Question re: bleaching knots - jcoors - 09-10-2009
So I got my piece in the other day - a fullpiece, my first one. Looks nice. However the knots aren't bleached. My hair is dark brown. Can someone please explain to me the bleaching process? I read this and thought it was somewhat helpful but not fully: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.toplace.us/hair_replacement_system_tips.html#5">http://www.toplace.us/hair_replacement_ ... ips.html#5</a><!-- m -->
1. Should I bleach the knots extra bleach blonde/shimmering even though I have dark brown hair, or alternatively a brown lighter than the brown of my piece?
2. How do I bleach the knots? I turn the piece inside out and put it on a mannequin, then liberally apply? How do I keep it from affecting more hair than just the knots?
3. Aftercare: after I finish, I have to wash the piece...use shampoo and conditioner and knot sealer? I've never worn a piece before, so just trying to figure it out.
Any other comments or suggestions I would appreciate as well...

Not sure if this helps...there are a couple threads about bleaching knots in the info links sticky.
