baldingdude Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hi guys! I am a 25 year old guy from Mumbai who is balding since 17. My Hamilton Norwood scale balding pattern is "VI". I used to wear hair systems a few years back but due to many reasons like profuse sweating or hotness, itchy scalp, dry/brittle hair, unnatural hairline, hairline lifting etc. etc. I moved on, stopped using hair systems & kept my head completely shaved. I used around 4-5 hair systems in the duration of almost 2 years which includes monofilament (conventional), fine mesh, Indian as well as lace. But now I want to switch to hair systems again & reason behind it is just that I want to look young & handsome again & live a normal life which guys of my age live, I don't want to dependent on head-wraps or caps 24*7. So, my question is "Does anybody know WHERE WILL I GET A QUALITY HAIR SYSTEM WITH GREAT APPEARANCE & COMFORT (DURABILITY ISN'T A BIG ISSUE), WITH FINEST BASE MATERIAL, QUALITY HEALTHY HAIR WHICH LOOK ALIVE & HAVE LONG LIFE, NATURAL HAIRLINE DESIGN ETC IN INDIA (OR ONLINE)." I don't prefer going to Richfeel, Berkowits & all those salons which will charge you like anything & give you the systems made by local artists / labors. So, please guide me with a little bit of explanation about your experience. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member grincher Posted May 24, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted May 24, 2016 I've been wearing a number of years and even in the last few years things have moved on a lot. Bases are softer and knots more invisible than when I started. There are a few online places you can use, one of which I have been with for a while. If you can cut in locally and maintain at home then the options are many. Let me know if you need a suggestion. I know a member on a different forum buying overseas (instead of his native India) due to lower costs. I was surprised. Is this still the case?

First of all thanks for your reply grincher True that bases are softer & knots are more invisible plus many more things have improved a lot than it was a few years back & yes I can get it cut in plus maintenance as well locally..........I really need your guidance on genuine online sellers, so please share your experience with me. As far as I know, in India it costs more than some online sellers, it depends on whom you are approaching........I had been to a few classy salons which obviously cost you more than local labors / artists who actually carry out the work............btw which forum are you talking about........kindly PM or mail me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member grincher Posted May 25, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2016 It was early 2015 but stuck in my mind as I was surprised. I've used http://www.ukhairsystems.com for my last few systems. Previously Hollywood Lace. I have heard decent things about Farrell apart from the cost which is several thousand dollars.

Regular Member Emptyheaded1976 Posted May 25, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted May 25, 2016 I have been wearing for about 4 years now, during which time I have spent some periods working in India. My impression is that the hair systems that are available in India are not yet of the same quality and undetectability that you can get on-line from the U.S. so I think you would be better to buy your hair on-line and get it cut in in India.

baldingdude Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 It was early 2015 but stuck in my mind as I was surprised. I've used Top Quality & Affordable Hair Systems, Hairpieces, Toupees, Wigs, Hair Replacement Systems - Shipping UK and Worldwide. for my last few systems. Previously Hollywood Lace. I have heard decent things about Farrell apart from the cost which is several thousand dollars. I haven't heard about ukhairsystems yet. Do they sell internationally? I visited their website, & the before - after photos on the homepage looks like have stolen from an Indian seller's website (I have had a hair system from them a few years back) & Why did you quit using Hollywood lace? Can you please elaborate on it. Same here about Farrell. I have also heard the same. Do you know anybody who has used farrel systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reply Emptyheaded1976! Can you please name a few (you can PM me) quality online sellers which you have experienced? What about your current system, can you please tell me where you bought it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
