I have thought about the thin skin, but I was under the impression that is was almost trow away, are the results that better than lace? I don't have a problem with lace discoloring, I do have a problem with lace thinning out and developing sort of cowlicks, where that hair wont go where I want it to. Does the thin skin show knots? Does it have a direction? I llike to get a smooth hair style with a crist part, and I can achieve this with a lace unit when the density is even, gets harder when it starts to wear and thin....
