i understand your concern it was mine's as well, i personally have never worn a wig in my life and always didn't like the idea of it, until i saw how natural's lf's look.. swiss is more undetectable, but that's why i say go with a chinese vendor b/c its less in expense and therefore if you beat it up you won't feel like you spent an arm and a leg and destroyed it.. b/c until you learn the app skills down pat you will beat it up a little bit, and then spend more if you want too. but you might find you don't need too.. but that's up to you, especially since you do need the european hair, which with an american vendor could be very costly.. chinese you won't spend as much.. and some might have the kind of hair you usually use but you need to ask them if they have that type of texture.. personally i think brazilian or european would be best for you b/c every vendor doesn't feel comfortable going too light on certain hair textures, b/c they feel it damages the hair and it  might tangle. .these units are not suppose to tangle easy if the cuticles are aligned.. yes i always order baby hairs b/c is does help with the application to hide your flaws.. i personally cut the lace all the way back to the hairline so you can't see it.. you can always like i do, order transparent swiss lace b/c it works really well for me, and i'm sure it will do the same for you.. it melts into my skin and i'm rather light complexed... i use to order light brown b/c every vendor's light brown is different some came too dark for me, so i basically stick to transparent..
