yeah, 70 may be pushing it a bit thin! you need to allow for some shedding and fallout, or the unit won't last long.
If that is you in the video, that wig can be tweeked to give you what you want. there are a lot of videos on thinning hairlines and taking some of the density out of the wig. it will make a big difference!

Lol, no that's not me in the video. I do like the bang though, I'm also hoping it would hide the harline enough to make it look more realistic. So if 70% is too thin, think I'll go for 80-90% at the front and 100% at for the rest? I had the hairdresser thin out the front on my current unit but it still has that bulky 'it's a closure' look at about it at the root, but the front looks a little wispy if you know what I mean, so I can't thin it out any more.

bella just be careful ordering stuff the yt'bers recommend.
I would ask for 80% density in the front, gradually increasing to 100-110%.
You can always take out, but it's harder to add hair.
Some vendors have a density chart, so definately have them send you one via email.
(re the video, I like the bangs, just think it's too much hair for a natural look, too thick at the hairline. the girl is a cutie, i just wanna hook her up doe.)

I hate giving a particular vendor, cause if they screw it up I feel responsible.  But I have ordered from Holly, Ken and Kevin F with success.

I ordered 60-70% density as mentioned earlier, & I absolutely love the density. It's a very realistic density & I didn't have to do any tweaking to thing it out to my liking at all. The parting looks amazing. Personally, anything over 80% looks too chunky especially if you are doing a coarse texture (?). If you're doing a less coarse texture, then I can see how 70% may be too thin for you.. This is my 60-70% IR Italian Yaki & I've had it for over a year now. This picture is from November. Even after many wears, the density is still doing just fine!

Wow, babigirl that unit looks great, very natural looking. Did you get 60-70% density throughout or just at the front?
