i would second that.......... got to be glued is by far the best thing.. as a perfectionist it allows me to readjust without any hassle until my unit looks perfect. i wash my unit ever other day and i make my units last 10+ months...fading co lour and rough texture can always be dealth with haircolour and softener products.... i have been wearing hair since 2008.. and in my exp a slightly rough texture helps achieve styles easily .. brand new hair are just to sliky and always fall flat... and the picture of your style you want is very easily achievable. that is now afyer 7 years of wearing... so yes the elder in the forum have advised you good... go easy on the first time ...
