1.have you had shedding
Of the wig? or ur real hair? NO on the real hair. Yes on the wig but not outrageous. And I think some of my shedding came from rough treatment. I bleached the wig for highlights and wore it to the beach, in the sauna/steam room. So it went thru quite a bit of treatment while I had it on.

2. has your lace torn
Yes the lace will tear if u are not careful w/removal. Mine tore a little but not enough for anyone to notice.

3. what glue is the best
I used a combo of the Tight grip glue and the tape. The tape is much easier to work w/than the glue and more gentle on the lace but it doesnt look quite as real IMO which why I did the combo. I put glue RIGHT where i planned to wear the part and tape on the rest.

4. has your "hairline" gone bald
Yes somewhat. But if I had used the tape instead of the glue to begin w/then the hairline would have lasted much longer. The glue removal is what causes the hairline to come out.

5. has your real hairline gone bald
NO . But I never put any glue or tape on my actual hair. I put it right in front of where my real hairline stopped.

6. can you put it up in a ponytail???help a sista out
You can put in a really low pony. Same restrictions as a regular wig as far as this one goes. I have a pic in my fotki of the wig in a low pony.

For me it was definitely worth the investment. It was $209 and I wore it errryday for a lil over 2 months! I would have kept it on long but it started getting too hot and my forehead need some air I purchased a second one and plan to where it once the winter season comes back. From what Ive seen I would say the natural perm one is better than the silky one but I havent personally had both. The natural perm is an exact match for AA relaxed hair texture..

I still have problems with the glue...i always have to "touch up" the glue during the middle of the day...I dont know the proper way of applying it.
