Was waiting to see if anyone else replied first.. you`ve probably seen the other thread there about bleaching knots etc.... just my 2 -cents worth...... I`ve never bothered with bleaching [1b, freestyle, front hairline not exposed] and I don`t think I`d relish the idea of colouring a blonde system to almost black...I know it`s not that hard to do, but I try to keep this game as simple as I can just for my own `thing`... If knots were going to be too obvious, I reckon probably would be easier to order blonde and colour the hair dark rather than using bleach on the knots...harsh chemicals will inevitably shorten the life-span of the hair.....again I have no practical experience only what guys have been saying on here over time.... my present system is now 6 months old and worn everyday --it`s still in great condition.....will try get a pic tomorrow anad post ....running late here today ! Cheers guys. Paul.
