That's a good idea. Try it out with the hair in front and if it doesn't work, i can always shave it off. You'll have to let us know how you like skin instead of lace. The debate keeps going back and forth as to which one is better. I'm starting with lace (already have the unit, just waiting for my hair to grow to a good length). I'm pretty nervous to jump into wearing. Still have a ton of questions and concerns.... but I hope it's all worth it in the end. Scary stuff..... ha.
