Thanks ladies, I will cut all the way to the back. Do I just use fray check to seal the lace then? Or do you recommend something else?]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2013 17:34:06 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/different-opinions-on-how-far-back-to-cut-the-lace_topic354130_post10114878.html#10114878 <![CDATA[Different opinions on how far back to cut the lace : I cut a little less than 1/8....]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/different-opinions-on-how-far-back-to-cut-the-lace_topic354130_post10114748.html#10114748 Author: Prairieflower1960

I cut a little less than 1/8.  I find that leaving that makes mine more realistic.]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2013 16:01:17 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/different-opinions-on-how-far-back-to-cut-the-lace_topic354130_post10114748.html#10114748 <![CDATA[Different opinions on how far back to cut the lace : I cut all the way to the 1st...]]> http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/different-opinions-on-how-far-back-to-cut-the-lace_topic354130_post10114486.html#10114486 Author: sugabanana

Oh Ms. Lola lol...

Yes I cut all the way to the knots. I don't use glues or tapes, just the Tootsie method, so having this extra edge of lace is unnecessary.  As long as you're sealing the knots and the edge of the lace you shouldn't have an issue. Leaving lace is something that's done to prevent "losing hair" from fraying.

Yes, do cut the lace all the way back in the front .. or else when people look at your face .. they will see it. Shocked Ms Lola means well .. but...
 
If you want to leave a bit out in the back at the nape for easibility - fine because the hair will cover the lace so .. no one can see it.

I do this as well.  Looks more natural in the front that way imho.

I've been watching lots of YT videos on cutting the lace and it seems that I'm seeing a few different opinions on how far back to cut it. Some videos are showing and saying to cut right butt up against the first knots and some are showing about 1/8 inches or so. Looking for opinions and reasons for cutting lace at different spots. I'd assume you wouldn't want any lace at all, therefor to cut as close to the knots as possible. Is this not the case?]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:40:26 +0000 http://Forum.BlackHairMedia.com/different-opinions-on-how-far-back-to-cut-the-lace_topic354130_post10112200.html#10112200
