Are monofilament based as much undetectable as swiss lace ones?If it's monofilament based, and they add hair, and dye when it starts to fade, potentially. If it's French Lace, and they don't add hair or dye when faded, yes, they are lying to you.

I live in India and the patch is priced between 10k to 18k inr ($130 to $230) only. So you can guess.
If India has manufacturing hubs for HS them they might be adding hair.
Notwithstanding,Can it last at least 10 month tho? It's little on high density side.
TheLoneWigMaker, in your experience how long are the swiss lace systems lasting before they have to be replaced or repaired to add hair.. i am really struggling to get a system to last more then 3months MAX ... and that is not a common occurance, i am normally changing my swiss lace every 2.5months max at the momentI always recommend newbies start with French lace. I've done just fine with a french lace front, including physical encounters and whatnot. It's pretty invisible, especially if you style your hair to be "semi-exposed" (not slicked back).
Care needs to be practiced with lace. Be very careful when using combs, that the teeth don't get close to the lace and snag. And when you remove the unit, you don't put too much force on the lace when pulling.
Once you learn how to handle the unit with care, then Swiss is a nice little upgrade. I've been working with Hugo Royer Swiss lace in 30 denier when ventilating and I'm honestly pretty impressed how much force I can use to knot hairs without the lace hole breaking, given the lightness of the material.
Agreed, reason why I was suggesting a mix of mono base, with lace front, if the poster wants longevity but with an undetectable hairline.No, monofilament is much coarser than French or Swiss lace - it is like a mesh made of fishing line.
Hairpieces with a monofilament base are usually very dense, so that the base cannot be seen, and the hairline also has to be concealed. Sometimes they have "underventing", which is where some hair is tied to the underside of the base near the hairline. That hair is intended to stick out from under the base at the hairline and be combed up, in order to hide the edge of the base. Needless to say, it is not a natural-looking result. Mono bases and underventing are both techniques from the hairpieces of the 1960's and '70's, although they still seem to be quite popular in India. But if you want a natural looking system, don't go with this.

Thanks. Hope one day to repair my own. I have this "hybrid" piece which i realy like color, curl and look, which I hope to change the frontal part. I will start another post on the subject not to mix topics to much here.2.5 to 3 months sounds about right. In my experience, the hair quality degrades at about the same rate that the unit sheds and the hairline frays.
Many people try to do a best-of-both-worlds, where they get a French lace base but with a small front hairline that is Swiss lace. The problem with this is that the hairline is the weakest link. Once that's gone, the rest of the piece really isn't worth anything. That is, unless you can get someone to refurbish the front with a new one.
It really is a trade-off between durability and detectability. The best compromise is all French lace. If you take good care of it, 4-5 months is probably reasonable, on average.
@Admin It seems that this guys has been deployed here by lordhair and openly promotes them in every post.Hi!
For affordable hair systems, I recommend Lordhair. Their stock hairpieces for men start onwards $149. This is the cheapest hair system I have come across online if you want something with decent quality. I came across this manufacturer through my colleague who is using hair systems from the age of 27.

I also like hair systems from RichFeel but think they are a bit pricey and didn't fit my hair goals. Do your own research too before buying!

How long can a french lace piece last?
Good news is that my salon adds hair to the pieces.If you know how to handle lace bases with care, the hair is always the bottleneck in durability. Factory hair begins already so damaged, it's a constant battle to keep it moisturized. After about 3 months, you will start to notice shedding in the front that will start to decrease its value vs a new piece. Unless you refurbish it with new hair or joining a whole new front.
So I would say regardless of lace quality, your unit will last 3-4 months under normal conditions and care.

I'm thinking of buying this one, any advice? ( I use my original hairline.)
Out of all sellers you mentioned, I can only afford northwest lace (lol) and they can supply me custom piece for the reasons you mentioned.I don't know that site, but my policy is you have to vet the product by reading through their vibrant company forum of people who actively wear their product, or have someone credible vouch for their quality.
While not without issue, I've used northwestlace.com and they have a large forum. @BaldBearded represents oneheadhair solutions. I'm pretty sure hairdirect.com has acceptable pieces. And normally I would only recommend custom orders, right now that's not possible due to the coronavirus lockdowns.

I guess it is better I wait. I'm wearing a monofilament system rn but I'm safe since colleges are off here due to Corona virus outbreak.
Can I get 7 months with swiss lace if I get hair added? ( I will be using my own hairline.)
Weird. I thought I will be able to get 7 months with high density all-french lace. Noah said he gets good 5 months with all swiss lace so I thought 7 months with french lace was possible.I wouldn't think so. Adding hair arbitrarily throughout is hard because you can't quickly see the holes that are missing hair and easily ventilate them in. It would take too much time. The best way to refurbish the piece is to cut off the front and join in a brand new lace and ventilate like new.
The front is the first place where shedding will be noticeable, but it will shed all over and by month 5 (mayybe month 6 if you don't care as much) it just won't look right anymore.
