I have used Halloween wigs before and it was fine. Just make sure it isn’t too tight.

Man, I wish I could get a 3 week hold. 1 and a 1/2 weeks tops here. I reattach weekly since my skin is so oily.

Yeah, I spoke to the Salon owner. He said that he thinks some of the older, poorly constructed inventory is still circulating his warehouse. He was very cool about the return (like he was the first time I had an issue). He let me check out a bunch of his newer medium density French lace units...

Or you can ask for more specifics lol. Anyhow, I have noticed a decrease in the quality of units at my salon. I just wanted to know if others had noticed similar issues.

This is my second crap unit out of 3. Learn how read lol.

I have gotten a second French lace system which claims to have 100% density (more like 60%) and pluggy knots. I never had this problem before. Fortunately, the salon I go to will let me return it, but I’m convinced they are getting S$&t units. Anybody else noticing a decrease in quality?

I used an old unit that had been in a box for several years. It was fine. It was cleaned, dried and placed in a box before I had stored it.

I had a cut-in today. No joke, my “old” unit has more density than the new one. Fortunately, the salon owner didn’t charge me. Let’s hope the replacement will be better. How is the density with the thicker poly units? I have thick bio-hair, so I actually don’t need to have my units thinned out.

I use that. Great stuff!

Like I said, it’s do-able. I just wouldn’t want my first unit to have an exposed hairline. Hell, even 4 years into rocking my man-weave, I still opt for a partial fringe. But I say go for it if you think you can do it.

I wouldn’t recommend it, but it’s do-able. Curtis from MyHairExperience does it, but uses a different hair product.

You can easily transition from that point. My hair was at a similar stage before I made the jump. I recommend getting a short cut (3 inches back, 2 front) and not exposing your hairline. Most likely, you’ll get compliments about how your hair looks a lot better without styling product.

I couldn’t agree more.

I would totally do this if I had a good hairline. However, since I will one day shave my head, when I quit the office life, I don’t want any transplant scars. The FUE dots are even pretty noticeable (in my opinion).

Check out myhairexperience on YouTube. Curtis has a goldmine of informative videos. They helped me a lot! Noah, a member here, helped me a lot, as well.
