Senior Member Postdoc Posted September 5, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2013 What is permagraft? Does it damage your hair? Lets say I get it, can one day still get hair transplant if I remove the permagraft. If you can remove. It's just another hairpiece and it's definitely not permanent, so there's nothing to stop you having a HT in the future. One thing to watch out for is that some methods of attachment can pull on your hair which may cause traction alopecia over time.

SuperHair Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I just got a hair system and I don't like the glue and changing the tape crap. Premagraft sounds like it comes with less headaches. Maybe I should do that instead. And when I save some more money up I will take my bald head to Dr. Konior.

SuperHair Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Also can you please tell me the best methods of attachment and what I should look out for? Did some research but no place talked about what how some methods of attachments aren't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some research but no place talked about what how some methods of attachments aren't good. The most practical way of attaching a hairpiece is to use double-sided tape. Some guys prefer glue but it gets pretty messy if you're not careful. My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Postdoc Posted September 5, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2013 And however they try to phrase it, even Permagraft will involve some sort of adhesive and they'll probably charge the earth for reattachments. It's really not good for the scalp to go for weeks between attachments. Find the right tape and it really shouldn't be too much of a hassle. I did this for 20+ years before going for a HT!

SuperHair Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I thought they put it on and that's it. I just go for the hair cut. It sounds like I have to get it reattached every few weeks like the hair system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Postdoc Posted September 5, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2013 Is this some sort of hair extension technique? If so, it means expensive reattachments plus you need hair in the first place. Possibly ok for those with diffuse thinning.

SuperHair Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) (Link removed by moderator) Wonder if I can still get hair transplant if I do this? Edited September 7, 2013 by David - TakingThePlunge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHair Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Nevermind. Got my answer It's a waste of time hair system is cheaper compared to all this other junk. Let's say the glue that is used for the hair system causes damage to the hair. Or even traction alopecia. Can I still get hair transplants or is that area damaged for good? My glue is not on the entire scalp just around the sides. Wonder if the tape on the front will ruin my hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Postdoc Posted September 6, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2013 Glue itself won't damage the hair or the scalp. Traction alopecia is only a problem when the hair is being pulled for prolonged periods of time, e.g. corn row plaiting, hairpiece attachment with clips or the old-fashioned 'weave'. So whatever hair replacement you choose, you'll still be ok for a HT in the future. My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member london1982 Posted September 6, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 6, 2013 use perfect grade glue all over i get 3/4 weeks... i play sports and go gym no worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHair Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Do you have the link to perfect grade glue? I was told hard bond glue will damage my hairline and other areas. And the damaged areas I won't be able to get hair tranplants there!!! But it sounds like this isn't true. Even if it is damaged I can still get transplants.. Oh and thanks for the reply postdoc and others.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Stoploss587 Posted September 10, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hey london1982, any chance you can put up some pics? I would like to see what kind of style you are going with. I am very active too and worry about sweating. I would just need a partial on the crown. Right now I just use hair makeup which doesn't look so good if I sweat too much or god forbid if it rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
