full topper from the start, iv had skin (poly),sfsl lace hairlines,
I don't like the wall of hair you get from skin hairlines the uniformity of the hairs, so I went for a sfsl hairline and my one lady salon yet again ordered lace middle which I didn't want, a pain to clean.

that's the trade of or balancing act with lace tougher to clean but looks better more realistic than poly.
I wear my front semi exposed but pull some hairs down to hide the hairline
id never do a cut in my self, leave that to Sonia my one lady salon
pretty cheap @ £240.00 total for a system + cut in bond
