The transition was easy. I was ecstatic that I no longer had to deal with the issues that faced me with a topper.

It can, if you don't attach on the top.

For the longest time I was only doing a perimeter attachment, but I finally realized that the scalp irritation I was getting was from the french lace chafing my skin. I started attaching with a couple of strips on the top and behind the crown, now I don't have any issues.

Meaning you can't do a "fade". You can definitely go short though.

Quote:What's the shortest you can go w/o it looking off ?

Right above the ears the hair on my latest piece is very, very short. If your knots are well bleached you can go all the way down below 1/4". The shortest part of my current unit is barely more than stubble. I don't think I would go that short on the top or back, but we have figured out that you can go shorter than we expected.

I am still working on the full cap DVD, and I plan to show how short my units are on the sides.

My latest unit is the shortest I have gone on a new unit, and yes, since it is that short the hair does tend to want to stick out. I think it will settle in. We shall see.
