Hi guys, I've been coloring both my hair and my stock units the same color but they never really match that well. I tried the custom unit route but even with a hair sample the color match was no bett...

Thanks! Yeah maybe I should just send it by regular because I guess I don't even have to list the contents then.

Hi, A while back I bought a stock unit that I quickly ruined by cutting off the front for a tiny partial but it was too small and hard to work with. The glue got in my real hairline and I accidental...
