Alright, so I'm at a salon today getting my latest full cap cut in by a rock star stylist I know. We agreed upon a general style and he begins roughing in the cut on a styro head to make it a bit easier for me to attach. He had another lady he was doing a color on so he left me to attach. He came back and the hair started flying. He cut the majority of the piece with a razor, he was using some crazy techniques and the piece was looking phenomenal.

So he gets to the point where he is going to start tapering the hair on the sides, starting about 1/2" right above the ear. He gets into the left side and after a minute or two stands back looking at the piece, and points out that the hair above the left ear toward the front is ventilated UP when the rest of the piece is ventilated down/forward (correctly).

We discussed it a bit and he told me that it would be impossible to go any shorter in that area. This poses a problem since I HAVE to go a lot shorter in that area to get a cut that works for my head and face.

It's already sticking out a lot. He said we could use a relaxer to redirect the hair, but I'm hesitant to do any more processing for fear of having a bald spot there within a month.

Anyone have any experience with relaxer on hairpiece hair? Debbie?

I have three other units ready to be cut in so it COULD go back to get fixed. Might be best to do that and not chance it.....

What do you think?
