Oh my gawd...I just saw your photos, Miamigirl, and your hair looks fabulous. I love it! It's so natural, and the colors (which you can really see in the outside shots) are stunning. I can't see any weirdness in the part at all from the photos; it looks totally natural to me. I also think with some wear, the mesh may become a bit more "worn down" and blend into the scalp more. But again, in the photos, you can't see anything. I love the way it's styled, too. It looks really cute with your front hair swept back, and with it all down, it's damned sexy--nice and voluminous at the crown, which is awesome.

I seriously encourage you to post these photos here--black out your face or shoot from the back, whatever--so that everyone who comes to this site with hairloss and thinks some extension stylist has the solution can see what's possible with a topper.

Many, many congratulations, girl. I know it's been a long and ardous road finding a good cosmetic solution, but you've finally found it. Congratuations to your girl (Peggy?) who hooked it up, too. She obviously knows what she's doing. You look drop-dead gorgeous!

On the same note - a trick that I use on my natural part sometimes, when it seems to be showing too much, it a touch of a smoky taupe colored powder eye shadow. I have dark hair and it seems to disguise my scalp really well. It may work on the mesh too...
Early years are learning years, make them count!

Jenny: How did I know that you would be lurking around here today? Check you e-mail girly, there are plenty of pics waiting for you.  Yes, you are under the right assumption, I'm trying to cover the woven mesh and no, the part is not too wide, it's just right.  I tried Toppik already, which never fails to disappoint me, so I'm off looking for the next disguise.  Let me know what you come up with.  Thanks for your help.

Hey girlie! It's good to see ya, and I'm glad to hear the piece looks good. I can't wait to see pics. Now let's see...disguising the mesh part. I'm assuming you mean that where the hair parts, you can see the woven mesh, instead of skin (duh, this is obviously what you mean). I wonder if a little hair mascara, dabbed on strategically, would help, or some sort of cosmetic product, like concealer, in a flesh tone. I assume the part isn't too wide; it's just the actual mesh that's probelmatic.

Lemme think about this a bit, and see if there's anything I can come up with from my usual hair haunts....

Hi Ladies.  Please help me....I need your advice.  I suffer from hair loss problems and recently got a custom made piece.  I love it, except the part can look a little fake at times.  Can you recommend any product that might help to disguise the mesh part?  I only need to cover a little of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
