Hi guys..Attached is a picture of JRob wearing a full cap...the other chap with the short hair one is Dino [just for clarification ! ] ... I`m wondering if your issue with detectability-to-the-touch is caused by the higher-density system you are wearing...obviously more hair means more knots? ...I can honestly say I can`t feel anything like that on my partial [swiss lace with a density of around 55%] ... so that`s possibly the cause although you say you have old systems with lower density and you can feel those too.... it`s an `odd`one to me......... also, when systems are dispatched from the factory, normally they are sprayed with a silicone substance which gives them that shine..... it wears off after a few washes..... might be an idea to get hold of a silicone-base `finishing`spray and spray your own hair to match .....just a suggestion. Have you tried the ``back to natural`` colour blender ? That should iron out the problem of colour-blend for you.. Paul.
