Any real benefit on the frontline with swiss lace?

[guy9102]

Hi guys, I been using a french lace unit in color 1b, but still not comfortable with the frontline showing.
I've read swiss lace is the most undetectable but i been using french lace and as soon i attach it it becomes invisible to me.
For me the problem are the knots, that although they're bleached theyre noticeable. So i was wondering if moving to swiss lace would make any difference?

I always order my full caps all french lace1B with a 2 inch Swiss lace blond front then dye it 1B myself. Result is no visible knots at the hairline and Swiis is far less detectable even to touch.

Do you know any tutorial on YouTube on how to do this?

If it is the knots that are the problem, then switching to Swiss lace will not help. The choice is either bleaching the knots better yourself, or the reverse - getting a blond front section and dyeing it to match your biohair, as Robrover suggests. If you have very dark hair, Robrover's solution gives a better result, but I am not sure how easy it will be to get a system with a blond front strip in the current disrupted market conditions.

What colour is your biohair?

This kind of question is SO much easier with photos. You don't have to show your face, but it certainly would help to see the hairline to get a good idea of your situation.

As for Robrover's post above, I do something very similar but with a UTS system. The hairline becomes much more realistic this way.

Yes custom blond fronts are not easy to get made right now. Another quick less permanent fix for hairline knots is to dab them from the top with one of Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Effaceur stick. They come in various shades of skin tones and one stick lasts for ages.

I have had both, and found no benefit, and this was with an exposed hairline.

Dying a blonde front isn't easy. You have to avoid staining and ruining the lace while at the same time getting close enough to the lace that you won't be left with little blonde roots sticking up (which might look worse than some semi-bleached knots).

You can coat the lace in got 2 b glued to keep the dye off the base and knots, and use a razor cleaning brush to get in close to the lace with relative ease. Discussed this in more detail in a recent thread.
