It sounds very good that they are going to give you the tape attachment
first because tape is much easier to remove than glue.
They are both adhesives, however glue lasts much longer. So once you
get the new hair to look as natural as you want, then you can get it attached
with the glue method, and it will stay attached for 4-5 weeks.
It is normal for you to be nervous, all of my new clients are. Depending
on how thin
their hair was when they decided to replace it, made some of
their friends and associated notice. There will always be someone
that will notice, and
may make a smart remark. But don't be too concious of their opinion,
and let that govern your decision. Before long, they will forget all about
it.
Many people go through the same thing, but are happy they made the
change. It will take you a few weeks to get used to your new look.
Even a
little more hair feels like too much hair because you are used to looking
at yourself with thinner hair. I wish I could work with you personally
to insure
that you will get the most natural look, but since our distance limits
us, just be sure to tell the stylist that you need the new hair to be as
thin
as possible so it looks quite similar to your natural hair, only slightly
fuller.
I wish you good luck and please send me a photo of yourself both before
and after if you will. Maybe I can give you some advice.
Thanks,
Roxanne
Thank you for your photo, you are quite a good looking man! Anyway,
I know that it is a little scary to go ahead with the process, but
your idea is very good about growing your beard. That will make
some people notice yourchanged appearence, yet not realize what exactly
it is. As
far as the market being weak in the hair replacement business, there
will always be some salons that have trouble staying alive, and the
established salons will
always survive because of the steady and loyal clients. I went
to New Image for some of my training in Florida. If you need anything
in the future and
have trouble getting it, I can get it for you no problem. Also
don't worry about maintaining it yourself for I can advise you on that
also and provide the products necessary for you to use, including the
adhesives, adhesive removers, shampoo, color refresher, conditioner, even
your
next hair replacement. So let me know how you make out and I will look
forward to seeing you in your new hair style.
Do you travel often? Your job sounds interesting, I was
in Amsterdam in 1989, it was beautiful. So take care, and thanks
for the
offer to return the favor, someday I may need help from you. You never
know.
Sincerely,
Roxanne
Thank you for posting that message in the bald truth. It was kind
of you to do that. As far as the people noticing your new look, if
they ask specifically about your hair, you can just tell them that
you found a new hairdresser, and leave it at that. They may not realize
that you did something to your hair with the new beard you will be
wearing. There may be a few that really notice that it is fuller,
and you may
want to confide in them. It is up to you. Most of the time
when someone tells a friend that they are very close to that friend
helps them to make sure
it always looks natural. As far as my business, you can make
a templete the same way you had one made at the salon. If you check
my website www.hair-replace.com you will find a page that shows
you how to do it. Then I can make your next hair replacement and
send you the necessary products to attach and care for it. I will be looking
forward to seeing a photo of you with your new look. Good luck and
I will speak to you soon. You seem like a very
nice man and I enjoy our chats. Take care,
Sincerely,
Roxanne
Thank you for posting the kind words in the Bald Truth, it is
helpful forothers to read such positive responses from others I have
communicated with.As far as noticing others with most likely "bad hair
systems" Yes there are a few folks who walk around wearing systems that
are not
right for them. I have found that often the wearer makes that
decision not to care how they look. I feel that you are conscientious
enough to notice
if the color doesn't match up or if the system is too full or unnatural
looking for you.I feel that you have a sense of style and will look very
handsome with more hair. And yes, there will be a difference
in how you feel with more hair.Once you allow yourself to get used to it
and make it part
of your lifestyle, you will feel a renewed confidence in your appearance.
A confident man always becomes more successful in both his
love life and career.I have seen many people transformed after correcting
something that was bothering them. I have many many clients who feel
the same
way as you do and are happy for years and years after making that change.
So good luck ,
I can't wait to see your new look.
Most sincerely,
Roxanne
Good for you! I'm glad you took the plunge. Don't worry
too much about the maintenance of your new hair because it will probably
stay
nice and healthy looking for a long time as long as you use the products
you were given. If you send me the names of the products I will try
to locate
them and I can send you larger sizes when you need more. That
may save you some time and money. I'm glad to hear that no one really noticed
your new
hair, with your new beard. I am looking forward to seeing your newest
photos.
Take care,
Rox
