    I've been a full cap wearer for many years. I was with HD and lost a lot of money as they went bankrupt. I have no temporal hair to show. The key to adding temp hair or even sideburns, is when you're (or whomever) is making the template. That can be tricky. The hair in that area has to be either ordered thinner or thinned by your stylist to create a natural look. My systems are all lace which helps a lot.
    I've ordered 2 full cap systems from Lavivid and was dissapointed. 1.They came way too thick and secondly, I ordered bone straight hair and they came back with a wave which I didn't like.( Similar to the guy in the video) Speaking of which, as everyone can see 110% is too excessive in density and he would look more natural with a graduated hairline. I agree with Jake, to add facial hair and sideburns would improve this guys look.

    • @jimsblueeyes
      @jimsblueeyes 2 года назад +3

      One other thing to add, when creating your template, make sure you add some recession to the hairline. One subscriber eluded to the fact that this guys hairline was too round or straight with an unnatural appearance. With full caps, getting the template right is key. It must have worked though, he got the girl. lol

    With the first model it was the hairline particularly at the top-center that looked unnatural. Yes, you are correct, facial hair and sideburns would help immensely. It looked like he was wearing a cap. Why he didn't have some facial hair as well as the 2nd model, I do not know. It would seem common sense to incorporate that look when trying to blend in the wig.

    Who does make good human hair full-cap wigs? I’m not sure about this one from LaVivid. Maybe if they had options for density, I’d be more inclined to try one.
    Also, I can’t grow temple hair or a good beard. My solution, so far, has been to go with Belle Madame men’s wigs. They have a lighter density and, for me, they fit well. Some of the styles have temple-to-temple lace fronts, fortunately. They’re hard to come by right now, and I have to order mine from the UK (I’m in the US). They have a couple of HH styles, but I’d like to find alternatives, if at all possible.

    I have a full cap that is excellent, I have worn full caps for about 8 years but my most recent is the best anti was a stock unit. I am 67 so it is white to match my facial hair. Why is this one so good? It is a lace front from ear to ear and is a lower density unit and best of all it is easy to apply with no need for glue or tape ,but I use some tape. I get hair compliments from strangers and those who know me. If you are interested I can send pics. Yes it is pricey.

    This is a great video. The problem with full-cap wigs is finding a reputable company that makes wigs that don't look like halloween costumes. Truth in advertising is a huge problem with this industry. William Shatner has the most real-looking wig I've seen but I have no idea where he gets them. I live in L.A. and have not been able to find any wig makers in town.

    I agree with you that the lack of temple on full cap wigs often creates a super unrealistic transition. It is for this exact reason that I wear women's short hairstyle wigs. I haven't personally tried it yet but I think the best way to go if you're going to wear full cap is to use a full lace wig that has temples in sideburns and glue/tape to your head. There are tons of resources in the alopecia community addressing this but it is mainly aimed towards feminine hairstyles. The reason I choose to go with a full cap instead of a hair system is that it gives me the flexibility to change my hairstyle often and also go without any cap at all

  • @robertnovoa341
    @robertnovoa341 4 месяца назад

    But with the full cap_ without any doubt at all, and if you want to be honest it looks like the people are wearing wigs especially when you look at the foreheads, maybe it has to do with the density like you say 😮

  • @klavishavideos
    @klavishavideos 3 года назад +2

    Jake, your comment about adding lace at the sides sounds very reasonable. If lace at the sides of these systems were added and extended to fall in front of the ears and even a bit further down, and the hair there was kept fairly thin, it might work better for men. As for the density issue, I agree with what you have said in many of your videos that most of us, male and female, from a European background look better in medium-light or light density. (We women have it easier because society accepts women in huge piles of styled hair.)

    Hello Jake it's mark I comment on your shaving head video which I went through I recently found HIM systems for men full cap wigs. I'm thinking about trying one. Are you miswearing my hair piece? I am very confident as a Ballman I walk around a little cocky about it when I 1st did it at the gym. Is very liberating like you said and winning your videos? It's confidence but but I'm thinking of going back to here. I'm getting back into shape now I'm 60 years old. I do look young I take care of myself but like you said it's so much expense with the hair systems. I was very good at them like you are Edwin said they were always undetectable but. They expense as they got older I tried to stretch them out and as the hair breaks and certain angles of your movement with the light you can see right? Through on the broken hairs and especially when you touch your head in the system and you can feel these little prickly things when the broken hair knots very. Depressing in a course it expenses and like yourself. I live in Fresno so I had to drive all the way to San Francisco to get you know. The good work I had an Asian stylist Jim and he was great. But I'm gonna try these out but like you said it's thatside. Then the template and the banks. Excuse me decide Burns but too what I noticed? Is my friend's We're commenting they did some reading and research that they're not actually sized well for men with big heads and coming around the ears and the sideburn. Areas don't fit remember when I 1st started experimenting when I was young still a teenager. I went to a wig shop and bought a wig and they stole it and I walked out in. You know that feeling? When you're walking to the car and everybody's looking at you on the laughing pointing. Oh my God hes got a wig on look at that I don't know I. Thank you for what you do. I wish the technology was around back in the day and I had somebody like you out there to help guide me. I did it all on my own. I called William Shatner's people but Reynolds asking them but most of them had people that made them for them. Their own people but like I said I found ground powers and then master touch in San Francisco. Thank you again for so much for what you do. You're so amazing as soon as I get things set up right? I'll get hooked up on your Patriot and send you what I can every month. You do great work admire your courage your strength. You're a good man my god bless you Thank you mark barbano.

Of course theyre finest lace and only worn once or twice then thrown, but they look completely undetectable. 2nd dude trying to recapture the early 2000s. I think full caps look kinda fake, always too long and full, overcompensating, but as usual most normal people wont notice.
