The hair on a TL 700 is looped hair between two very thin layers of skin---really thin skin. Don't ask me how the factory does this because I don't know. So if you wear your hair plulled back in a pony tail it would pulling on the base and I wouldn't recommend a TL 700.
Here's a super close up photo of the hair line on a TL 700 New Generation base.

I'm wearing my TL700 right now.
Yesterday i used "nice n easy dark brown". The instructions said 25 mins for hair to receive the color. I use it because I have greys on my sides and back. I have also found out that I can get a perfect color match.
I placed the color paste on my own hair and waited 10 mins. I then started placing it on the TL700 while pinned on a hair block holding it upside down so that color wont get to the base.
While I was at it and since there is a ton of hair color formula I took care of my SFS that I had still on my head LOL.
At the 20+ minute mark, I rinsed out the TL700 thoroughly and then took a shower. My hair, the TL700 and the SFS now match. My greys are also gone.
This morning I took my SFS off. Preped my scalp/shaved etc.
I did a full head Got2bGlued. The front 1 inch I used GhostBond 2 layers on my head and a little bit on the poly front. Waited 5-10 mins and carefully placed it on my head.
It looks great. The scalp (top down) looks real.
I used a robocut for the cut-in. Finished off the whole piece with blending shears all over.
The hairline looks great. I have a side part, with a front(ish) ventilation so there is very little hairline showing.
My only mistake today is I went to the gym and got the white line on the hairline due to sweat. My mistake though. I should have left the glue to cure for a day (oops).
Many ppl have said that these things are hot etc. . .
They are fine. Did not bother me while in the steam room.
There is no "hollow" sound when I touch the piece.
I'd be very comfortable having somebody standing behind me staring at the top of my head or side part.
Will keep you all posted. I'm thinking to wear it during the week at work.
I do wish it was a bit denser though.
I hope I can get 3 months from it. (donno).
