This looks interesting from the company's  info the caps are breathable  so that combined with human hair could be quite workable
If yet to find out how long the caps can be worn for before changing  etc

I personally did this for a year. It turns into a disgusting festering mess underneath with no way to keep it clean.  Never again

Could you explain what happened for you?...I am just being curious/nosey so understand if you would rather not

Hi Elizabeth. No problem. What happens, is they glue that dead squirrel down on your head with a waterproof type glue. Now....if you have any hair left on your head....you wont after a period because your scalp and the follicles can't breath or die from being pulled out by the roots and suffocated in glue. So you effectively kill off whatever's left on your head piecemeal 1/4 inch around at a time. The glue strip you see is placed to cover the fringe of where most of your hair starts on the horseshoe. This is done so when it quits sticking to your flesh, it still hangs on to the hair. What a damned mess! This is why you have to go in every 4-6 weeks to have it removed and put back on.   It gets loose and pulls on your hair as it grows out leaving your scalp inflamed, itchy and sore. An incredibly frustrating and unpleasant feeling. It also begins to look like what it is, sometime before you go in for maintenance. In essence, a hairpiece that doesn't match your hair. Now I imagine if you have the money and wanted to go in for weekly maintenance, this could mitigate some of the problems. That would make it about a 500.00 a month proposition. Add to that that I would suggest the piece itself would need a replacement every 90 days. No idea what that would cost now.....10 years ago? 500.00 dollars. Add to all this that you can't wash underneath it. So it starts to get oily and greasy and your scalp develops sores much like acne. It will take on a smell I don't really care for, even if you're fastidious. It is, in essence, a wig, that you simply can't remove. No win here...none. Do I sound adamant? If I can save you women the horror, money and sadness then I've accomplished my mission. Lisa

Thank you Jentay, as someone with mpb I have been looking for alternatives.  I'm considering transplants, but am unsure how I will proceed. 

Omg....... thanks for sharing that ......yes you certainly have helped  thank you

Thankyou for explaining what they do. I can imagine the type of sores you are talking about and the mess of the hair growing out....and so on and so on... I saw a similar product here in Australia before deciding on my implants. Apart from 2-3 weeks of mild discomfort they are easily the best solution for those of us who have a thing about wigs like me.

I had tried the hair system as well  and totally agree Elizabeth , the glue is horrible but worst for me was the pinching and pulling on my own hair to make sure its tight on the scalp

Well looks like I've found what would be almost perfect  in the wig dept vacuum gripper wigs human hair
No glue no steps or tape feel the rain on your scalp  and  the breeze

Looks nice! Hope they hold up well. 1700 -2600 dollars a piece is out of my price range, but they look pretty neat if you can afford to go that way.

Er oops  I meant this

Yes..... but with a head like  mine it's a must..... If I had a nice femme head shake I would go bald or tattoo
but also  not... $1600... that's a relief  I was expecting about 3k.....

I don't think the shape of your head is masculine. Nice round girl head...lol! Given the length of the hair you have in your avatar, I suspect that 1600 price is right around what you'd pay. You must update us if you get one and give us a review, Markie. It'd be nice to know someone that lives with one and find out what it's like day to day. That's always the true test.

Thanks Jessica 😊
Yes I will do that for sure.... I'm really hoping  that they live up to the advertising.... be fantastic , have to decide whether  to get long hair or shorter so I can get extensions  put on it perhaps
