Thank you guys again. Very much appreciated. I hope you guys can help out further as well, but here's a slight update....

Out of the entire 20 family members there, about 4 family members mentioned my hair. All they said were "it's gotten much better" or "wow, you're hair got much thicker!". Some still believe it's from the surgery 3 years ago....my closest cousin noticed about 2 hours later and I just told him that I'm leaving it long and gelling it. He asked if that was all and I said yes.... I know he'll bring it up again because he's bald and hates hair loss as well.

Overall, it looks great. I am happy, but until I master this technique of DIY, then I'll be at ease. I have yet to see a few of my friends, but you're right JRob, I feel much more comfortable now after Thanksgiving.

As far as what was used to attach, she attached it with Ghostbond. It's holding up pretty well for two straight days but I know once I start exercising that it's going to loosen a bit. That's what I'm scared of. I've never detached/retached a hair piece in my life.

One very important thing for you guys to know is that I am wearing a Thin-Skin piece. This isn't lace.... Will I get a longer hold with thin skin compared to lace? Also, what's the best glue I could buy for thin skin that would give me the longest hold? I keep hearing ORWG, but is that a specific brand or is there different types of ORWG?

I also already bought C-22 Solvent, some type of Lace Release alcohol, and QSHI shampoo, QSHI leave-in conditioner, and QSHI hairspray.

If I'm missing anything, please feel free to recommend anything.
