Thread: Greent tint?
Post: Greent tint?
I have a dark/medium blonde and notice at times either a little brassy tone and lately it actually looks like it has a slight green tint compared to my natural hair.
Any ideas on how to remedy this?... |

Try Extendabond/Proflex, it lasts a good 10 days longer for me than blue tape. |

Proflex should definitely last longer than a week. I get 3 weeks. It might be your prep. Have you tried Walker Scalp Protector? |

All Proflex will shine for a few days. You can dab the front hairline with your fingertips through the lace to reduce shine. Or you can try Stop Shine.

Thread: Advice for appropriate hair piece (photos)
Post: RE: Advice for appropriate hair piece
Start lower density, like 55-60%.
Send in a hair sample for a good color match.

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.

It'd be really hard/impossible to define the curl from a hair sample as it's no longer growing out of your head.
