It's always a compromise. If you want the ultimate in comfort and less potential for detection by touch, an all swiss lace unit is the way to go, but it's not going to last as long as a french lace ba...

I second that. The more hands and eyes you have in the beginning the better. Also, make sure the unit isn't overlapping any of your own hair for the cut-in. If it is too far back when it is cut and y...
