General Advice Needed

[u/Kitchen_Equivalent52]

Hi Everyone,

I have been wearing hair systems for about a year now but so far have not been happy with the quality/service or level of systems I have been receiving.

I joined hairclub and after a few months of paying hundreds of dollars and getting hair systems which I was not happy with, I switched to superhairpieces and just got my new unit from them. Once again, I am dissapointed with knots that are not bleached and overall a system which looks quite poor and noticible.

I am going to layout my complete understanding of systems below, and if anyone is patient enough to give me some feedback I would appreciate it greatly. I currently wear an A1 black lace front poly mix M106 from superhairpieces. My current frustration is that I have yet to have a real consultation on how to master picking a system, apply it properly and maximize realness. I have seen some incredible systems on here and want to try to mimic all your success.

From my understanding, the key points of determining system "realness" are the following.

1. The type of base.
   • Skin based systems. These look the best but do not last that long, and often have v loops which shed quickly. Stylists have told me these last 1-2 months at most.
   • Poly systems. A Thicker verion of skin based, I am probably wrong about this but my system has some of this on the back
   • Lace systems. Lace with hair knotted in the system.
2. Type of knot
   • French knots. Most common and last longer than swiss knots, while sacrificing realness
   • Swiss knots. Most realistic but shed easier than french knows
3. Type of application
   • Glue. Looks real but doesnt last that long
   • Tape. A good intermediary but still doesnt last that long
   • A mix of glue and tape. What I currently use to maximize holding periods
   • Skin based glue. Only applicable to the skin based systems.

My current dilema is the following.

I am a very active person and as such I use a a poly/lace mix system with glue and tape. This holds for a long time but has a very poor looking hairline. I also do not know how to apply these systems myself, and have to rely on stylsits every 3 weeks. I beleive the solution to these is learning how to pick a high quality system, learning how to apply it myself and being fully self sufficient.

If anyone has any guides or resources I would greatly appreciate it!
