Hello folks,
I've been ordering at Toplace for about 5 or 6 years now, and I am quite content, but there are still things that I could improve with wearing hair.

Here's my situation:
My natural hair is brown, long and curly (big, nice curls). I'm wearing a topper unit TL 100 (swiss lace), length orders vary between 10 and 14 inches. I've always ordered freestyle ventilation to have a maximum of flexibility for my style. My sides and back, however, are very thin (unfortunately).

picture #1: My hairstyle is close like this guy, but 2 inches longer and a bit more curls:

picture #2: That being said, my natural curl looks close to this lady's (please just concentrate on the hair): http://pophairstyles.net/wp-content/uplo...styles.jpg


After attaching my hair system, I'm going without any products, just a leave-in conditioner from time to time. I'm actually up for the "natural" look. Now, I'm facing several issues:

1. While my natural curls look very healthy and in line with each other (belonging together, falling in streaks, see picture #2), the processed wig hair with its perm will never do the exact illusion: In the end, it's just a perm and each single hair seems to go "anywhere" which makes the hairstyle look rather frizzy or chaotic, compared to my natural curl.
=> Can you recommend any product (like wax or so) which I can run through my wig hair to make the curl more natural?

2. After attaching, I "style" (just by hand, brush, comb, no products used) my hair to the desired directions (a bit upwards at the front), so that it looks like the guy in picture #1.
However, after a couple of minutes, or after occasionally running my fingers (or wind) through my hair, these tend to fall down flat and in center part, like this here:

or this (just the top part)

Especially, together with my natural hair leaking through, this looks odd.

As I said, my hair systems' vantilation is always "freestyle". Now, I'm wondering if I should go for a "flatback" ventilation next time to make the hair more unlikely to fall down weakly to front and sides?? (Know what I mean? Maybe it "stands" up a little better then?)



Okay, to sum it up:

1. I want my wig hair to have "better" curls, which stay like this for hours (or all day). Less frizzy, a bit more in streams. A bit of wet look would be okay for me if it's not avoidable. So, which products may I or may I not use for this goal with my hair system.

2. I want to avoid the hair to fall down flat. Maybe this is especially the case when density decreased over the months (I'm using my hair pieces for about 4 months each). A "backwards" hairstyle might be nice for me, see picture #1 ... it looks like this directy after styling, but through the day it becomes more and more like picture #3. So, would "flatback" be a better ventilation for me?

3. I still want to keep the option of maybe trimming the front, going for a slightly shorter hairstyle and have it look like this:

Will this still be possible if I order flatback ventilation?

Do you guys have any example photos for a flatback-ventilated hair system?

Thanks for reading my rather long post, but I didn't want to miss out important details to illustrate teh situation.

Hi Uncle Donald,
With 10-14" hair length the weight of the hair tends to pull the hair straight. The longer the hair the more weight to 'pull the curl out.' I'm sorry but I'm not aware of any product that will restore the curl but maybe some other readers can make a recommendation. I don't think a flatback ventilation will help much as it's the natural aging of hair. We can do the shorter style with fallback ventilation--no problem. With the shorter style the curl will last longer.
Regards,
John
