To be honest In the 5 months I have been wearing I find that the clor match and curl match is far more of a give away than lace, I mean if you cut the lace to one of two holes in front of the hairline no one is ever going to see that. Concentrate more on matching the color and density than anything else, people wont look closley unless its looks dodgy from the first sight (eg wrong color, curl, density etc). Good luck with what ever you decide to do
