Hi jeffsxyz ... you know, if you hadn`t gotten such crap service from the salon, and were literally driven to do that re-bond your self, you`d probably be still in their clutches, and like many people [I was the same] wary or afraid of the `` unknown``..... life itself isn`t perfect, so likewise, every system will not be perfect.... but as long as it`s within reasonable limits, it`s fine. Really lovely job there on the pics you posted [on your other posts this morning]...they should give anyone the courage to initially begin to wear, and maybe in time and with a bit of confidence, to try their own blend -in, as you really have done a smashing job there with yours...regards, Paul.
