Ok thanks a bunch for this.

I have never experienced this "dried out" hair look, I remember seeing a photo on this forum of a 7 month old system and people said it looked good, he was showing how long it could last for.

so you would say, at the 10th month mark the hair just looks pretty bad in which you would have to re-order a new one at that point?

also would you say it dries out due to wearing it, so I could order 2 hair systems, wear 1 for 10 months, then the other one sits in a drawer for 10 months, then I throw out the first one, wear the 2nd one for 10 months and it lasts for 10 months and looks good?
