Categories would be good and make it easier for newbies to find information. Maybe add "Glues and tapes", "Lace bases", "Skin bases", "Latest developments".

Post: Re: does hair on thin skin lay flatter then on SFS...

Yes it does lay flatter, doesn't tangle as much either, and it stays glued down longer and is easier to clean up. You may need to spike it up a bit with some product. I'm currently wearing a 65% densi...

Post: Re: Thin back hair

If you're going to that extent you may want to consider a 3/4 or full cap - much more secure and all the same consistency. BA had Debbie do some tattooing which he says helps resolve the problem

I got five months from one (iLace) usually around 4 months for 64/SFS, maybe less for poly types. The main problem I find is the hair dries out without the natural oils that real hair has, despite usi...

This has come up several times before. Do a search in the old fourm under 'Melbourne' - you should find two or three options available.

I can't imagine Advanced doing it cheaply. You can always send it over to Debbie with a picture of the style you want, about three weeks turnaround time.

Also agree with keeping the sideburns short for the exact reasons you state. Longer they are the more fake they appear. Longer hair helps but only to a certain extent.
