I must give it a light shampooing now as I used two different types of leave-in conditioner....sometimes even with the best of conditioners, you can get a little build-up and it can leave the hair looking a little `tired`..... over-shampooing is unnecessary and will lead to color-lift ..... hair is not normally `dirty`as such, so no need to go heavy with shampoos. I posted these just to show newbies the density....the big temptation [naturally] in the effort to `cover up`the baldness is to go too heavy with the density..... a certain level of scalp show-through will add to the realistic effect of a nicely-styled system whereas a high density will be a sure fire way of drawing attention and make you self-conscious all over again. Hope these are of interest anyway....... regards to you all, Paul.
