Quote:I see a lot of guys in NYC who look like they just plopped this perfect hair piece over a rat's nest ... in other words ....their real hair ....

Hmmm, I style my hairpiece hair to be "messy", but messy in a good way. And I keep my natural hair a lot shorter so that it can't really be messy. Messy on top and shorter on the sides looks pretty reasonable, if you ask me.

Ironically, after experimenting with some dye mixtures yesterday, I have finally managed to get a perfect color and texture match between my hairpiece hair and my natural hair (I think the shinyness of the remy hair also has lessened over two months of use), so in theory I don't have to mask the differences with styling products. But now I have absolutely no idea how to get the hairpiece hair to behave itself without the styling products.... And as my natural hair and the hairpiece hair respond to styling products differently, I still end up with the same issue.

A newbie's work is never done!
