About 5 months ago I went to a salon and ordered a Cesare Ragazzi topper.  The stylist made a cast of my head, took a hair sample, and sent it to Italy.  I picked it up last week and had it colored and styled.  I love it! It is unprocessed, virgin, human hair attached to a medical grade base that is matched to your skin tone.  Although you can have it bonded for a month I decided to tape - I'm 2 hrs from the salon and don't want to make that trip monthly.  I've exercised with it - water aerobics and Jazzercise - and it hasn't moved.  It is so comfortable I forget I have it on.  I take it off every 2 days even though I could leave it on longer.  

People have commented that my new color looks great but no one has suggested that it is helper hair. I did tell a couple close friends and they were shocked that it wasn't my hair.  I think that's because the part looks so natural.

This piece should last about 12-18 months and I'll be ready for more gray by that time.  If you get a chance check out the videos on youtube.

disclaimer - I am not a stylist and have no ties to Cesare Ragazzi.  I just love mine so much I wanted to let other people know.

Hello Fanny!

I really appreciate your post. I have had noticeable hair loss for the past 3 years. I am on a lot of drugs, foam, cream, etc for FFA and AA. This is all a source of daily angst. My receding hair is definitely taking a toll on my happiness and well-being. About a year ago, I did purchase a human hair topper that is very nice.  I have worn it only a very few times in FL, where I purchased it. I have not found the courage to wear it in my hometown, around those who know me. I have been considering the CNC and bonding. Thinking that if it’s a true “part of me”, I might better deal with wearing it. The huge downside is the monthly maintenance. Very expensive and no one near me, at home. I would be looking at a minimum 5 1/2 hour round trip monthly. And a lot of money. How has your process been going? Did you just purchase one hairpiece? I know they encourage you to purchase two, to allow for maintenance periods. Can I ask where you purchased and how much it was? I do workout, almost everyday. Does it feel “weird’ on your head? When sleeping/showering?  Did you have to remove bio hair to tape? Have you swam in it? Any regrets at all?  I wish I could find someone near me that is a true expert in all wig types, attachments, etc. I have searched and searched and come up with nothing near Central PA. I SO appreciate your post and would be VERY grateful for additional feedback. Thank you!!
