a friend of mine has got a polyskin unit, and he's doing just fine with that because he uses glue so that it is undetectable to the touch, and it is very easy to clean, 5 minutes with solvent.
so we were thinking about an all lace system(18#front,64#base), and a large polyskin aerea for sides and back to attach with glue.
what do you think about it?

Hey xxx,
On my first CoolPiece order, I did basically the same thing. What I found was...for me...that the polyskin perimeter was visible on a short cut. If you plan on going short (which I though is what you said you wanted to do) then I don't believe polyskin would be the right choice.
On my next order, I'm thinking of either having them double the 64# around the perimeter or seeing if the 3# is strong enough just to leave at the edge. My density will be 100% on top because I want to use gel and/or wax for that messy "bedhead" type look without showing a lot of scalp. So I that way I can use tape to apply and not worry about it being visible from above.
Bottom line is, tell Jeffrey exactly what you want to do in terms of your order and the style you want to wear and see what he recommends. Good luck!

i have 90% density and planning a 2" long haircut, does polyskin show in this case?
is the attachement strong enough on a 1" polyskin sides and back, even for showering with hair on?
thank you very much hollywood
by the way is 3# detactable to eyes and touch with 90% density?

I think with that short of a cut...which is the length that I wish to have also...that the polyskin around the perimeter would certainly show, even at 90% density. I think you would be better off with the poly with gauze that many people get and seem to like, or try the lace doubled in thickness around the edge.
As for the 3# base, I know nothing about it and would like to know more in terms of construction and detectibility before I place my next order. Anyone?

sorry to be the bearer of bad news Hollywood, but you can see the poly with gauze on a thin density.

Thanks Dino...this is the information I was looking for. I'll probably order the 64# base and just have the edges doubled. And you've got me curious about the 12# base since you say it matches the Farrell Ultra Minimal base, which I currently have. That might work well for me and what I wish to accomplish. Thanks again.
