I feel like with today's technology we should be able to easily create a hair that looks and feels EXACTLY like human hair, but that also doesn't dry out, die, and lose it's color like the cons of using human remi hair. How far away are we from that point? I mean, for those of you with synthetic gray hair, how do they feel and react?

Wouldn't the lace be a limitation to the life of the piece instead of the hair? Lets say there was perfectly acceptable synthetic hair that lasts forever wouldnt the lace breakdown way before it? I say lets keep using the real thing until they develop a base thats 1 micron thick that lasts forever!

The problem with using real human hair is that it relies on people in poorer countries to continue to cut their hair off and sell it or the religious bandits to continue to reinforce the belief that cutting their hair off and donating it to a temple will please their God. Even though it then gets sold on for profit by business men. What happens when the trend to give away hair or sell it for dirt cheap ends? We are screwed. We need synthetic hair to get more realistic asap.
