When I first opened the box, I wondered where my templates were, since I requested they be returned. I found them in there 5 minutes later. It all was there. I was slow and careful.
I see how they shape it: they cut and overlap parts to get the curvature, but the overlap is further back. I put the lace against my finger, and it disappeared well.
At first I thought the color was too dark, but when I held it to my head and looked in the mirror, I saw that it was exact, or at most 1/3 shade darker. I can't tell. At worst I have more time before I have to dye it again.
At first I could not tell where the excess was, and the piece began, and was not sure if they even matched my shape. But then I looked from underneath and finally recognized the shape. They matched it alright.
Looking at individual hairs suspended in mid air is very difficult to understand. It is hard to know what I'm looking at. I have not yet put it on, and it looks so thin. I'm sure it will be thicker than my grafts by at least 20%, but I'll be amazed if it matches my other hair. I've read many times that you should not judge the thickness until you put it on your head, when it looks a lot thicker then. But in the worst case, no one will know I'm wearing if my density has not changed.
The hair is 3 inches long, and curly. I'm going to try cutting it down to 2 inches before putting it on my head so it does not get tangled.
It also lays very flat. I asked for forwards vent, but this is very flat. I hope that does not give me away. Maybe next time I'll ask for spiky.
The hair looks brand new. Just as healthy as my hair. The caliper looks good too.
I'm trying to count the knots on each hexagon to make sure it is 3 each, but it is so hard to see with my eyes. I need glasses. The knots are bleached, but are close to skin darkness.
This definitely is an improvement over being bald, but I just don't know how undetectable it would be to a woman playing with hair. Worst case I just shave my head again.
