I got 4 coming in in a few weeks and two new ones cut in and one in the box. I'm actually cutting it close!

Like I've said before I get a SOLID 3, could be 3 and a half months and 4-5 would be possible if I really babied it a bit more. But I don't. I use whatever products I want, if the shampoo has sulfates I don't care and if there is alcohol in the gel or spray so what? I'm going to look like a buffoon, get satin pillow cases, mail order sulfite free shampoo and skimp on looks so that the piece lasts another 3 weeks? If they were like $500 a pop, yes I'd be a bit easier. Also going with a heavier lace or some sort of skin would make them last longer but I've gotta have a natural look, showing hairline and have a head that breathes. I will give the new skin a shot just because I try everything once....
