Hair replacement systems custom-made anddelivered to your door. 100% guaranteed!
With much trepadation I have ordered a full lace system. I am a female alopecia sufferer and heretofore, have had systems with some poly in the perimeter. However, it is pretty hot where I live and I am looking for more of a lightweight system.
I wonder are there other women who have used a full lace system, and could give me information on what to expect as far as durability are concerned. I am a little afraid will will get a month out of it and be ordering again.
I was wondering about the same thing! Please check out the reply I got from HD: http://community.hairdirect.com/forums/1664/showpost.aspx
For the first time in my life, I'm not alone in this...
I am having one made as we speak so I guess I will see. I think the post you referred me to is from the lady that I work with at HD. She is very nice and she says she had done a full cap, full lace one for someone, but for confidentiality reasons, I was unable to contact her. I notice that the men can do what they call a "disposable" hair piece out of lace and they have to have one made every month which is kind of frightening.
If the lace is that much better, I may do that since I live in a very hot climate.
SRS,
I think men may be able to use the full lace systems because as a general rule they aren't asking for the heavier density and length that women are probably going to be asking for. But then I am just guessing. Hey guys any in put on the subject?

An all mono #0.12 is a good, strong, lace alternative as it is a woven and welded nylon mesh similar to lace. It comes in many colors and can be used at the edge. Bonding can be done with strong tapes like the ProFlex (awesome tape!) or glues such as UltraHold.
The hairs can be knotted much more tightly and wont shed as easily as lace vented hairs will. This material can handle the weight and length of womens hair all wet too no problem.
"......is it on straight?......."
Hi Cynthin! Just to clarify things, HD08 is not what is described. HD08 has poly perimeter which looks unnatural compared to lace perimeter.
My hairpiece base is not one of the bases featured on this webside- I thought of it myself and HD created it just the way I asked! My hairpiece has lace around the perimeter (1") and 1" of poly behind the lace. The rest (main base) is mono. You are right on the durability factor of HD08 though: a poly perimeter hairpiece should last for many months!
Bald & Beautiful,
Wow, thanks so much for the quick reply. I plan to place my order this morning.
Newbie and Dennynky:
I am very happy with my system. It gives me an undetectible hairline, and durability. I only have to be very careful with the 1" lace material around the perimeter. The rest is very solid.
I've been wearing it for 2 months now and there are minimal signs of damage. I'm extra careful with handling it though. It's my first HD unit, so I can't tell how long it will eventually last, but so far, so good.
I use Ultra Hold for the front and sides. For the back I have 2 options: (a) If i'm really lazy, I put tape on the poly perimeter, and, because the hair is long, one cannot tell that my back hairline is further up than it's supposed to be. The bad thing about this is that I can't put my hair up in a ponytail. (b) The other option, which i'm still working on in order to perfect it, is using UH at the back at well. That's the best way to go, for me at least.
Hey, B&B. Thanks so much for the timely response. I'm on my first set of systems from HD and mine just has the thin poly around the back and sides up to the ear. I am extremely careful with my edges, but I think I could be a little less so with the type that you describe.
I think I will try your 'creation' next time.
