They gave me mono filament with poly sides. You couldn't expose the hair line. The only thing I will say is the attachment lasted for 4 weeks. A truly bad experience, but at the time I thought Clubs and salons were my only options. I never knew you could buy hair online. They keep you ignorant, and when they would detach, the stylist would grab the piece and run out of the room, they never wanted you to see the base. I have a cousin who goes to a salon, and he pays $2400 a year for 2 pieces that look like a dead rat on his head. He wouldn't ever order online, he likes the hand holding, which is ridiculous, because his wife is a hair dresser!

Im supprised your cousin is still going. Maybe he doesnt trust his own skills...

Dont beat yourself up, you made the change and lets be honest these sales men are good at what they do (bull****ing you)!

I visited a "club" just to see what they offer and to see a real life system and they used poly bases but didnt give me any specs. I luckily found a salon that will do the cut in for me even though Im not buying one of their systems but if it came down to it I would phone round normal salons and just ask them if they could do it before I paid through my nose!
