How to cut the base of your hair system at home 

I do

Rick Douglas I have a red coat on in the pay pal pic

Hi there, this is an ultra thin skin system. Rick attaches the system to the styrofoam by pinning the parts of the poly that he will be cutting off. When cutting the actual hair, our stylists at the salon like to attach a thin skin system to the mannequin using a bit of tape to make sure it is secure, then just remove that tape with solvent when they are done.

@@Superhairpieces so by taping the unit to the mannequin while cutting and then removing the tape will not ruin the base?

@@waynedavid259 As long as its done correctly (using hairpiece tape and solvent) it won't ruin the base

I went back and looked at the video and Rick actually puts the unit back on the manikin and cuts it himself. Did he tape it when he put it back on the manikin to cut?

I use push pins around the edge without piercing the unit

Hi there! I have 60% grey. Have a great one and thanks.

Hi there, you can take a look to Rick's video attaching the hair system ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H4h5FWI7DDE.html He usually uses Ultra Hold glue, and keep it on around 1 week, even though the adhesive can hold up to 3 weeks.

Hi, I use Walker ultra hold adhesive. Re install every Thursday like clockwork. Takes me ten minutes at the most. I like the feel,of a fresh attachment.

Thanks buddy

Hd111!

@@BenBarnett-m5b Hi there, as we know, Rick always go with scalp protector then apply the ultra hold glue

It shouldn't even be an option, they should just cut it off automatically straight from the factory, for free. Why would anyone want that excess anyway?

Lol. It’s a straight razor that I shave with. An exacto knife, I’ve been told, will work better. Thanks buddy

This is the HD111 in color #3 with 60% grey. The unit has a density of 95%

While we can't speak for Rick, our suggestion would be to create the template of your head with the contour of hairline you would like to have. You can use a white marking pencil or something similar to mark onto your head where you would like the hairline to be and what shape you want it, then create your template to match. Then when you are cutting the hair system, all you have to do is follow the template!

Nope. That's fake hair

I think you need to turn the template inside out : to match the hair system because it's upside down if that makes sense.. excellent bloke 👏

Hi there, while we can't answer for Rick, we can certainly offer our own expertise. 2 important questions before we can suggest anything: What color is the hair, and what color is it fading to? And is the hair all human hair, or do you have synthetic in there as well?

@@Superhairpieces original color is 1750, and it has turned more to a lighter brown. Human hair with the gray being synthetic. Unit is about 9 months old and density looks great, just the color has lightened. Don’t want to dye but was hoping there was a type of rinse to help darken it some. Thanks.

@@DavidJohnson-yc6hd We have a conditioner made for that color (dark ash blonde) that is meant to help restore the hair's color once it has started fading. You can see it here www.superhairpieces.com/back2natural-dark-natural-ash-blonde-color-conditioner/ it may be able to help bring you back to the sahde you want

I have colored the system before and it went ok. I get 60 % grey Sonora not really a problem for me.

​@rickdouglas5830 I'm not sure if you'll read this. I hope so. I'd say we are about the same age. You're a big inspiration to me. I like your wit along with your tutorials. I have a big beard because I have so little hair on my head. At 61, I was okay with the hairless head and big beard look. My son is 22 and lost his hair at 18. His mother wants him to have a transplant, however, he has very thin hair on the sides. I'm encouraging him to try a unit. I believe it would boost his confidence. His mother nays it and he will not do it. So I'm thinking if I try a unit and look 1/2 as good as you do he might take my lead. I'll try almost anything and most of the time it good. I have mastered coloring my beard and no one knows. (At least I don't think they know) 🤔. I'm good with cutting the front and a round the unit. However, cutting a style for the 1st time I wouldn't do. I'm sending my 18 year old daughter to beauty school so she can help men like us get our looks and confidence back. I told her she can make bank when the word gets out. Most men wouldn't trust themselves to cut a unit and install for the 1st time. So more men would probably try it out if they had help without the high cost of a Bosley. If I go this route I would like to make videos for men our age. Can you do a video concerating on the name of the system,color,% of thickness,how long does your system last, etc. You may have done a video on this topic and I might of missed it. Keep making videos I enjoy watching them. Much luck. 👊

@@TheMadoWhite Hi! It’s HD111

@@Superhairpieces that’s the one I got but the hair like isn’t on point with the piece I received. The front hairs point forward and has caused me issues trying to pull the hair backwards. Thanks!

Hey buddy, I find just shampooing it does it for me. Hope you got r done bro. Thanks

I don't have one yet. Thought shampoos where harmful. What do you use? Mild brand?

@@johnhayes6414 Superhairpieces have a great shampoo and conditioner. I would order from them buddy.

Thanks. I am 4 hours away from Toronto where they have an office. Thinking of going there. Too confusing a bit on ordering. I've researched alot

Hi there, we would recommend doing an online consultation with one of our hair system experts to help you determine the right color and density for you. You can book one here www.superhairpieces.com/online-professional-hair-consultant-for-hairpieces/ Otherwise, ordering a color ring is the best way to determine a color match www.superhairpieces.com/mens-color-ring/

That’s awesome hope it works well for ya!

It depends on what you want out of your glue. If you are just looking for the longest hold time, the Walker's Ultra Hold is stronger than the ghost bond, but only by a little bit

I like walker best

​@@rickdouglas5830 hello... I heard u like more ghost bond platinum now.... Thks

@@aprilmax9486 hi no it’s still Walker hard bond for me. Peace

@@davephillips6456 No worries! We have professional to help you and you can always give us a DM on all our social media platforms or email us via sales@superhairpieces.com

Getting the base cut prior to the system shipping adds extra time to the shipping process. Since Rick is confident in doing his own base cuts, he doesn't need to wait the extra time :)

That’s awesome man, THANKS

Thanks so much. That’s awesome

¡Hola Jonathan! Vamos a añadir subtitlos muy pronto, así que estate atento 😊

@@Superhairpieces Thanks !!!
