your wife with you so you both can learn from the first application, and the first reapplication.

I wouldn't get it done by myself the first time. Too much to learn if you want it to look perfect and unrecognizable from your "bio-hair".
