My latest full cap was made with a french lace base and swiss temples and hairline.

It never would have occurred to me when ordering, but the factory extended the swiss lace in the temples all the way back to behind the ears, and with the cut I have being VERY short directly above the ears, I am having problems.

As we all know swiss lace can fray very easily. What is happening is that the area above the ears is fraying for some reason causing it to lose hair. The hair in this area is little more than stubble, so as soon as it falls out it leaves a hole.

Now I have to dab a little Dermmatch there to cover it up, but it's going to get to the point where I will have to do surgery. This is good in a way because it will allow me to get it some video footage of a fairly complex base repair, but i just thought i would give this warning to anyone looking to do a short style.

Actually, after experimenting with swiss lace on my current units, I think from now on I will be ordering 100% French lace. Maybe swiss at the hairline, but to be honest french is easier to work with, more durable, and I can get it to disappear just as well as swiss.
