The problem you have is the cut in. The cut in is the most important thing. You have lace showing at 65% density. Thre's no way the lace should show at 65% density with dry hair if it was cut right unless its not glued or taped down properly or you glued or taped over hair. Lower your desnity a little, mine is 55% desnity, and I get it cut at a guy that knows how to cut pieces and blend in the piece with the hair. My sides are very thin.
