hmmm, some conflicting information here.
Idk what you're referring to
Maybe the thinner injected bases are more prone to shedding than the thicker ones?
In my experience, no. The thinnest injected skins you will find are around .08mm, which is still pretty thick.
I wear my hair long and down, sometimes in bangs/parting. Would you reccomend a lift injected system for this?
For any style with an exposed crown swirl and a concealed hairline, you're depriving yourself if you wear anything else imo. The problem is I don't know where to get a good one rn. That lavivid one doesn't look the best to me, doesn't have the specs I prefer, i think the part might look pluggy.
I'm seriously considering buying a blonde v looped system and dyeing the hair up to the roots light brown.
This is an absolute must if you wear v loops imo.
Some people have tried some quite clever methods to protect the base from the dye, such as 3d printing a large comb (didn't work though, the comb was too thick), carefully using a q tip to get close to the base, to using hair gel to protect the base (worked really well, just annoying o get all the gel off) and someone wants to try using ice to protect the base.
You can use one of those razor cleaning brushes, it's basically a tiny dollhouse version of a tint brush. For maximum control. I've done very complex ombre dye jobs for very short hair this way, where i have to fit 2 different colors in the bottom inch of the hair closest to the base so that I can cut it down to 2" in the front and the top half of the length will be the light color.
It's tedious but they came out perfect. The hair on this one was delivered in awful condition but still:

I wouldn't worry too much about staining the base tho. It's usually not very noticable on thin skin once the piece is bonded down. Like, certainly try your best not to stain it, but don't freak out if you stain it a little. I'd worry way more about staining lace.
With a v-loop piece your crown is going to be less defined and your part is going to look irregular and broken, most likely. That can look very good and natural, but you're not going to get a perfectly straight, defined part.
