I'm a newbie so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Quote:1) My old hair line ( I literally had 3 hairs there to prove it !!) was a 4 finger, but this is attached @ 3 fingers. She said it's best there, but I can tell you it doesn't feel right.....like movement of my forehead is coming into play.

The stock that you wear has a pretty straight hairline, I don't think it would have looked right further above. Ideally you should have desigened a custom piece with some recession...

The low staright hairline together with the thinned sides give the "wide forehead" look, which is one of the signs that give away a wig.

Quote:2) The area that was shaved to attach is larger & comes down into the sides; like it was cut to fit the piece rather that vica versa. This was my first time with any of this and didn't question - figured her eye is better than mine.

I think it would have looked good if you grew your side hair longer, the blend could have been good. Now when the long hair from top sits on the very short hair at the sides, it kinds of give it away again.

Quote:3) Density is way too high - when its dry, it's very dense. They're stocks and she cut both ( the other is even higher than the one I'm wearing). I asked for mid 50's% on my stock order & didn't know if they were or not before she cut.

The density in the pic from above look good, but indeed the density at the front hairline seems too much.

Overall I think people will have hard time believeing this is a wig, with the scalp showing like that, but it could have looked much better. Maybe of the more experience guys could tell you something more helpful.
