I like the dry look as it doesn;t look like PERFECT hair. few people have naturally perfectly hydrated hair. Imperfection leads to a tougher detection. I cut in my hair looking like I am on my way to the barber not coming from the stylist. Little things keep the illusion working. People are always shocked when I reveal the unit because it does not look like a typical unit in its style or perfection.

I have been saying for awhile that the "sweet spot" comes about halfway through the lifespan of the piece. It's settled in perfectly, not too much shedding, the hair looks more natural, etc. That's why I love styling products. They allow me to cheat the hair by using more wax in the beginning and end. In the middle you can get away with a more "natural" look since the hair looks its best.

And I totally agree that the details are what make a piece. Slight imperfections and such are never associated with hairpieces. I don't even bother to ensure a perfectly symmetrical hairline. You look at a lot of natural hairlines and they are a bit crooked.
