I can only speak about my own experience. Its hard to make the texture be 100%, but as long as its decent, then I can make it work with using product.

The piece hair strands seem to be too thin, so I generally use a wet look gel and then spray hairspray ontop

I have the opposite problem ... my hair is fine textured, thin strands of hair. Most of the pieces I get have thicker textured hair than my own. Even as the density is usually right, this difference in thickness of the hair strands makes blending challenging sometimes. Product helps, and I usually make it work also.

I should say that I get my pieces thru a salon, and they say they can't control hair texture ... their density scale is also very limited. I know more custom options are available from John and others ... sucks, as I feel kinda trapped right now.

I have blonde hair, and I do believe it is more difficult to blend. I have a former girlfriend who is in the hair/skincare field, and she says w/ blonde hair, you can "see the layers" more easily. I translate this to mean extra challenges w/ the blend point wearing a blonde topper ... makes sense when you think of how light hair reflects light differently than dark hair.

I guess I only know my own experience, but I see a lot of pictures w/ dark toppers, and the blend point seems less noticeable.
