I've been using a robocut to cut my hair and the piece.
yesterday I did my skin base attachment Gbond. I used one layer on the piece and 4 on my perimeter/front and a bit down the middle.
I found a very reputable salon in my area and went in for them to cut my hair and the piece. I did not make appt. and just walked in.
My hair stylist was very friendly. He asked me what I wanted done.
I told him that 5 months ago I shaved my thinning hair and I'm wearing a looped polyskin piece. He was amazed.
They shampoed and conditioned all the hair. The stylist took 40 mins to cut the hair (mine and piece). He was handling the scissors like a magician. After chatting with him a bit, I fell asleep in the chair.
When it was over, I looked in the mirror and I could not believe how good I looked. The guy did an insane job on my head. He gave me a brushback hairstyle and told me to be bohemian with my hair. Bohemian means to put a little product and toss my hair back and let the hair fall where it wants to. No part on side, no need for a brush.
I asked him if it looks good in the hairline and if it is believable.
He said it looks amazing and if it did not he would have absolutely said something!
Cost: 45usd + 20tip(I should have just given him 100 and said thank you)
Conclusion:
I've never been to a "salon" that is top notch. I'm totally blown away from the experience and the result. I'll use the robocut now only as a last resort. This fellow texturized (donno wat that means) the blending area. I seriously don't know which hair is mine and which one's the piece. I haven't looked this good in 15 years. . .

Concerns:
Since it's winter, I have not had any uncomfortable experience wearing a skin piece. I'm concerned about when the weather is gonna get hot.
But for now, I dont even feel that I'm wearing anything LOL.
As far as hair snapping off etc. I live a normal life. I don't wrestle or get into hair pulling matches. So far so good.

For newbies sitting on the fence:
If your hair is thinning and it's pissing you off. Get a piece from here,
Shave/attatch it and walk over to the "salon". You will feel like a million bucks. Every time I go to the bathroom, I look at myself and say "damn". Problem fixed. Now I have to loose a few pounds LOL.
I wish toplace had a pill for that.
