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. |

I'm on my phone looking at this but when i zoom in looks as though they didn't use single stand single knots at the front. Using singles makes the knots half the size and much less visible. |

Cutting in a system isn't quite the same as cutting normal growing hair. This is especially true when it comes to blending. A good stylist that has spent years cutting in systems knows the little tric... |

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... |

Toplace uses single knots on the hairline and I believe the crown if you have a crown, the rest is double knot. Which is actually good because double knots tend to shed less and you can't see the knot... |

That has to be one of the worst hairlines I've ever seen on a piece. It's like a solid wall of hair. The contour is terrible too. |
