My HCM piece i'm currently wearing is PSB sides and lace front. looks great, feels great however for some reason SUPER thin density from my last cut in 2 thursdays ago, kind of odd considering it hasn't shed at all, I must have not realized it at the time until my buddy who put a bag on my head at work when we were joking had said 'man your hair is getting thin'. I thought it was referring to my side hair but he was looking down from on top.

Now the dilemma is...

I wanted to learn how to do hardbond on my own and i understand I cannot do that with lace. I have my TL Lace piece that I can have DiDi cut in and reduce density however I'm worried about the transition from PSB to All lace. I play a lot of active sports and all so I would be horrified if the piece ever just came off or got pulled off when that would never happen with hard-bond.

What are some of your experiences with all Lace and the hold from various tapes. School starts up in barely 3 weeks and I need something solid, super strong and secure for a week at a time. Something that won't just pull off or get knocked off when swimming, working out, playing football, kiteboarding, etc.
