Thread: New piece super closeup pics

Thread: System comes off without lace release?
Post: RE: System comes off without lace release?
| If you're using ORWG you could be like me. My chemistry just destroys glue. After about 5 days or so I can just lift the piece right off without lace release. I have very oily skin too. |

Thread: Need to color unit hair to grey
Post: RE: Need to color unit hair to grey
| I highly doubt there is a way to do this. Toplace uses synthetic hair for their grey hair. I think you best bet would be to have the piece sent back to the factory and have grey added to it. |
