Me too on my original synthetic AHS piece. This process pulled more of my own hair out. Very uncomfortable to sleep on. Knots - or points as AHS called them - often broke necessitating a return trip to the salon for re-pointing which was inconvenient and expensive. When the points loosened up the unit moved around like a pile of the proverbial on ice. And to think that was touted as the latest breakthrough in hair replacement technolongy back then (by AHS).
