Yes, Botox works for scalp and it does stop the sweat glands from working for a few months,but as you say it will need redone when it wears off. The added bonus is it will take care of any wrinkles! Lol

Clean your scalp with a sulfer based soap and then apply a sulfer based mask. Once rinsed off and dry apply an anti sweat product called Odaban. Leave on overnight and wash off in the morning using the sulfer soap. Wipe your scalp with 100% distilled witch hazel and apply your glue as normal.

3 good quality systems per annum, cost ?450. 10 years of buying systems, roughly costing me ?5000. Now maths isn't my strong point but I would hazard an educated guess that this works out cheaper than a top quality HT?

It all depends on what you have got to work with with regards to HTs. And there are plenty of guys and gals out there who are not in a fortunate position financially or for health reasons or simply like me, do not have enough donor hair to cover the balding area. If my hair loss wasn't so bad then it would be a viable option for me but as it stands I get great results with a system with little to no hassle with regards to maintenance etc... I have been looking at restoring my temple points through HT some time in the near future and hopefully I can find a good surgeon here in the UK to perform this task.

You could take your pick from Toplace, Easypiece, Coolpiece or Northwestlace to name but a few. The quality from these places are no different from Hair Direct in all honesty.

Yes i have had a Hair Direct system in the past. They are ok but are a bit on the expensive side unless you buy in bulk which is a bit pointless. You can get the same if not better quality elsewhere for less money.

Out of the 3 you mentioned i have only tried Hollywood Lace. A few years ago the systems were of consitant good quality but i haven't ordered from him for about 2 years now so i am unsure if the quality is the same? But i have no idea about the other 2 you mentioned?

There are far cheaper options out there than Bloomsbury and also the same if not better quality. Try shopping around?

The guy was a fraud,end of! They were hair system photographs, but not him in the photos!!!! and he got the company he was trying to promote into all kinds of trouble!!

I have been beta testing for a soon to be launched UK company. I am on my second test system from them so far. I have to say that the first i recieved was better quality all round,although in saying that this one isn't that bad just that the first i recieved was of much better quality, hair, ventilation etc...... Communication with the guy has been first class and he seems to be taking all my info on board and he also tells me that there are a further 4 beta testers out there(anyone on here?) From what i can gather they will launch sometime in the early part of next year? I have no idea what the name of the comapany will be but from what i can gather they are an established hairdressing business for a number of years and have supplied womens wigs in the past but are looking to supply mens hair systems. This appeals to me as i would not be dealing with a hair vendor but actually someone who has been trained and works in the world of hair and not forgetting based in the UK! If they keep the price reasonable and can match the quality of the first sysytem i recieved then they will be on to a winner. I will obviously keep everyone updated.

There are plenty of black people who wear it is just that they do not tend to post as much for soem reason?? But the colour of your skin doesn't make a blind bit of difference as the base materials come in all shades for blending purposes. You can buy a systems as small or as large as you like.

Can i ask what do you regard as a reasonable price Ricky?

Your best bet would be to buy from the net, especially if you plan, quite rightly, to maintain yourself. There are a few good reputable companies out there who can supply very good quality systems for a fraction of the price that salons offer and most often than not they are of better quality,go figure!! You can get a good high quality custom system for easily ?200-?250, and with the average of 3 systems a year that would work out at ?750 which is very good value compaired to the thousands that some companies charge?? Your call?

I have been in a few situations at the pub with close mates who have ripped other people apart because of their hair,and yes even i have joined in on that. In fact one of the blokes is well known in the area who openly admited to transplants and as the years have past he has resorted to more and more concealer and it does look very odd,in fact freakish is best described of his hair. Trouble with him is that his side and back hair has thinned to an extent that there is no more donor hair,which is the case with most guys eventually,it does catch up on you. Regarding photos i myself would never post my picture on the web for a variety of reasons but fair play to the guys who do! For proof of how good and realistic they can look then just have a search around the hairwearing forums. I have to also add that i have never had a problem with my hair in the wind either and most the time i never use any products. If you get the density and size correct then you won't have that problem. Maybe the answer is not going to and trusting the so called top hair replacement salons? Complete rip off if you ask me!and not just monetry either! It is all about having the correct knowledge to wear successfully!

Where did you get your wigs from? The reason i ask is that today the availability of near perfect wigs is almost the norm unlike 20 years ago and sadly at some places today. Education on wearing is needed to be a sucessful wearer and it isn't rocket science either.:rolleyes: The golden rules for not getting busted are appropriate density, colour match, grey precentage if appropriate and hairline shape and placement. If you ignore any of these factors then you will get busted,no doubt about it!:eek: I could sit in your company and you would never in a million years know or guess that i wore and that is not me being dillousional either. I have some very straight talking family and friends and believe me, if they even guessed i wore i would be ripped to shreds!!!!:eek:
