I do plan on trying a scalp protector but I'm not sure I'll use the Walker brand. Aside from Ultra Hold their glues and tapes cause the worst reaction from my skin.

You know, you may be onto something with the PH. I tried an apple cider vinegar rinse on my hair and it feels so much better. Much less dull.

First, the blending. Even though you order say 65% density, the density will still vary from piece to piece. Additionally the actual thickness of the hair shaft can vary from piece to piece. Because o...
