Thread: Advice for appropriate hair piece (photos)
Post: RE: Advice for appropriate hair piece (photos)
| It'd be really hard/impossible to define the curl from a hair sample as it's no longer growing out of your head.
I wouldn't worry about the curl much, get whatever is closest to the style you want a... |

Thread: Advice for appropriate hair piece (photos)
Post: RE: Advice for appropriate hair piece (photos)
| You can't go too short because it has to blend with your hair. Also if it's really short AND low density you're going to start to expose things you don't want to on the scalp.
I wouldn't go any shor... |

Thread: Possible? (pics)
Post: RE: Possible?
| An exposed hairline is never 100% undetectable, that's an Internet myth. If you're OK with 90-95% on good days and a lot of work to maintain it, and maybe it being noticeable at the right angle/lighti... |

Post: RE: Newbie Question: Getting it right in the first...
| I would try and find someone local for your first cut. Being in SF, there has to be someone good.
I personally wouldn't have been comfortable doing a mail-in first time, but that's me. |

Send in a hair sample for a good color match.

Thread: Stripping color from bio hair?
Post: RE: Stripping color from bio hair?
| Not going to the same salon for the cut-in on the new piece. They are fine for maintenance, but I don't just trust them yet for cut-ins. Going to one of the more well known stylists on this board. |
