Quote:Question: The HCM piece, where your real hair meets the piece is very fake looking. You would have to have longer hair on the piece to flow and cover the seam (seam = where real hair meets the piece hair).

Sorry but I don't know HCM. This is a TL forum. Any questions about TL?

The FRONT seam (or in my case all the way around since I expose the seam all the way around....) needs to be lace - SFS. Period. The base has to be cut to perfectly match the bald spot. Then you can style the piece hair straight up and away in some different direction than the real side hair and then literally you have a "hairline" all the way around. The good thing about this is that neither the color nor the cut has to be perfect as there is not much of a blend. You real hair is "as is" and the piece is styled away from your real hair. The blend if any is extremely minimal.
