Sometimes I cant really see it in the mirror. But in the car mirror when the sunlight is shining down on me i can clearly see it . i see a line of lace around.
The lace is french and its light brown HOWEVEr i did dye it with a fabric pen which is brown.
I use blueliner tape. Idk if that makes it more noticable or not.
 
I went in the bathroom at work and went close to the mirror and lifted up my hair and i can see it.
 
I know someone on here said they checked their lace in the mirror in the sunlight and they said they didnt see any lace. how is that possible? hm.
 
I did cut it back but not too far up the hairline. Only 3 cells which someone recommended.

I am also having that problem, but my lace is cut back to the hairline.  I am thinking it may be the adhesive or I may have color my lace too dark on the edge of the lace.  I use foundation to cover it up.  Any suggestions are appreciatedSmile


Sorry not trying to jack the thread.

french lace is monstrous to hide.  Try the steri strips or breh's tape method....

I use EasyTab to hide French Lace. Griff, you're right that stuff is like trying to hide a chain link fence.

LOLLOL You're right. I only have 1 french lace unit because even when the lace color is right it's still a lot harder for me to hide than the swiss lace.
2Cor 12:8-9
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness".

I have black hair and one day I saw a piece of my lace right at the top of my forehead and on my sides. I took a black marker and colored the lace that worked like a charm because it looked like part of my baby hairs.
