what you have is a track hard bond, the piece is attached to your growing hair, ive had this myself years ago.
it loosens up at about two weeks as the under hair grows. french with poly sides and back is a good combo,and shaving that inch or so (track) area then taping it and or gluing is good, but keep in mind you may get (loose) after a week or so, because you are now attching to bare scalp, and the sweat and oil may break the hold, depending on how much you sweat, and how oily your scalp is, keep checking on the forum, im sure some others
will help out also, t1g
