Every piece, save for my all-poly, has been cut by someone else prior to my wearing it.
That's to say my first piece, appropriated & installed at a salon, was cut to a certain specification with NO additional lace hanging off of the edge of the hair line. And when I ordered from Lord, I'd opt for the factory to cut my pieces' bases to that specification. They'd arrive w hair at the very edge of the hairline, with no excess lace to be cut.
The problem with that is, I was never able to apply my tape to the VERY EDGE OF THE HAIRLINE, as it would doubtless get stuck to the unit's hair.
Now, with excess lace, I can apply right at the hairline - as the excess provides new room for the tape to adhere to.
The effect this has on my wearing has been absolutely game-changing in nature.
The unit FITS & LOOKS _SO MUCH MORE REALISTIC_ than my previous lace pieces.
..
(I now see the need for no-shine tape; before, my wall of hair would cover any glossiness).
Also, Lord Hair does supply wigs with fairly realistic hairlines. Clearly, if you elect to have the company cut your unit at the factory to certain dimensions, they cut away at the front of the unit, where the knots are smaller, bleached & possibly (?) fewer in number (making for less dense hair).
Lastly, 8x10 fits me much, much more snuggly than 6.5x7.5 - an arbitrary number selected by the woman who did my first piece: both b**ch & idiot.
I say arbitrary, because I am not fully bald and shave away at my bio thinning bio hair to wear these pieces.
