I have never used a hair system but that doesn't mean I haven't thought about it many times over the years. I think they have improved in recent years just like hair transplantation. There must be enough guys who are satisfied with them, willing to commit to the maintenence, and can afford the regular replacement. If not, how come there are so many HCM and Apollo outlets?

I don't dispute that hair systems can provide fuller coverage (especially in cases of extensive baldness)and lend themselves to a variety of styles and looks. These factors are generally limitations with surgical hair restoration. In may case I will probably have to accept my bald spot at the crown. My feeling though is that as we men grow older who cares!!! I think most of us would rather have our own hair rather than literally be glued to a system for the rest of our lives. I want to look appropriate for my age and am perfectly OK with a thinner density.

Good one!! Maybe we can come up with 101 uses for a piece! For number 1, How about as a "buffer" after waxing the vehicle?

There are some people who have had Hair Transplants who still wear there Hair Systems.

No one can argue with the fact that these days hair systems look very natural and pretty much undectable to the average person. The only people may might take a second look are hair system wearers themselves, which doesnt really matter...But i agree with Mt. Baldy in that if they could find a way to surgically or asethically affix the piece onto the scalp, a hair system would be better than an ht in my opinion. I mean come on i see guys on this forum that have gotten ht's and they are still using all these medications and concealers and what not.,.what the hell is the point of getting a ht if you still have to do all that stuff! I am optimistic that in a few years, the hair system affixing issue will be solved and sales will take off.
