products for long curly hair? + flatback ventilation?
Hello folks,
I've been ordering at Toplace for about 5 or 6 years now, and I am quite content, but there are still things that I could improve with wearing hair.

Here's my situation:
My natural hair is brown, long and curly (big, nice curls). I'm wearing a topper unit TL 100 (swiss lace), length orders vary between 10 and 14 inches. I've always ordered freestyle ventilation to have a maximum of flexibility for my style. My sides and back, however, are very thin (unfortunately).

picture #1: My hairstyle is close like this guy, but 2 inches longer and a bit more curls:

picture #2: That being said, my natural curl looks close to this lady's (please just concentrate on the hair): http://pophairstyles.net/wp-content/uplo...styles.jpg


After attaching my hair system, I'm going without any products, just a leave-in conditioner from time to time. I'm actually up for the "natural" look. Now, I'm facing several issues:

1. While my natural curls look very healthy and in line with each other (belonging together, falling in streaks, see picture #2), the processed wig hair with its perm will never do the exact illusion: In the end, it's just a perm and each single hair seems to go "anywhere" which makes the hairstyle look rather frizzy or chaotic, compared to my natural curl.
=> Can you recommend any product (like wax or so) which I can run through my wig hair to make the curl more natural?

2. After attaching, I "style" (just by hand, brush, comb, no products used) my hair to the desired directions (a bit upwards at the front), so that it looks like the guy in picture #1.
However, after a couple of minutes, or after occasionally running my fingers (or wind) through my hair, these tend to fall down flat and in center part, like this here:

or this (just the top part)

Especially, together with my natural hair leaking through, this looks odd.

As I said, my hair systems' vantilation is always "freestyle". Now, I'm wondering if I should go for a "flatback" ventilation next time to make the hair more unlikely to fall down weakly to front and sides?? (Know what I mean? Maybe it "stands" up a little better then?)



Okay, to sum it up:

1. I want my wig hair to have "better" curls, which stay like this for hours (or all day). Less frizzy, a bit more in streams. A bit of wet look would be okay for me if it's not avoidable. So, which products may I or may I not use for this goal with my hair system.

2. I want to avoid the hair to fall down flat. Maybe this is especially the case when density decreased over the months (I'm using my hair pieces for about 4 months each). A "backwards" hairstyle might be nice for me, see picture #1 ... it looks like this directy after styling, but through the day it becomes more and more like picture #3. So, would "flatback" be a better ventilation for me?

3. I still want to keep the option of maybe trimming the front, going for a slightly shorter hairstyle and have it look like this:

Will this still be possible if I order flatback ventilation?

Do you guys have any example photos for a flatback-ventilated hair system?

Thanks for reading my rather long post, but I didn't want to miss out important details to illustrate teh situation.
