Pics of my very first hair piece / system...what do you think & any advice you have?

Thanks guys for the feedback. I noticed today that when I styled my hair in a combed back position, the edge of the lace was still noticeable. I was hoping the glue would help with this so I am currently styling my hair to cover my hair line, which is kind of a bummer. I will post pics later of my current hair style to get your opinions.

Do you guys style your hair so that you cover the front lace? Or have you perfected it in such a way that you can style it, revealing your hair line without worry about the front lace showing? Any tips on this?

Hi BBTM

That looks pretty good. Where did you get it from in the end?

I actually didn't order, a lady who styled my hair ordered it for me so I'm not sure where she got it from. But I'm planning on ordering my own because she charged me $650 for it which is a lot I hear. Any suggestions on where I should order it? I was thinking Hair Direct maybe?

(1) tape at the back and sides, glue at the hairline for me. The only tape which works for the hairline is 3 mil tape, which is not really tape as such, but glue in tape form. All the other tapes are visible at the hairline.

Ok that's exactly what I did but I noticed the glue forming at the hairline area making it quite noticeable, which is currently forcing to style my hair to cover up my hair line area. What brand of glue do you recommend and do you style your hair to cover your hairline or are you confident in it enough to style your hair back, revealing the hair line?

(2) Don't shampoo it too often - once a week is enough. When you do shampoo it, also use a rich good quality conditioner, but be careful not to get it on the knots. Treat the piece gently when it's wet. If it is lace, think about using knot sealer.

Ok I will keep this in mind, thanks. What conditioner do you recommend? Currently I'm using this "Argan Oil Shampoo" to hopefully promote growth and thickness on the sides and back of my head.
