  1. Hi Grincher

     

    How would I go about finding a reputable salon near me (Heathrow side of London)?

     

    I'm keen to order the piece from the same place you do, but I really want to make sure there's a good salon nearby that I can rely on - at least for the first few times.

     

     

    Thanks.

  3. I've been wearing a piece for 8 years so I can offer some insight.

     

    Going to a saloon is throwing money away. You can do this stuff yourself, and get a better result. There is a learning curve, but that is where companies make their money...duping you into thinking they are professionals and you cant do it yourself.

     

    I would never leave a piece on longer than 7 days, 4 weeks is just asking for issues.

     

    I have a spiked up hairline. At first I was paranoid about making everything perfect etc now I'm much more laid back. Thats whats pushed me to get a transplant, even a half decent one will make a huge difference...and so I don't have to waste energy into a piece and more into life.

     

    I use tape all around and dont bother with glue. I used to use glue at the front, but tape is much easier. Blue liner is the king of tapes, ultrahold isnt bad too. I would use a slightly weaker tape at the temple points to reduce shedding.

     

    I've tried them all, partials, 3/4cap, fullcap. I've come to the realisation that keeping as much of your own hair is best.

     

     

    So are you saying based on your experience, it is better to make do without a hair system?

  4. Thanks for your replies guys!!

     

    To answer questions asked, i have been on fin for approx 4 years now. It has definately stopped my hair loss. I tried minoxidil a while back but didnt really give it much of a go after say 6 weeks due to shedding which scared me!! Asides from these 2 have not tried anything else. I unfortunately when to AHS when i first noticed hair loss which not only wasted money for nothing but moreso wasted time which i could have used to halt loss by taking fin then if i had found out about it then, oh well.

     

    In terms of consults, i have had one with dr bisanga, ferudini and wong. Bisanga said need to wait a few years, the other 2 said probably best not to HT as when the density of donor area was measured it was not deemed enough. I know i can't grow hair in donor area and that when shaved down the hair does not look too bad, however i was just seeing if it would be viable to do a small HT simply for frontal hairline.

     

    It may not look like hair loss from the pics but when i do grow it out, it is more than evident as hair is thin throughout the top.

  5. I am what is classed as thin diffuser, i even suffer from hair loss in donor area which causes limited supply/what is seen as insufficient for full HT.

     

    I dont think I would be suitable for one based on previous consults so I guess apart from Meds that would be all I could take.

     

    What I wanted to know if there were any recommendations for someone to see who would at least look at a small HT for closure of hairline. I appreciate many doctors do not like this due to creating a hairline that may in future cause issues but being 28 and not seeing any change in hairloss for past four years, i feel i may be a suitable person to go for a more aggressive hairline.

     

    Any help/thoughts appreciated
