I waited a year to do my review so I can give people full context. I am a male, who is mixed race black/white, my hair is fine and is the 16inches, so I got the 16in. Unit. I do have thinner hair on top due to radiation exposure and made this purchase while I save for the hair transplant.

Now, I want to say that it is great out of the box, for those who like more volume you can certainly wear it from the box, the perimeter is pre-plucked and to me was very realistic, and the framing of the hairline is very natural, it is a tiny bit reddish tint on the cappuccino last from tinting, so I'm gonna try the lighter one, I wish it was transparent lace. I am fortunate to have a roommate that works in a salon, so they put layers in it and "took some weight out" as he says lol: volume-wise. So it became very natural. I plucked the heck out of the part lol although it looked good from the start, I will say being new I over-plucked the sides so I'm buying a new one.

The unit had no smell and minimum shedding and I use the Tresemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo/Conditioner and flat iron spray. It does swell a little in humidity like human hair and it looks like a fresh blow-out, with little tangles from the nape when sweating, but not too crazy. I get hella compliments and they think it's mine. You can wear it glueless for sure, as I did a lot. Im a sweater so here in NYC in the summer I use the Ebin Active and do 3 spray-on layers and it's good all day.

Sorry, my review is so long. The photo in the salon is my hair before braiding and then the unit after cutting/layering and taking some bulk out, the others are me with it on.
