(2) we used silicone to glue the piece to the scalp. When you finally pull it off after 30 days it's like industrial strength waxing. You'll pull all the hair out if you didn't shave it. (3) it adheres better to the scalp alone. (4) the scalp needs to breath through the base of the piece. If there is hair there, it won't be able to breathe and get disgusting quickly.(5) Shatner has never been a candidate for plugs or flaps. He's missing 90% of his hair.Mary Cumminshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14646451750521528095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-50944491624724278382013-08-23T22:46:17.935+02:002013-08-23T22:46:17.935+02:00You are correct.

He also got some from Edward Katz who copied Don Jeffries' product and application method. Shatner lost his hair young. Look at his first roles. Shatner is not a hair transplant candidate because he has such severe hair loss. Only the hair in the very back is his.

(I now believe it is a toup) basically he is wearing what he always has. (from the age of 27-8) a toup.<br /><br />Let me please explain: simply it appears that the toupee he is wearing is called a Micro lite it has an very thin base, and shows a scalpit is widely used in film and stage work, as it looks so good it is even made of the best touplon fibre. (that was no joke as it said that on the website) you can even have it permanantly bonded for an extra £50. I saw this on a uk site, i am sure they have this toup everywhere, and its not even that expensive....£399 plus vat uk price. I could have got it wrong for sure, but it looks interesting.shats real syrupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-51637971843289855482010-11-09T13:34:37.065+01:002010-11-09T13:34:37.065+01:00Yes, this all makes senseI, think the mystery is ...Yes, this all makes senseI, think the mystery is solv-ed, finally!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-90193135477681713092010-11-09T02:46:48.959+01:002010-11-09T02:46:48.959+01:00But who knows - maybe for celebrities like the Sha...But who knows - maybe for celebrities like the Shat, Katz is more flexible in his requirements.TMKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-55894517419904691372010-11-09T02:45:12.016+01:002010-11-09T02:45:12.016+01:00Awesome!

Apparently, one of Katz's major selling points is that you can see the scalp through the toup - this makes the toup look more natural. In order to get this look, everyone who gets a toup from Katz needs to shave his head, or at least the parts of his head that is covered by the toup.<br /><br />Also, the toups are not meant to be taken on and off daily -- it's more like a hair system that's glued on for days at a time.TMKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-66318924963152500412010-11-08T08:11:08.774+01:002010-11-08T08:11:08.774+01:00We'll be looking at "tmk's" dete...We'll be looking at "tmk's" detective work in our next post on Tuesday!

I could tell Katz was wearing a toupee by looking at the hairline on the left side of his head (the viewer's right). However, I don't yet believe Shat wears these pieces all the time. It's tough to believe that katz would make a toup so scraggly and patchy as in some of the pics on this thread.abihsotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-76090924435749604492010-11-08T03:48:51.676+01:002010-11-08T03:48:51.676+01:00Katz is known for his discretion.

Both in where the doctors remove the donor hair, and where they attach it. I bet every doctor has his own style of pattern. If you look at this photo, you can see the patterns in which the transplants went down. It looks like a V shaped hairline was created with a center line running down to the back of the head and another from ear to ear. This created 4 small voids that appear to be filled in with lesser amount of hair follicles.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-3241180604958914022009-12-23T19:11:23.002+01:002009-12-23T19:11:23.002+01:00If you can get past his belly, magnification of th...If you can get past his belly, magnification of this recent side shot of Shatner's head should put this all to rest.<br /><br />http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/22/its-william-shatner/<br /><br />Toup on top with an actual hairline that starts 3 inches below it.

I think that Mr Shatner actually had a 'pubemectomy,' which involves careful redistribution of personal follicles from the nether regions to the scalpal area, where they are woven in and subjected to a rigorous session of jojoba-based conditioning. Should the pubical planting take root, this provides the owner with something that is not a wig but merely a relocated pube patch. It allows said wearer to go on to live a far more confident life, with the only side-effect being an instinctive wariness of scratching his head in polite company.Euan A'Toopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-61974651181719754852009-12-07T22:10:33.867+01:002009-12-07T22:10:33.867+01:00It IS a merkin: "The needs of the heady outwe...It IS a merkin: "The needs of the heady outweigh the needs of the pubes".Keefer Hattonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-45261929187771639212009-12-07T21:42:45.862+01:002009-12-07T21:42:45.862+01:00I remember when Shatner hosted the Miss USA contes...I remember when Shatner hosted the Miss USA contest in March, 2001. A very perceptive lady I knew stated at the time that he wasn't wearing a toupee (and she did acknowledge his horrendous previous toupees). That fits in pretty well with the timeline that's been established on this site. <br />Another reason to suspect plugs is that at the Equestrian Center photos his hair is grey/white. There would be no reason to wear a toup that gray if he wasn't playing a role in a production. It was those photos that finally convinced me he had transplants done. If that is a toup, it is one that is far worse in quality than any he ever wore before or since.RMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-4682912347661314132009-12-07T20:16:16.454+01:002009-12-07T20:16:16.454+01:00That would be so like Shatner to have his pubes tr...That would be so like Shatner to have his pubes transplanted to the top of his head.RMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-25016649600785004682009-12-07T19:55:45.807+01:002009-12-07T19:55:45.807+01:00@Helen Bach.
