I thought we are supposed to leave a little bit of lace at the front of our systems. Does this only apply to sfs lace, but with french lace you should cut it all the way to the hairline to avoid puckering? I ask this in particular because I just got my first french lace piece and I experienced puckering on first attachment (i leave 1/8"+ of lace at front).

Does the disadvantage of cutting the lace up to the hairline on SFS exist on French lace? In other words, does cutting all the lace on french solve the puckering issue but cause the other problem (the one when doing that with sfs).

What's the deal here?

It has nothing to do with leaving bare lace at the front, It is caused by the piece not lying flat on the scalp and that is caused by the piece having the wrong curvature or not being applied to the scalp correctly, The lace should be stretched out towards each temple so it doesnt leave any creases in the lace at the front hairline. This is why I always advise on applying the piece at the front FIRST not applying the back first.
